The Actor's Art and Craft: William Esper Teaches the Meisner

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Esper, William / DiMarco, Damon / Mamet, David, PUBLISHER: Anchor Books, William Esper, one of the leading acting teachers of our time, explains and extends Sanford Meisner's legendary technique, offering a clear, concrete, step-by-step approach to becoming a truly creative actor. Esper worked closely with Meisner for seventeen years and has spent decades developing his famous program for actor's training. The result is a rigorous system of exercises that builds a solid foundation of acting skills from the ground up, and that is flexible enough to be applied to any challenge an actor faces, from soap operas to Shakespeare. Co-writer Damon DiMarco, a former student of Esper's, spent over a year observing his mentor teaching first-year acting students. In this book he recreates that experience for us, allowing us to see how the progression of exercises works in practice. "The Actor's Art and Craft" vividly demonstrates that good training does not constrain actors' instincts--it frees them to create characters with truthful and compelling inner lives. Acquista Ora

The Secret History of the World

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Booth, Mark, PUBLISHER: Overlook Press, The amazing surprise "New York Times" bestseller, filled with "breathtaking glimpses into worlds that heretofore have been little explored" ("Foreward") They say that history is written by the victors.

In this groundbreaking and now famous work, Mark Booth embarks on an enthralling tour of our world's secret histories. Starting from a dangerous premise-that everything we've known about our world's past is corrupted, and that the stories put forward by the various cults and mystery schools throughout history are true-Booth produces nothing short of an alternate history of the past years. From Greek and Egyptian mythology to Jewish folklore, from Christian cults to Freemasons, from Charlemagne to Don Quixote, from George Washington to Hitler- Booth shows that history needs a revolutionary rethink, and he has years of hidden wisdom to back it up.

Shooting Stars: Photographs from the Portnoy Collection at

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Podnieks, Andrew / Portnoy, Lewis, PUBLISHER: Firefly Books, "A hidden treasure for the hockey world."Craig Campbell, The Hockey Hall of Fame "The real excitement in Lewis Portnoy's life began one night 30 years ago, when he witnessed a savage brawl in a now shattered establishment just east of Dogtown (St. Louis).""St. Louis Post-Dispatch" The brawl that changed Lewis Portnoy's life was in a major league hockey game. He had brought a newly bought Nikon to the game, "and I jumped up and started shooting." He became, for 10 great years (), the leading photographer of hockey in North America, pioneering new lighting and photography techniques, soon copied by other professionals. Portnoy's 75 color photographs of National Hockey League players in action represent the birth of modern hockey, after the expansion from the original six-team league.

This book is the first to chronicle the opening of that era in hockey, and Lewis Portnoy's photos perfectly complement the descriptive text by Andrew Podnieks. There are essays and player anecdotes about the development of the larger league and the great times that went along with it. Andrew Podnieks is a hockey historian.

Learning from the Eu Constitutional Treaty: Democratic

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Crum, Ben, PUBLISHER: Routledge, Assessing the EU Constitutional Treaty proposes a theory of democratic constitutionalisation beyond the nation-state, through a reconstruction of the fate of the EU Constitutional Treaty. Even if much of the substance of the Constitutional Treaty survives in the EU Treaty of Lisbon that has come into force in , the process of democratic constitutionalisation to which it aspired has to be deemed a failure. Still, the Constitutional Treaty process can be considered as a first attempt to provide international institutions with a democratic foundation that has been the object of the peoples consent. The book analyses the EU Constitutional Treaty process from a normative perspective that is grounded in broader political theoretical debates about democratic constitutionalism and globalisation. It will be of interest to students and scholars of European Union politics, history and policy.

Capitalism and Religion

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Goodchild, Philip B., PUBLISHER: Routledge, Our global ecological crisis demands that we question the rationality of the culture that has caused it: Western modernity's global free market capitalism.

Soundings in Atlantic History: Latent Structures and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bailyn, Bernard / Denault, Patricia L. / Behrendt, Stephen D., PUBLISHER: Harvard University Press, These innovative essays probe the underlying unities that bound the early modern Atlantic world into a regional whole and trace some of the intellectual currents that flowed through the lives of the people of the four continents. Drawn together in a comprehensive Introduction by Bernard Bailyn, the essays include analyses of the climate and ecology that underlay the slave trade, pan-Atlantic networks of religion and of commerce, legal and illegal, inter-ethnic collaboration in the development of tropical medicine, science as a product of imperial relations, the Protestant international that linked Boston and pietist Germany, and the awareness and meaning of the Atlantic world in the mind of that preeminent intellectual and percipient observer, David Hume. In his Introduction Bailyn explains that the Atlantic world was never self-enclosed or isolated from the rest of the globe but suggests that experiences in the early modern Atlantic region were distinctive in ways that shaped the course of world history.

The Limits of Globalization

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Scott, Alan, PUBLISHER: Routledge, IThe Limits of Globalization criticizes the idea that globalization is an unstoppable historical force in the face of which politics are helpless and calls for a renewal of political projects which can defend society against markets. The limitations of the globalizing forces operating in the world today can best be understood through an analysis of their concrete manifestations. Using examples from the people's art of Potsdammer Platz to the ways in which Western cultural icons are reinterpreted in Asian magazines, this collection of essays unpicks the rhetoric of globalization in political analysis, cultural theory and urban and economic sociology and exposes the myth of the global society as in many cases a dangerous exaggeration.
