Through a series of entertaining and engaging chapters on themes, personalities and trends, Theatreland reflects the effortless co-existence between past and present that is such a feature of London's theatre world, and shows how actors and producers, playwrights and publicists, theatre historians and modern architects, choreographers, critics and customers all play their part in ensuring that London remains the theatre capital of the world. Theatreland brings back to life the generations of actors, impresarios, princes and playwrights who created and shaped this cityscape, and describes how the 21st century theatre industry continues to develop and change. >

Time Bandit: Two Brothers, the Bering Sea, and One of the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hillstrand, Johnathan / Hillstrand, Andy / MacPherson, Malcolm, PUBLISHER: Ballantine Books, Every Alaskan king crab season, brothers Andy and Johnathan Hillstrand risk their lives and seek their fortunes upon the treacherous waters of the Bering Sea. Sons of a hard-bitten, highly successful fisherman, and born with brine in their blood, the Hillstrand boys couldn't imagine a life without a swaying deck underfoot and a harvest of mighty king crabs waiting to be pulled from the ocean floor. In pursuit of their daily catch, the brothers brave ice floes and heaving waves sixty feet high, the perils of thousand-pound steel traps thrown about by the punishing wind, and the constant menace of the open, hungry water--epitomized in the chorus of a haunting sailors' sing-along: "Many brave hearts are asleep in the deep, so beware, beware." By turns raucous and reflective, exhilarating and anguished, enthralling, suspenseful, and wise, Time Bandit chronicles a larger-than-life love affair as old as civilization itself--a love affair between striving, willful man and inscrutable, enduring nature.

Seascape Gardening: From New England to the Carolinas

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Halpin, Anne / Foley, Roger, PUBLISHER: Storey Publishing, Gardening by the sea is unlike any other gardening experience in the world. The gentle, misty light, moderate climate, and natural beauty of the coast only make seaside gardens more beautiful. Add to that the pleasant memories of summers spent by the sea as a child, and the allure is irresistible for most any gardener or ocean-lover. But aside from the scenic landscape and romantic setting are serious challenges to be overcome. The East Coast is known for its extreme weather--storms blow in during the winter with gale-force winds, spraying sand and salt on every plant in their path. Even during the summer, high winds, fierce sun, and periods of drought challenge the toughest plants. Seaside gardens must be able to tolerate the elements and still look good. Author Anne Halpin is a renowned garden designer and writer who lives on Long Island Sound. She navigates the rocky shores and sandy dunes of the East Coast from New England to South Carolina, showing readers how to plant and care for seaside gardens that work with the elements, not against them. Keeping in mind those who only dream of living by the sea, Halpin also offers portraits of successful seaside gardens up and down the coast, with stunning images from award-winning photographer Roger Foley.

Scandalous Behavior: Advice on Dating for Women and Love

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Carroll, Richard, PUBLISHER: PublishAmerica, I have hung out with girls all my life, who I think are more intelligent than men, and the only form of communication I had where I could learn anything of substance was from women. When you are always in the company of women, you always hear both sides of the real story, not the macho and overly exaggerated facts that men give. So really, in essence, women made me the womanizer that I became. I learned so much about women being around them on a constant basis. It's like a wolf among sheep. Women have an overwhelming desire to mother you or to think that they can mold you and try to change you into the imaginary man or husband that they really want, when most women themselves don't really know. That's the principal reason I wrote this novel.

A Primer of Real Functions 4ed

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Boas, Ralph Philip / Boas, Harold P., PUBLISHER: Mathematical Association of America (MAA), This is a revised, updated, and augmented edition of a classic Carus monograph with a new chapter on integration and its applications. Earlier editions covered sets, metric spaces, continuous functions, and differentiable functions. To that, this edition adds sections on measurable sets and functions and the Lebesgue and Stieltjes integrals. The book retains the informal chatty style of the previous editions. It presents a variety of interesting topics, many of which are not commonly encountered in undergraduate textbooks, such as the existence of continuous everywhere-oscillating functions; two functions having equal derivatives, yet not differing by a constant; application of Stieltjes integration to the speed of convergence of infinite series. For readers with a background in calculus, the book is suitable either for self-study or for supplemental reading in a course on advanced calculus or real analysis. Students of mathematics will find here the sense of wonder that was associated with the subject in its early days.

Late Winter

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Brown, Bill, PUBLISHER: Iris Press, The idea of home, the magic of story, and the healing power of nature inform the poems in Late Winter. Yet, Bill Brown understands that loss and grief, breaking and mending deepen the human experience. "Taking joy, isn't easy," Brown writes, "as if you could ignore lost faces in city streets, or playgrounds littered with broken glass." These poems often mine the darkness of loss, war and our culture's constant barrage of status and style. Even so, in "Dream Letter Lullaby" Brown asks us to "be as hopeful as the hands of children sleeping." His world gives us the right to reclaim our innocence. He knows what every child knows- "A closed heart can't greet a winter sky. Even a rain puddle is filled with it, and a horse trough, and the slow current of creeks." Late Winter opens with a search for home. By the book's end, Brown believes that, with the power of memory and love, home can be born like a covenant in each of us, and that "Some ancient hope, like winter light, is allied with the gravity of stars."
