Book Description
The Invisible Actor presents the captivating and unique methods of the distinguished Japanese actor and director, Yoshi Oida. While a member of Peter Brook's theatre company in Paris, Yoshi Oida developed a masterful approach to acting that combined the oriental tradition of supreme and studied control with the Western performer's need to characterise and expose depths of emotion. Written with Lorna Marshall, Yoshi Oida explains that once the audience becomes openly aware of the actor's method and becomes too conscious of the actor's artistry, the wonder of performance dies. The audience must never see the actor but only his or her performance. Throughout Lorna Marshall provides contextual commentary on Yoshi Oida's work and methods. In a new foreword to accompany the Bloomsbury Revelations edition, Yoshi Oida revisits the questions that have informed his career as an actor and explores how his skilful approach to acting has shaped the wider contours of his life.

Book Description
The Invisible Bicycle brings together different insights into the social, cultural and economic history of the bicycle and cycling in historical eras of ubiquitous bicycle use that have remained relatively invisible in bicycle history. It revisits the typical timeline of cycling’s decline in the 1950s and 1960s and the renaissance beginning in the 1970s by bringing forth the large national and local variations, varying uses and images of the bicycle, and different bicycle cultures as well as their historical background and motivations. To understand the role, possibilities and challenges of the bicycle today, it is necessary to know the history that has formed them. Therefore The Invisible Bicycle is recommended also to present-day practitioners and planners of bicycle mobility. Contributors are: Peter Cox, Martin Emanuel, Tiina Männistö-Funk, Timo Myllyntaus, Nicholas Oddy, Harry Oosterhuis, William Steele, Manuel Stoffers, Sue-Yen Tjong Tjin Tai, Frank Veraart.

Book Description
Twenty-seven-year-old Sarah The barge had it all - a loving boyfriend, an Ivy League degree, and a successful career - when her life was derailed by an unthinkable diagnosis: aggressive breast cancer. After surviving the grueling treatments - though just barely - Sarah moved to Portland, Oregon to start over. There, a chance encounter with an exhausted African mother and her daughters transformed her life again. A Somali refugee whose husband had left her, Hadhi was struggling to raise five young daughters, half a world a way from her war-torn homeland. Alone in a strange country, Hadhi and the girls were on the brink of starvation in their own home, "invisible" to their neighbors and to the world. As Sarah helped Hadhi and the girls navigate American life, her outreach to the family became a source of courage and a lifeline for herself. Poignant, at times shattering, Sarah The barge's riveting memoir invites readers to engage in her story of finding connection, love, and redemption in the most unexpected places.

Book Description
Paper is NOT your average novel about the Wild West. Although it is not without a few gun battles, it really is about powerful people willing to present their own “truth” as reality to get what they want. One such person is Bat Masterson, who is not afraid to use a sheriff’s badge to get what he wants in Dodge City. While supposedly working to keep law and order, he secretly leads the Dodge City Gang and gets rich on the proceeds of crime. Another is newspaperman Ransome Cooper, who has no trouble fabricating news stories to fill in the space around the advertising he sells for the Dodge City Fable. But advertising also has its own “truth”, as Una, a young woman from Texas will discover. After seeing a job ad, Una decides to flee the stifling religious household in which she has grown up and start afresh in Dodge City. To get there, Una must face the dangers of a late-season cattle drive in 1886. Along the way, she meets carpenter John Barringer and his new wife, Fannie May, who are running from their own troubles. As a trio, they must depend on each other and their wits to survive—along with a strategy developed by Fannie May, which she has based on the Rock, Paper, Scissors game. Paper is the second book in the exciting historical fiction series Rock Paper Scissors by Montgomery Colt, but it can also be enjoyed as a standalone novel. As in his first book, Colt adeptly weaves real historical players (such as Bat Masterson, George Hoover, Doc Holliday, Wyatt Earp, and Buffalo Bill Cody) and events with a fictional tale that makes the Wild West come alive, while telling a story that is particularly relevant in modern times.
