Book Description
Theatre Across Oceans: Mediators Of Transatlantic Exchange allows the reader to enter and understand the infrastructural 'backstage area' of global cultural mobility during the years between 1890 and 1925. Located within the research fields of global history and theory, the geographical focus of the book is a transatlantic one, based on the active exchange in this phase between North and South America and Europe. Emanating from a rich body of archival material, the study argues that this exchange was essentially facilitated and controlled by professional theatrical mediators (agents, brokers), who have not been sufficiently researched within theatre or historical studies. The low visibility of mediators in the scientific research is in diametrical contrast to the enormous power that they possessed in the period dealt with in this book.

Book Description
"An illuminating look at the surprising upside of ambiguity--and how, properly harnessed, it can inspire learning, creativity, even empathy Life today feels more overwhelming and chaotic than ever. We face constant political and economic upheaval, and we're bombarded with information, much of it contradictory. Managing uncertainty--in our jobs, our relationships, and our everyday lives--is fast becoming an essential skill. What should we do when we have no idea what to do? In Nonsense, Jamie Holmes shows how we react to ambiguous situations and how we can do it better. Being confused is unpleasant, so we tend to shutter our minds as we grasp for meaning and stability, especially in stressful circumstances. We're hard-wired to resolve contradictions quickly and extinguish anomalies. But in doing so, we lose a vital opportunity to learn something new, solve a hard problem, or see the world from another perspective. Over the last few years, new insights from social psychology and cognitive science have deepened our understanding of the role of ambiguity in our lives and Holmes brings this research together for the first time, showing how we can use uncertainty to our advantage. Whether we're dealing with an unclear medical diagnosis or launching a risky new product, Nonsense promises to transform the way we conduct business, educate our children, and make decisions. In an increasingly unpredictable, complex world, it turns out that what matters most isn't IQ, willpower, or confidence in what we know. It's how we deal with what we don't understand"--

Book Description
Between Lord Byron and the book of Proverbs one can find much truth, but Harold Prince tried hard to invent his own in the 1950s. Rarely meeting an attractive woman that he did not want to conquer, he quickly changed from a fairly innocent Army recruit to a true Romeo on the Aberdeen Proving Grounds--and beyond. His passionate lifestyle eventually left him with a wife he did not love, a child that he did, and a special lover that waited for him to marry her and whisk her away. What would Harold do? What would the women in his life do? Here's a hint, from Proverbs 6: "Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?" A fitting question for the designer Hal Prince, who wowed his employer with his creative instinct and attracted just about every woman who eyed him. As you are drawn deep into “Fire in the Bosom” ponder the question of whether we can create our own truths, or if some truth will ring eternally true.
