Book Synopsis Gideon Smith and the Mechanical Girl by : David Barnett
Download or read book Gideon Smith and the Mechanical Girl written by David Barnett and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2013-09-10 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nineteenth century London is the center of a vast British Empire. Airships ply the skies and Queen Victoria presides over three-quarters of the known world—including the East Coast of America, following the failed revolution of 1775. London might as well be a world away from Sandsend, a tiny village on the Yorkshire coast. Gideon Smith dreams of the adventure promised him by the lurid tales of Captain Lucian Trigger, the Hero of the Empire, told in Gideon's favorite "penny dreadful." When Gideon's father is lost at sea in highly mysterious circumstances Gideon is convinced that supernatural forces are at work. Deciding only Captain Lucian Trigger himself can aid him, Gideon sets off for London. On the way he rescues the mysterious mechanical girl Maria from a tumbledown house of shadows and iniquities. Together they make for London, where Gideon finally meets Captain Trigger. But Trigger is little more than an aging fraud, providing cover for the covert activities of his lover, Dr. John Reed, a privateer and sometime agent of the British Crown. Looking for heroes but finding only frauds and crooks, it falls to Gideon to step up to the plate and attempt to save the day...but can a humble fisherman really become the true Hero of the Empire? David Barnett's Gideon Smith and the Mechanical Girl is a fantastical steampunk fable set against an alternate historical backdrop: the ultimate Victoriana/steampunk mash-up! At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Book Synopsis Brecht in Practice by : David Barnett
Download or read book Brecht in Practice written by David Barnett and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-11-20 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Barnett invites readers, students and theatre-makers to discover new ways of apprehending and making use of Brecht in this clear and accessible study of Brecht's theories and practices. The book analyses how Brecht's ideas can come alive in rehearsal and performance, and reveals just how carefully Brecht realized his vision of a politicized, interventionist theatre. What emerges is a nuanced understanding of Brecht's concepts, his work with actors and his approaches to directing. The reader is encouraged to engage with his method which sought to 'make theatre politically', in order to appreciate the innovations he introduced into his stagecraft. Barnett provides many examples of how Brecht's ideas can be staged, and the final chapter takes a closer look at two very different plays: one written by Brecht and one by a playwright with no acknowledged connection to Brecht. Through an interrogation of The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui and Patrick Marber's Closer, Barnett asks how a Brechtian approach can enliven and illuminate production.

Download or read book Angelglass written by David Barnett and published by Immanion Press/Magalithica Books. This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In present-day Prague, an amnesiac is discovered on the outskirts of the city and slowly absorbed into a household of expatriates preparing for a massive anti-globalisation protest. In the Bohemian capital at the close of the 16th century, a man with no memories is presented to the court of Rudolf II, melancholy ruler of the Habsburgs who presides over a chaotic court of seers, alchemists, charlatans and frauds. And in a shining city on the edge of forever, a being of a higher order is about to fall from grace. As these three stories entwine and mingle towards an explosive climax, truth and lies become harder to distinguish and the question is posed: How can you know yourself, when no-one around you is what they claim to be?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Barnett's Gideon Smith and the Brass Dragon is a fantastical steampunk fable set against an alternate historical backdrop: the ultimate Victoriana/steampunk mash-up! Nineteenth century London is the center of a vast British Empire, a teeming metropolis where steam-power is king and airships ply the skies, and where Queen Victoria presides over three quarters of the known world—including the east coast of America, following the failed revolution of 1775. Young Gideon Smith has seen things that no green lad of Her Majesty's dominion should ever experience. Through a series of incredible events Gideon has become the newest Hero of the Empire. But Gideon is a man with a mission, for the dreaded Texas pirate Louis Cockayne has stolen the mechanical clockwork girl Maria, along with a most fantastical weapon—a great brass dragon that was unearthed beneath ancient Egyptian soil. Maria is the only one who can pilot the beast, so Cockayne has taken girl and dragon off to points east. Gideon and his intrepid band take to the skies and travel to the American colonies hot on Cockayne's trail. Not only does Gideon want the machine back, he has fallen in love with Maria. Their journey will take them to the wilds of the lawless lands south of the American colonies – to free Texas, where the mad King of Steamtown rules with an iron fist (literally), where life is cheap and honor even cheaper. Does Gideon have what it takes to not only save the day but win the girl?

Download or read book Hire Your Buyer written by John Mill and published by Hire Your Buyer. This book was released on 2014-09-18 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Introduction: What Is Hiring Your Buyer? This book offers a solution to a substantial crisis facing business owners between the ages of 50 and 70. In the United States there are six million of these owners and in Canada there are 550,000. It is estimated that 55% of these businesses will transfer or disappear as a result of a calamity. The ensuing fiscal carnage will be a threat to the entire economy. Many small business owners operate in a blissful state, assuming they can always sell their businesses. But the average price of a business listed on the largest business sale website in the US is $155,000, and that's not going to cut it. It comes as quite a surprise to many owners that the same business that pays them $200,000 a year may have zero transfer value. Further, some estimates say that only 30% of businesses go to family members. That leaves millions of businesses in the danger zone. Aside from selling, business owners have only a few options. The most readily available option for those with a solid business foundation and the right team-building skills is to hire your buyer. That is, work with the people in your business; form a team; strategize; clarify your purpose, vision and values; and build more value in your business. Train your successor or team of successors and then watch your business flourish and share in the value created as you transfer it to the new ownership team. That's hiring your buyer. The actual buyer, or team of buyers, may be existing employees, one or more of your children, or you may have to go out and find them. If you are an owner you need to decide whether this option is for you and if it is, you need to take the active steps to make it happen. This book shows you how. The Second E-Myth Over 25 years ago, Michael E. Gerber wrote a bestselling business book called The E-Myth: Why Most Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It. The e-myth (that is, the entrepreneur myth) is the mistaken belief that most businesses are started by people with tangible business skills, when in fact most are started by "technicians" who know nothing about running a business. Hence, most fail. By contrast, consider that almost every business owner between 50 and 70 is one of the 20% who survived the cut. And most are successful entrepreneurs supporting a decent lifestyle. There are millions of owners who have spent decades building a solid business foundation. This is significant; it means something. Creating a solid business foundation is the most difficult stage of a business. The site has been excavated, the forms put in, the concrete poured and set. But then what happens? For most of these owners, the answer is nothing - they stop building the business at the foundation stage. Why? Because the business satisfies their lifestyle needs. But there is a second e-myth, one that Gerber did not talk about. Most entrepreneurs believe this second myth: they believe they are creating value in their business. This is a myth. A business is something separate from the owner; a business is something that has value and can be sold. What most entrepreneurs have created is a lucrative, interesting job for themselves, but not a business with significant value that they can sell. These entrepreneurs are lifestyle business owners. Their businesses are designed to be the foundation of a decent lifestyle, to generate a good salary and to serve as a vehicle for freedom and expression. The problem is that there is no way that selling that business will support a decent lifestyle in retirement. These businesses are not professionally managed - the entrepreneur covers almost all management functions and makes all the decisions. And these decisions are made for the convenience and comfort of the owner, not for the purpose of maximizing the value of the business. This book sets out a well defined path for creating a team and building value on top of your solid business foundation so that everyone can win.

Book Synopsis Brecht Collected Plays: 5 by : Bertolt Brecht
Download or read book Brecht Collected Plays: 5 written by Bertolt Brecht and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2015-03-09 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published by Methuen Drama, the collected dramatic works of Bertolt Brecht are presented in the most comprehensive and authoritative editions of Brecht's plays in the English language. The fifth volume in the Brecht Collected Plays series brings together two of Brecht's best-known and most frequently performed and studied plays: Life of Galileo and Mother Courage and Her Children. Galileo, which examines the conflict between free inquiry and official ideology, contains one of Brecht's most human and complex central characters. Temporarily silenced by the Inquisition's threat of torture, and forced to abjure his theories publicly, Galileo continues to work in private, eventually smuggling his work out of the country. As an examination of the problems that face not only the scientist but also the whole spirit of free inquiry when brought into conflict with the requirements of government or official ideology, Life of Galileo has few equals. Mother Courage is usually seen as Brecht's greatest work. Remaining a powerful indictment of war and social injustice, it is an epic drama set in the seventeenth century during the Thirty Years' War. The plot follows the resilient Mother Courage who survives by running a commissary business that profits from all sides. As the war claims all of her children in turn, the play poignantly demonstrates that no one can profit from the war without being subject to its terrible cost also. The translations are ideal for both study and performance. The volume is accompanied by a full introduction and notes by the series editor John Willett and includes Brecht's own notes and relevant texts as well as all the important textual variants.
