Download or read book Shakespeare written by Stanley Wells and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the entry of Shakespeare's birth in the Stratford church register to a Norwegian production of Macbeth in which the hero was represented by a tomato, this enthralling and splendidly illustrated book tells the story of Shakespeare's life, his writings, and his afterlife. Drawing on a lifetime's experience of studying, teaching, editing, and writing about Shakespeare, Stanley Wells combines scholarly authority with authorial flair in a book that will appeal equally to the specialist and the untutored enthusiast. Chapters on Shakespeare's life in Stratford and in London offer a fresh view of the development of the writer's career and personality. At the core of the book lies a magisterial study of the writings themselves--how Shakespeare set about writing a play, his relationships with the company of actors with whom he worked, his developing mastery of the literary and rhetorical skills that he learned at the Stratford grammar school, the essentially theatrical quality of the structure and language of his plays. Subsequent chapters trace the fluctuating fortunes of his reputation and influence. Here are accounts of adaptations, productions, and individual performances in England and, increasingly, overseas; of great occasions such as the Garrick Jubilee and the tercentenary celebrations of 1864; of the spread of Shakespeare's reputation in France and Germany, Russia and America, and, more recently, the Far East; of Shakespearian discoveries and forgeries; of critical reactions, favorable and otherwise, and of scholarly activity; of paintings, music, films and other works of art inspired by the plays; of the plays' use in education and the political arena, and of the pleasure and intellectual stimulus that they have given to an increasingly international public. Shakespeare, said Ben Jonson, was not of an age but for all time. This is a book about him for our time.

Book Synopsis Phantom Architecture by : Philip Wilkinson
Download or read book Phantom Architecture written by Philip Wilkinson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-11-02 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A skyscraper one mile high, a dome covering most of downtown Manhattan, a triumphal arch in the form of an elephant: some of the most exciting buildings in the history of architecture are the ones that never got built. These are the projects in which architects took materials to the limits, explored challenging new ideas, defied conventions, and pointed the way towards the future. Some of them are architectural masterpieces, some simply delightful flights of fancy. It was not usually poor design that stymied them – politics, inadequate funding, or a client who chose a ‘safe’ option rather than a daring vision were all things that could stop a project leaving the drawing board. These unbuilt buildings include the grand projects that acted as architectural calling cards, experimental designs that stretch technology, visions for the future of the city, and articles of architectural faith. Structures likeBuckminster Fuller’s dome over New York or Frank Lloyd Wright’s mile-high tower can seem impossibly daring. But they also point to buildings that came decades later, to the Eden Project and the Shard. Some of those unbuilt wonders are buildings of great beauty and individual form like Etienne-Louis Boullée’s enormous spherical monument to Isaac Newton; some, such as the city plans of Le Corbusier, seem to want to teach us how to live; some, like El Lissitsky’s ‘horizontal skyscrapers’ and Gaudí’s curvaceous New York hotel, turn architectural convention upside-down; some, such as Archigram’s Walking City and Plug-in City, are bizarre and inspiring by turns. All are captured in this magnificently illustrated book.

Download or read book Kunene and the King written by John Kani and published by Jonathan Ball Publishers. This book was released on 2021-04-09 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'What lies beneath the apparent simplicity of Kunene and the King is a lot of moral, political and existential depth. This is testimony to the brilliance of John Kani.' – EUSEBIUS McKAISER South Africa, 2019. Twenty-five years since the first post-apartheid democratic elections. Jack Morris is a celebrated classical actor who has just been given a career-defining role and a life-changing diagnosis. Lunga Kunene is a retired senior male nurse from Soweto now working for private patients. Besides their age, they appear not to have much in common. But a shared passion for Shakespeare soon ignites a 'rich, raw and shattering head-to-head' (The Times) as the duet from contrasting walks of life unpack the racial, political and social complexities of modern South Africa. Kunene and the King is a vital play that combines the magnificence of classic Shakespearean comedy, tragedy and history to reflect on a new yet deeply wounded society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you think you know everything about cannabis? Take this invitation to dive through time, where you’ll learn the history of cannabis from its origin. This story introduces us on a mysterious and millennial journey in man's life from its beginning, who in his fight against diseases and death has made use of the beneficial effects of the plants, among which, without fail, the cannabis plant. In addition, due to its versatility, this plant has been used in industrial processes such as the elaboration of textile fibers, paper and even ropes. The first botanical classification of the plant was made in 1753, by the Swedish botanist Carl Von Linneo, who classified and described the plant as “Cannabis Sativa L”. Since then, research has not stopped; including nowadays great advances in the heath’s area, with novel and controlled clinical trials, presentations and new applications for the relief of some pathologies or associated symptoms, where traditional drugs have failed. Evidence of that is in 1964, Raphael Mechoulam, in the Weizmann Institute of Sciences in Israel, found that Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol or THC is the main psychoactive compound present in cannabis, and since then, a great amount of information about the benefits of the identified molecules of this plant has been obtained. Cannabis is currently submitted in an extensive regulation process that includes taking decisions about the risk/benefit balance, many countries have considered cannabis as a possible treatment for fighting and/or stopping certain pathological mechanisms of diseases and/or as a contributor in improving the efficiency and safety of other drugs. In this audiobook, you will learn about the history of cannabis, evolution of medical cannabis in the middle and contemporary ages, scientific and medical evidence of medical cannabis, the discovery of endocannabinoid system, its receptor and all the homeostatic-physiological functions, therapeutic uses, the beginning of legalization and legal regulation according to the country. If you’re interested in learning more about the extraordinary history of medical cannabis, we invite you to enjoy this audiobook that Pharmacology University brings to you.
