Book excerpt: Published as a programme text for the world premiere at the Finborough Theatre in October 2008, Cradle Me is a tender, powerful play about the aftermath of a family tragedy. Following an unspeakable yet avoidable tragedy, a family finds themselves torn apart by grief and turning for comfort to Daniel, the troubled teenage boy who lives next door. Having experienced their tragedy first hand, Daniel shares in their grief in a way that creates an individual bond with each member of the family. Louise is the prepubescent daughter whose burgeoning sexuality makes Daniel an obvious target for her affections. Graham is the grieving father who recognises Daniel as knowing his dead son in a way that he never could and now never will. However, it is Marion, the dead boy's mother, who expresses her grief through Daniel in a way that will ultimately lead both he and her family on a path that will irrevocably alter the course of their lives forever.

Book excerpt: Being a teacher means weekends. It means thirteen weeks holiday. It means a secure job in uncertain times. But Zoe doesn't want to have to rescue her students. She doesn't want to be called a slag. She doesn't want to sleep with the Head of Science. And she doesn't want to teach a group of kids how to do life. Because that's something Zoe's not sure she knows how to do herself. Examining what happens when a young teacher goes off the rails in a failing school, The Knowledge by John Donnelly premiered at the Bush Theatre, London, in January 2011.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When most people think of hazardous waste trading, they think of egregious dumping by U.S. and European firms on poor countries in Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean. But over 80 percent of the waste trade takes place between industrialized nations and is legal by domestic and international standards. In Waste Trading among Rich Nations, Kate O'Neill asks why some industrialized nations voluntarily import such wastes in the absence of pressing economic need. She focuses on Britain as an importer and Germany as an exporter and also looks at France, Australia, and Japan. According to O'Neill, most important in determining whether an industrialized democracy imports waste are two aspects of its regulatory system. The first is the structure of the regulatory process—how powers and responsibilities are allocated among different agencies and levels of government—and the structure of the hazardous waste disposal industry. The second is what O'Neill calls the "style" of environmental regulation, in particular access to the policy process and mode of implementation. Hazardous waste management is in crisis in most industrialized countries and is becoming increasingly controversial in international negotiations. O'Neill not only examines waste trading empirically but also develops a theoretical model of comparative regulation that can be used to establish links between domestic and international environmental politics.

Book excerpt: Have you ever had the cafe dream? Would you like to leave your stressful career behind and be your own boss? Do you want to spend your days playing host, enjoying endless cups of coffee, and meeting new people, just like one big, happy coffee-loving family? A surprising number of people, from all walks of life, aspire to own a cafe and live the dream. But what happens when they wake up and discover the reality? In Newbies in the Cafe, Dr Judy Gregory, an academic-turned-cafe owner, examines the pros and cons of cafe ownership in Australia and shares the lessons she learned from her own experience. With 11 case studies from cafe newbies, and facts regarding business plans, financial targets, and promotional ideas, this book offers comprehensive, practical advice for anyone considering starting or buying a cafe. Judy writes with positivity, despite the often challenging aspects of owning a cafe. Her balanced and honest approach allows readers to see all aspects of such a venture so they may tackle their own dream with their eyes wide open. About the author Dr Judy Gregory is a writer, editor, researcher, and former cafe dreamer. Newbies in the Cafe is the book she wishes she had read before embarking on her cafe dream - The Letter Lounge Cafe & Gifts. Praise for Newbies in the Cafe ‘… a must for all to read BEFORE they enter the world of cafe ownership so that they will move into it with their eyes wide open.’ Phillip Di Bella, Di Bella Group ‘Reading this book is like having brutally honest conversations with 11 cafe owners. … Each story is so engaging; you feel you’re on the journey already – learning what working in a cafe is really like, empowered to make informed decisions about your own cafe.’ Christine Cottrell, Author of the Barista Bible and Trending Cafes Brisbane & Beyond ‘One of the greatest factors that affects success in this industry is support. This book not only provides this from examples of people in the industry today, but is extremely easy to digest, gives professional insight and guidance – for the newcomer right through to the elite.’ Joshua Clifton, Author of The Hospitality Survival Guide ‘Finally, a “warts and all” work to counter the fable that’s sold as … The Cafe Dream.’ Simon O’Brien, Kickstart Coffee Shop

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dorothy and Leonard Elmhirst were the founders of Dartington - she the daughter of an American millionaire who was once Secretary to the US Navy; he the son of a Yorkshire parson and secretary to Rabindranath Tagore in Bengal before he married Dorothy. They were the twentieth century’s most substantial private patrons of architecture in England as well as of the arts and education. Dartington School was one of the most famous experimental schools in the world. Bertrand Russell sent his children there, as did Aldous Huxley and the Freuds. Dartington College of Arts and its associated Summer School of Music were equally famous in the world of the arts. Bernard Leach taught pottery, Mark Tobey painting, and Imogen Holst music. The Amadeus Quartet was formed there. Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears were frequent performers. In a setting of great beauty, school and college belonged to a general experiment in rural reconstruction. Dartington Glass was made in the Devonshire countryside and exported world-wide. So were Dartington Textiles, Dartington Furniture and Dartington Pottery. This book, originally published in 1982 (and reissued in 1996), describes how a unique combination of education, arts, industry and agriculture came to be put together. The result was one of the hardiest Utopian communities of modern times. It eventually overcame the strong local opposition to such a daring undertaking. The author finds the origins of modern Dartington in the founders’ hopes that mankind would be liberated through education; that a new flowering of the arts would transform a society impoverished by industrialisation and secularisation; and that a society seeking to draw together town and country would combine the best of both worlds. This book is an extraordinary memoir of two people and the place they made.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creators, Innovators, and Theatremakers: Defy the Smallness of the Stage With the Greatness of Your Daring Wong’s first book upended tragic literary theory by arguing that risk is the dramatic fulcrum of the action. It also launched an international playwriting competition (risktheatre.com). His second book expands on how chance directs the action, both on and off the stage. Inside you will find three risk theatre tragedies by acclaimed playwrights: In Bloom (Gabriel Jason Dean), The Value (Nicholas Dunn), and Children of Combs and Watch Chains (Emily McClain). From the poppy fields of Afghanistan to the motel rooms and doctors’ offices lining interstate expressways, these plays—by simulating risk—will show you how theatre is a dress rehearsal for life. Six risk theatre essays round off this volume. In a dazzling display from Aeschylus to Shakespeare, Thomas Hardy, and Arthur Miller, Wong reinterprets theatre through chance and probability theory. After risk theatre, you will never look at literature in the same way. Tomorrow, Whoever Says Drama will Say Risk

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of course, Harvard is one of the most prestigious educational institutions in the world. Its imposing faculty has won far more Nobel Prizes than any other university, now approaching 170. However, a small minority of the people associated with Harvard have taken a wrong turn in life. A few of them have become felons, major pranksters, research fabricators, or powerful advocates of obnoxious ideas. This groundbreaking book takes a look at them. Many of the people described in it are like their more upright counterparts; they truly excel in their endeavors. A Harvard College dropout murdered the most renowned architect of his time on top of one of his most famous buildings in front of three hundred people. Another college dropout sold a deadly energy drink throughout America. A further college dropout planned the largest armed robbery up to that time. A special two-year Harvard student planned the attack on Pearl Harbor, which led to America's participation in World War II. One graduate of the college had the perhaps unique distinction of breaking both the Clayton and the Sherman antitrust acts. A second graduate of the college embezzled from the New York Stock Exchange while he was its president; a third terrorized the nation for nearly twenty years with his sixteen, sometimes deadly, mail bomb attacks; a fourth appeared to give the Soviets the greatest detailed information about the atomic bomb followed by descriptions of the hydrogen bomb; a fifth inadvertently invented the first computer worm; and a sixth provoked a national crisis in the Catholic Church. Two men from the college led separate campaigns to overthrow the Puerto Rican government. In one, four US congressmen were shot. You will see that disproportionate numbers of the college scoundrels majored in economics or played football. A law school dropout fixed basketball games. A second made the largest net gain ever recorded from inside information about one stock. A graduate of the law school tear-gassed the New York Stock Exchange and another created false paperwork for seven thousand immigrants. A pedophile who graduated from the medical school brought fifty-six children to the United States. A business school dropout seems to be the richest man in the world ever to go to prison twice. A graduate of the business school triggered the largest American bankruptcy at the time; another created the greatest bank fraud. A PhD graduate initiated ransomware. A medical school resident committed perhaps America's most gruesome murder of a single person. One of the graduates of the Kennedy School of Government oversaw genocide in his own country. A Radcliffe graduate and her family took bribes totaling $1.5 billion or more.

Book excerpt: The Whisky Taster is a contemporary, subtle and witty exploration of feeling and perception in the modern world of advertising. Moving from monochrome to technicolour, James Graham's latest play is about seeing things too clearly in a city that never stands still. Barney and Nicola are advertising wonder kids. They win accounts with wit, charm and a secret weapon: Barney's ability to feel, smell and taste colours, and to translate these sensations into words. Lately Barney has been finding things far too colourful and wishes his full throttle London life was more black and white, but Nicola is hell bent on winning accounts at all costs. When the two hire an old Scottish Whisky Taster to help them with a new campaign, the enigmatic and mysterious figure slows the Londoners to a stop with his strange wisdom, just as the deadline looms. This play explores perception, sensitivity and feeling through the neurological condition synesthesia. Whilst the characters thrive on the surface with witty banter and accomplished advertising pitches, their real lives threaten to intrude with a deeper, darker vein of seriousness and potential despair. When every sensation can be turned into a marketable, profitable brand, they start to lose sight of the real value of experience.

Book excerpt: For the "Retired Blues Crew", a small group of retired LAPD police officers that meet once a month to share old war stories and enjoy each other's company, accepting retirement was a hard pill to swallow. Once considered savvy street warriors who risked life and limb protecting the good citizens of Los Angeles, they were now the forgotten hero's whose past heroic deeds were now only remembrances visited through their colorful story telling during their once a month get-togethers. Like all things in life, they were all expendable and the guys in the "Retired Blues Crew" had been replaced by a new generation of street warriors. To the old dogs who were put out to pasture, the new centurions were taking their places with new technology and a confidence that bordered on disrespect for those who had paved the way before them. The argument that the old days of crushing crime without the benefit of all the new-fangled gadgets was more rewarding than the technology of the future was a misconception of the new breed that were now in charge of protecting the citizens of Los Angeles. For the select group of old story tellers, they needed to add one more chapter in their lives, something for the street warriors of the present to remember them by when their time finally came and they were reduced to second class citizens too old to do the job anymore. This small tight knit group of old street warriors had enough and it was time to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that they weren't too old to out-smart and out-wit the high tech rouges who have now taken their places. Proving that computers and gadgets could never replace the wisdom and experience that the old dogs were blessed with wouldn't be an easy task, but they were determined to challenge the new breed and beat them at their own game. They knew whatever it was they were going to do couldn't replicate anything like the violent movies you see were people die, get hurt or cars get wrecked and buildings are blown up, after all they were cops or at least they were once. That being said, the old dogs had to pull off the perfect caper and they had to do it without claiming any of the bragging rights they so much yearned for. It would have to be for no other reason than "For Greater Glory." In that one of their own had been diagnosed with cancer with less than six months to live, they only had a small window of opportunity to get it done. Since he was the architect behind the perfect crime referred to as "Operation Blue Eclipse," their success would depend on how well the plan was executed with no room for error. If all went as planned and after all was said and done, the Retired Blues Crew would truly know who the best of the best was.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spirits in the Bush surveys the art of Gippsland, from the colonial to the contemporary. This expansive, original and illuminating compendium leads readers on a journey through artistic and provincial history, interweaving the lives of residents and visitors. Collectively, it presents a vivid account of the influence of place on the cultural imagination. A fascinating cast of characters includes some of Australia’s best-known and most-loved artists, including Eugène von Guérard, Jessie Traill, Arthur Streeton, Clarice Beckett, Sidney Nolan, Arthur Boyd, Fred Williams, and Jeffrey Smart. Readers will discover also a host of new names destined for recognition. Spirits in the Bush reveals how artists have grappled with a region that is in equal measures beautiful and brutal, and which has provided the stage for many of the key battles in Australian art history. Bound by geographical camaraderie, and with the spectre of Gippsland’s past as an unwavering presence, the stories of their art unfold in a unique dialogue. This publication was made possible through the generous support of the Gordon Darling Foundation.
