Book Synopsis The Fever Chart: Three Short Visions of the Middle East by : Naomi Wallace
Download or read book The Fever Chart: Three Short Visions of the Middle East written by Naomi Wallace and published by Theatre Communications Group. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Naomi Wallace commits the unpardonable sin of being partisan, and, the darkness and harshness of her work notwithstanding, outrageously optimistic. She seems to believe the world can change. She certainly writes as if she intends to set it on fire.”—Tony Kushner Naomi Wallace, the rare writer who combines lyrical theatricality with political ferocity, turns her sight to the Middle East, with a new triptych for the stage. Vision One, A State of Innocence, is set—as the playwright describes, in “something like a small zoo, but more silent, empty, in Rafah, Palestine. Or a space that once dreamed it was a zoo”—and features a Palestinian woman, an Israeli architect, and an Israeli soldier. Vision Two, The Retreating World, is of an Iraqi bird keeper from Baghdad and his address before the International Pigeon Convention. Vision Three, Between this Breath and You, takes place after hours in the waiting room of a clinic in West Jerusalem, where a Palestinian father confronts the nurse’s aide, a young Israeli woman, about the meaning of the loss of his son and the impact it had on her life. These multifaceted works explore the urgency and complexity of the Middle East’s political landscape, through the voices and bodies of the people who inhabit it. Naomi Wallace is a poet and playwright from Kentucky, who currently resides in England. Her numerous awards include the MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship. Her plays, including One Flea Spare, In the Heart of America, and Trestle at Pope Lick Creek, are produced throughout the United States and around the world.

Down near the docks, many have taken ill, and the fatalities are mounting. Now they include Polly, the serving girl at the Cook Coffeehouse. But fourteen-year-old Mattie Cook doesn't get a moment to mourn the passing of her childhood playmate. New customers have overrun her family's coffee shop, located far from the mosquito-infested river, and Mattie's concerns of fever are all but overshadowed by dreams of growing her family's small business into a thriving enterprise. But when the fever begins to strike closer to home, Mattie's struggle to build a new life must give way to a new fight-the fight to stay alive.

Book excerpt: This book shows how to lead knowledge workers, manage knowledge work and build a hyper-productive knowledge work organization, by taming and managing the four flows of organizational performance (psychology, information, work and finance) to produce spectacular operational and financial throughput results. TameFlow is adaptable to nearly every industry, and can be applied to any knowledge work domain or organization that generates business value through knowledge. The TameFlow approach is explained within the context of knowledge work performed in a software development organization. The authors illustrate its application to Scrum and Kanban and demonstrate how constraints management (TOC) can improve them in powerful ways, bringing more predictability of behavior of the system as a whole, as well as to the individuals involved. Both Scrum and Kanban can be extended with features of the TOC, and help create a hyper-productive organization. --

Download or read book The Parallel Apartments written by Bill and published by McSweeney's. This book was released on 2014-02-11 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Justine Moppett is 34, pregnant, and fleeing an abusive relationship in New York to dig up an even more traumatic childhood in Austin. Waiting for her there is a cast of more than a dozen misfits — a hemophobic aspiring serial killer, a deranged soprano opera singer, a debt-addicted entrepreneur-cum-madam, a matchmaking hermaphrodite — each hurtling toward their own calamities, and, ultimately, toward each other. A Texan Gabriel García Márquez who writes tragicomic twists reminiscent of John Kennedy Toole, Bill Cotter produces some of the most visceral, absurd, and downright hilarious sentences to be found in fiction today. The Parallel Apartments is a bold leap forward for a writer whose protean talents, whose sheer exuberance for language and what a novel can do, marks him as one of the most exciting stylists in America.
Download or read book The Fever written by Sonia Shah and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2010-06-29 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This deep dive into humanity’s very long fight against malaria is “a vivid and compelling history with a message that’s entirely relevant today” (Elizabeth Kolbert, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Sixth Extinction). In a time when every emergent disease inspires waves of panic, why aren’t we doing more to eradicate one of our oldest foes? And how does a parasitic disease that we’ve known how to prevent for more than a century still infect 500 million people every year, killing nearly 1 million of them? Philanthropists from Laura Bush to Bono to Bill Gates have contributed to the effort to find a cure for malaria—but there’s much more that can be done to minimize its deadly effects. In The Fever, journalist Sonia Shah sets out to answer these questions, delivering a timely, inquisitive chronicle of the illness and its influence on human lives. Through the centuries, she finds, we’ve invested our hopes in a panoply of drugs and technologies, and invariably those hopes have been dashed. From the settling of the New World to the construction of the Panama Canal, through wars and the advances of the Industrial Revolution, Shah tracks malaria’s jagged ascent and the tragedies in its wake, revealing a parasite every bit as persistent as the insects that carry it. With distinguished prose and original reporting from Panama, Malawi, Cameroon, India, and elsewhere, The Fever captures the curiously fascinating, devastating history of this long-standing thorn in the side of humanity. “Fascinating . . . an absorbing account of human ingenuity and progress, and of their heartbreaking limitations.” —Publishers Weekly “A thrilling detective story, spanning centuries, about our erratic pursuit of a villain still at large . . . rich in colorful detail.” —Malcolm Molyneux, Professor, Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine

Download or read book Caring and Killing written by Thomas Foth and published by V&R unipress GmbH. This book was released on 2013 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under the Nazi regime in Germany a calculated killing of chronic "mentally ill" patients took place. Nurses executed this program in their everyday practice. However, suspicions have been raised that psychiatric patients were also assassinated before and after the Nazi regime, suggesting that the motives for these killings must be investigated within psychiatric practice itself. This book highlights the mechanisms and scientific discourses in place that allowed nurses to perceive patients as unworthy of life. This study analyzes patient records as "inscriptions" that actively intervene in interactions in institutions and that create a specific reality on their own accord. The question is not whether the reality represented within the documents is true, but rather how documents worked in institutions and what their effects were. It is shown how nurses were actively involved in the construction of patients' identities and how these "documentary identities" led to the death of thousands of humans.

Book Synopsis The Focus and Leverage Improvement Book by : Bob Sproull
Download or read book The Focus and Leverage Improvement Book written by Bob Sproull and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Companies all over the world try their best to improve their business by implementing efforts such as Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing, or a combination of the two methodologies. Logic would tell you that these two methods would be the right approach because you would have an improvement method that, through Lean, reduces waste and make value flow, while Six Sigma reduces and controls variation. If this were true, then why is it that many of these initiatives simply aren’t delivering quantifiable bottom-line results? After having studied many of these on-going improvement efforts, the author believes that these efforts are missing an important focusing mechanism. That is, most of these improvement efforts attempt to improve "everything" rather than finding that key part of the system that should be assessed and improved, the constraining factor, and then focusing the improvement efforts there and only there. The hallmark of this book is how to first locate this constraining factor and then determine the best way to exploit it to generate extreme profits, radically improve on-time delivery of products or services and increase market share by outperforming your competition at rates you never expected possible. How do we do this? By combining Lean and Six Sigma with the Theory of Constraints. This book demonstrates both the basics of improvement (i.e. results) with the "how to" (i.e. the methodology) in a very simple format that everyone within your organization will understand.
