This is a look at carnival life which is much different than the American Ten-In-One of the 1930-40's; but the outcome is the same. The Geek is the lowest form of carnival life. What happens when a drunk descends to the lowest of lows? Of interest to anyone interested in carnivals and the human condition

Tanner has yet again a stunning selection of Georgia's beautiful places. Each year's calendar is a delight.

This book is a part of the Linda Craig series. It is similar to the Nancy Drew Series but has a Western ranch-style action, mystery and horses. Sixteen-year-old Linda has a Palomino filly she's named Chica d'Oro and they have plenty of adventures and fun. An excellent read for the horse lover.

This book covers five arguments for the existence of God:
-The Cosmological Argument
-The Moral Argument
-The Argument from the Evidence of the Bible
-The Argument from Personal Experience
and possibly -The Argument from Design [but I'm not sure, it's a while since I read it]

These are prefaced by a brief introduction in which Craig argues, quite sensibly, that there is no such thing as 100% proof- his aim through the book is merely to show that there is enough evidence to reasonably believe that God is there.
Up to date and with a good list for further reading, it surprised me how clear, detailed and focused this small booklet is. You can read it in an hour, and understand not only the basics of the arguments covered, but also brief answers to common objections.
One friend complained that he wasn't clear on some points: for example, he passes over Stephen Hawking's analysis of the origin of the universe with a brief sentence. I can only say to that that with the size of the booklet, there would be no point in Craig even attempting to give a comprehensive analysis of such a detailed, complex topic! For anyone reading this booklet and wanting more detailed analyses, I would recommend visiting Craig's website.

Highly recommended for the believer and the skeptic. If you are very familiar with modern apologetics and religious philosophy, though, it is probably not so useful.

This is a wonderful book, containing four beautiful and soul-touching stories. But now it's out of print! I had lent the book to a friend, who mislaid it -- but thankfully he found it, and returned it to me today! The stories are classic and universal, and I am deeply disappointed with Eerdmans for discontinuing this title.

Professor Simpson's scholarship is an admirable feat. He provides an extensive biography of Henry A. Wise, and the politics of the union, with the purpose of asserting the supremacy of individual agency. Simpson's treatment of the John Brown raid, and the over laying psychology behind it, is of particular interest. The work's oratory and articulation is of the highest quality.

The "Hamlet" that Edward Gordon Craig directed in tandem with Konstantin Stanislavsky at the Moscow Art Theatre has taken on mythic status in theatre studies in the West.
In this fascinating study, Laurence Senelick shows what went into the making of this event. The author makes extensive use of various previously untapped Russian sources and reveals the conflicts, both personal and artistic, underlying the mixed succes of this epoch-making production. The goings-on behind the scenes turn out to be at least as dramatic as the action on stage! Especially the story of Craig's assistant and interpreter Suler(zhitsky) is very poinant. The book provides a very detailed description of the eventual production with the famous screens and describes its impact.
In his "Hamlet", Gordon Craig aimed to create a highly personal, almost hermetic symbolist drama. Stanislavski directed the actors on the basis of what he believed Craig's wishes to be -- and this at a time when he was still feeling his way towards his "method", which was much more naturalistic. Perhaps their approaches could never be reconciled, but at least they made this valiant attempt...
Subsequently, both men proved to be seminal forces in 20th century theatre: Craig became the prophet of the director as the pivotal figure in stage production, three-dimensional and abstract set design, and proper stage lighting (instead of shadows painted on canvas backdrops). He also helped to get theatre history off the ground as a respectable occupation. Stanislavsky needs no introduction, of course.
This study is essential reading for anyone interested in the grass roots of 20th century theatre. Moreover, this is no dessicated academic study. In places, it's as entertaining as a Robertson Davies novel.

TO NOW THE INFORMATION I NEED TO TELL YOU HOW IL WILL BE GRATFUL IF YOU TELL ME THE PULISHING DATE OF THE LAST COPY YOU PRINTED

It's the first book I've seen that truly captures the spirit of the Canyon. The photography is superb; the text is readable and informative.

As a young actor, it is very hard to find monologues that do not insult my intelligence or acting ability. So many books have shallow monologues that cannot really show off a young actors strong points. I love this book because every page has a challenging and effective performance piece. As a student or young actor, this book is a must have! The pieces come some well known plays, are challenging, and are open to iterpretation to many different styles. The cuttings are great (the best I've found actually). You'll love this book. It's wonderful.
