Sinopse

Alfred Thayer Mahan's seminal work, "The Influence of Sea Power upon the French Revolution and Empire," intricately explores the pivotal role of naval power in shaping the political landscape of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Through rigorous historical analysis and persuasive argumentation, Mahan elucidates how maritime supremacy influenced the outcomes of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, setting the stage for modern warfare and international relations. His scholarly approach is marked by a blend of meticulous research and an engaging narrative style, making complex geopolitical concepts accessible to a wide audience. Born in 1840, Mahan was a naval officer and historian whose career granted him valuable insights into military strategy and maritime affairs. His experiences during the height of the age of sail allowed him to appreciate the significance of naval dominance, which he believed was crucial for national prosperity and security. This profound understanding motivated Mahan to investigate the historical precedents of sea power, ultimately leading to his influential theories that would affect naval strategy across the globe. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in military history, naval strategy, and the interplay between sea power and statecraft. Mahan's arguments remain vital to comprehending contemporary geopolitical dynamics, as they underscore the enduring importance of naval capabilities in achieving national objectives.

    'Theatre is the greatest of collaborative art forms, and Shakespeare its greatest exponent: he used the form better than anyone else ever has to speak truth about the world.'
    In Exploring Shakespeare, acclaimed theatre director Bill Alexander takes us inside the rehearsal room to reveal – in unprecedented and captivating detail – exactly what happens there. He examines the key relationship between the actors and the director, how they work together to bring Shakespeare's vision to life, and how choices are made that will shape every aspect of the play in production.
    Full of acute observations and perceptions drawn from a long and brilliant career, the book covers the essential aspects of any Shakespeare production, from understanding the world of the play, to preparing and cutting the text, deciding on costumes and set design, handling soliloquies, and considering character and backstory.
    There are detailed studies of eight plays spanning the full length and breadth of the Shakespearean canon, from Titus Andronicus and The Shrew to The Tempest, via Othello, Hamlet, Lear, The Merchant of Venice and Twelfth Night. Alexander also provides first-hand case studies of three of his own productions, including his famous Richard III starring Antony Sher.
    Personal, forthright, and full of pragmatic advice, Exploring Shakespeare is a masterclass for directors and actors, and a fascinating insight for anyone interested in Shakespeare.
    Bill Alexander was an Associate Director of the Royal Shakespeare Company, and then Artistic Director of Birmingham Rep. His landmark productions include Richard III and The Merry Wives of Windsor (both Olivier Award-winners), The Merchant of Venice, The Taming of the Shrew, Titus Andronicus and King Lear with Corin Redgrave.
    'Bill Alexander is a brilliant director, whose work has powerfully shaped my understanding of Shakespeare's plays, Richard III most of all' James Shapiro, author of 1599: A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare

  • Anthony Trollope - A Very Short Introduction - cover

    Anthony Trollope - A Very Short...

    Anthony Trollope is among the best-loved novelists in the English language. His strongly drawn characters and skillful plots are compelling, while his moral judgements are often subtly challenging. He is an entertainer, but his power to make his readers think, and to feel, is unrivalled. 
     
     
     
    This Very Short Introduction will place Trollope's work in the context of his life and times, drawing on recent scholarship to illuminate his central interests and literary strategies. The major series of novels (the six novels located in the fictional Barsetshire, and the six Palliser novels) are explored alongside the novels set in Ireland, his travel writing, and his less well-known fiction. 
     
     
     
    Trollope's work is energized by the complexities of the Victorian Britain, with its political tensions, its troubled views of the relation between men and women, its expanding place in the wider world, and its growing discomfort with the contradictions created by a corrosive preoccupation with wealth and display. But Trollope's writing is of more than historical interest. His insight into the motives of human behavior and of the conflict between the need for reform and the wish to defend what might be destroyed by the pressure for change, feels surprisingly modern. Birch shows how his writing has retained its vivid appeal to new generations of readers.

    When do you become an adult? What does it mean to grow up? And what are the experiences that propel us forward ? or keep us stuck? 
     
    As we get older, we pass many milestones, but for some of us it can feel as if adulthood is always just out of reach. 
     
    Journalist and psychotherapist-in-training Moya Sarner goes on a journey into what growing up really involves, and how we do it again and again throughout our lives. She draws on case studies, as well as her training, and theories of child psychology, psychoanalysis, neuroscience, and more, to explore what it means to be a ‘grown up’ and how we can meet the challenges and opportunities of every stage of our lives.

    Buddhism in its course of development has completed a form which distinguishes itself from its so-called primitive or original type—so greatly, indeed, that we are justified in emphasizing its historical division into two schools, Hinayana and Mahayana, or the Lesser Vehicle and the Greater vehicle of salvation. As a matter of fact, the Mahayana, with all its varied formulae, is no more than a developed form of Buddhism and traces back its final authority to its Indian founder, the great Buddha Sakyamuni.
