Sinopsis

"Comedy History" delves into the multifaceted world of humor, tracing its evolution from ancient jesters to modern internet memes. The book highlights how comedic forms have not only entertained but also mirrored and shaped societal values throughout history. Intriguingly, early societies often used humor to navigate complex social hierarchies, while Shakespearean comedy cleverly reflected the social and political climate of Elizabethan England. The book argues that comedy serves as a cultural barometer, registering societal shifts and tensions. Beginning with ancient roots, it progresses through Shakespearean wit, modern stand-up, and digital memes, showcasing how each era's humor reflects its unique social dynamics. By examining various comedic forms, from social satire to physical comedy, the book provides a deeper understanding of human connection and cultural evolution, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in performing arts, history, or the pervasive power of humor.

    Future Peace - Technology...

    Today's militaries are increasingly reliant on highly networked autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, and advanced weapons that were previously the domain of science fiction writers. In a world where these complex technologies clash with escalating international tensions, what can we do to decrease the chances of war? In Future Peace, Robert H. Latiff questions our overreliance on technology and examines the pressure-cooker scenario created by the growing animosity between the United States and its adversaries, our globally deployed and thinly stretched military, the capacity for advanced technology to catalyze violence, and the American public's lack of familiarity with these topics. 
     
     
     
    Future Peace describes the many provocations to violence and how technologies are abetting those urges, and it explores what can be done to mitigate not only dangerous human behaviors but also dangerous technical behaviors. Latiff concludes that peace is possible but will require intense, cooperative efforts on the part of technologists, military leaders, diplomats, politicians, and citizens. This compelling and timely book will captivate general listeners, students, and scholars of global affairs, international security, arms control, and military ethics.

    The Night House - Folklore Fairy...

    Fairy tales are more than mere bedtime stories; they are living, breathing repositories of ancient wisdom and magick.In The Night House, bestselling author and word-witch Danielle Dulsky peels back the layers of these timeless narratives to reveal their potent role as guides for navigating today's world. Historically kept and passed on by women, fairy tales are distinguishable from other types of folk tales by their supernatural elements, and because of this, they were often dismissed as trivial fantasies for women and children. Danielle illuminates how this marginalization kept these stories safe from the witch-hunter's noose and allowed women to safely store and transmit their sacred age-old wisdom for new generations to uncover and explore. Her fresh and relevant commentary will support your kinship with the Earth, ancestors, and your own living myth. The Night House shows how a single fairy tale is actually a treasure box of coded knowledge and magickal practice that has remained largely intact, preserved under the floorboards of the Yaga's hut for us to find.

    A Broadway Stage Manager's pandemic memoir! 
    March 12, 2020 
    Last night, after weeks of downplaying and ridiculing the virus, we were finally told by our President, that it is, in fact, serious… 
    And so, it began. Broadway shut down. Instead of sitting in a darkened theatre every night watching Jersey Boys, Richard Hester found himself sitting on his sofa glued to the news. Hold, Please chronicles what came next from the particular point of view of a career Broadway stage manager living in Manhattan. Part journal, part blog, these essays attempted to make sense of the crisis and what it was doing to us. 
    What follows is a journey through one of the most fascinating periods in both our cultural and our personal histories. Written with humor and compassion, Hold, Please provides a unique perspective on this time and delivers the most important lesson of all - Hope. 
    “I’ve watched Richard create order out of chaos for years, so it comes as no surprise when he was able to do it again with these beautiful posts. Together they create a powerful reminder of where we’ve been as well as a thoughtful and compassionate guide for moving ahead.” - Bernadette Peters 
    “I am so grateful that Richard wrote all of this down so that I don’t have to remember it myself.” - Patti LuPone  
    “(Hester) describes such experiences in a warm, conversational tone in a book in which his lyrical writing about the natural world adds dimension to humorous stories about working—and not working—from home....Hester interweaves descriptions of living through Covid-19 with stories of his colorful theatrical career…” - Kirkus Reviews
