Synopsis

"Greek Civic Theatre" explores the central role of theatre in ancient Greece, revealing it as far more than mere entertainment. The book argues that theatrical productions were integral to both civic life and religious practice, shaping Athenian identity and transmitting societal values. 

 
The study highlights the architectural ingenuity of Greek theatres, often built into hillsides to accommodate vast audiences, underscoring the importance of communal gatherings. Similarly, it examines the choregoi system, where wealthy citizens sponsored productions, illustrating the civic responsibility associated with theatrical patronage. 

 
The book details how theatre served as a vital institution for shaping Athenian identity and transmitting societal values. Beginning with the historical and social context of ancient Greece, the book progresses through the design of theatres, the economics of production, and the conventions of Greek drama, including the use of masks and the chorus. 

 
By exploring these interwoven elements, the book emphasizes the intersection of art, religion, and politics in the ancient world, and how understanding Greek drama can provide insights into contemporary society.

    In Hope and Healing, former Morehouse College president John Silvanus Wilson, Jr. looks to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to examine what it takes not only to survive as a relevant institution of higher education, but to thrive. Wilson draws on pivotal moments in the timelines of HBCUs and the work of past visionaries to yield important perspectives on the future of higher education and the role of HBCUs within it. 
     
     
      
    Wilson documents the strengths of HBCUs, which endure even as factors such as school desegregation, enrollment shifts, and fundraising shortages have deeply affected their operation. These schools have long optimized institutional character, and he encourages their leaders to similarly optimize institutional capital. Wilson emphasizes the indispensable role of educational finance in keeping schools viable and vital to education, discussing funding approaches. Wilson's asset-based framework reveals pathways for all higher education institutions to invest in their long-term futures. 
     
     
      
    Suffused with optimism, the book credits HBCUs as exemplars that consistently demonstrate how all colleges and universities can marshal their institutional resources to shape better citizens, foster civic literacy, and work toward a better tomorrow.

    Ask people to describe anxiety and they'll start with the familiar symptoms: racing heart, sweaty palms, difficulty breathing. Anxiety, they might add, is "freaking out," a panic attack, or a frightening loss of control. But anxiety isn't always what we think it is, especially now. Anxiety has become the new normal, constant and simmering, disguising itself in patterns and responses we don't even recognize as anxiety. These patterns include: 
     
     
     
    ● Ruminating and worrying (and mistaking it for problem solving) 
     
      
     
    ● Going global, or seeing the world through an overwhelming, all-or-nothing lens 
     
     
     
    ● Isolating and disconnecting, all too common in our "new normal" 
     
     
     
    ● Creating chaos and "busy-ness" 
     
     
     
    The Anxiety Audit is a guide for us all: with no overly scientific or diagnostic language—just real talk and time-tested tactics from a respected therapist—it is a relatable and practical guide to untangling yourself from the grips of worry and fear. 
     
     
     
    Using stories, real-world examples, and helpful dialogues to retrain the way you think and react, trusted anxiety expert Lynn Lyons helps you recognize the sneaky ways these anxious patterns and cycles of worry take hold in your life.

    Twelve authors shed new light on the true history and enduring mythology of seventeenth– and eighteenth–century pirates in this anthology of scholarly essays. 
     
     
      
    The twelve entries in The Golden Age of Piracy discuss why pirates thrived in the seas of the New World, how pirates operated their plundering ventures, how governments battled piracy, and when and why piracy declined. Separating Hollywood myth from historical fact, these essays bring the real pirates of the Caribbean to life with a level of rigor and insight rarely applied to the subject. 
     
     
      
    The Golden Age of Piracy also delves into the enduring status of pirates as pop culture icons. Audiences have devoured stories about cutthroats such as Blackbeard and Henry Morgan since before Robert Louis Stevenson wrote Treasure Island. By looking at the ideas of gender and sexuality surrounding pirate stories, the renewed interest in hunting for pirate treasure, and the construction of pirate myths, the contributing authors tell a new story about the dangerous men, and a few dangerous women, who terrorized the high seas.
