Sinopsis

Combat Armor explores the fascinating evolution of personal protection, from the armor of medieval knights to the futuristic designs seen in manga. Bridging military history and design, the book delves into the science, cultural impact, and enduring appeal of armor. One intriguing area examined is how historical armor’s limitations influenced the development of military strategies. Additionally, the book investigates how manga artists conceptualize next-generation personal defense systems, blending technological possibilities with creative expression.

 
The book is structured in three parts, beginning with fundamental concepts of armor protection, then examining the evolution of real-world armor chronologically, from Roman infantry to World War II flak jackets. Finally, the book analyzes combat armor design in manga. This approach provides a unique perspective by directly comparing historical and speculative designs, offering a deeper understanding of the technological and cultural forces shaping our understanding of personal protection.

    Thou Art Alive! - Shakespeare...

    Written in two parts in an accessible, conversational style, this book is more than a ‘how-to’ primer on the cue-script method: how Shakespeare and his actors staged his plays with minimal to no full company rehearsal.  In Part 2, the author (a professional actor, director and academic researcher) expands upon how she has used this approach to Shakespeare herself and, as a result, made some ground-breaking discoveries. 
     
    For those listeners who may be unfamiliar with cue-scripts, and to bring the text to life, through performance, this edition, first published in print and e-book format in 2017, has been specially rewritten, updated and adapted for audio. The word on the page being, of course, vital to the process, the audiobook comes with a free, downloadable pdf and the updated version is also available in print and as an e-book."  A lifelong dedication to the theatre arts and a personal vow to help keep theatre alive, inspired its title. But of course it was Ben Johnson who said it first: “Thou art alive while thy book doth live.” Thy book being, of course, The first Folio (1623).  The insights provided in this book, as well as in the other books you'll find recommended in its bibliography, confirm just how authoritative the First Folio (1623) really is. 
     
    To anyone who finds this book useful, may you feel inspired to verify, refine and expand upon this work and, in turn, share your findings with you own audience, readers, students and colleagues.  The modest number of personal, new and surprising insights it has been possible to include in this slim volume is suggestive of many more to come.

    Few women artists feature prominently in the history of art, and even fewer who are mothers. What can we learn about ambition, limitation, and creativity from women who persist in doing both? 
     
     
     
    Forged in the stress of early motherhood, The Mother Artist explores the fraught yet generative ties between caregiving and creative practice. As a young mother working at a museum, essayist Catherine Ricketts began asking questions about the making of motherhood and the making of art. Now, with incantatory prose and an intuitive gaze, she twines intimate meditations on parenthood with studies of the work and lives of painters, writers, dancers, musicians, and other creatives. Ricketts takes listeners through the studios of mother artists, placing us in the company of women from the past and the present who persevere in both art and caregiving. We encounter Senga Nengudi's sculptures, which celebrate the pregnant body, and Toni Morrison's powerful writing on childbirth. We behold Joan Didion's meditations on maternal grief and Alice Neel's portraits of mothers and babies. And we observe the ambition of sculptor Ruth Asawa, the activism of printmaker Elizabeth Catlett, and the constancy of writer Madeleine L'Engle. This book is for mothers who aspire to make art, anyone eager to discover the stories of visionary women, and all who long for a revolution of tenderness.
