  Vijayanagara Empire - Hampi's...

  The Vijayanagara Empire emerged as one of the most significant and powerful dynasties in Indian history, rising at a time when the Indian subcontinent was fragmented and facing threats from expanding Islamic sultanates. Its foundation in the 14th century was a turning point that not only established a strong Hindu kingdom in southern India but also laid the groundwork for a cultural and economic renaissance. 
  The origins of Vijayanagara trace back to the political instability of the Deccan region. The Delhi Sultanate had extended its influence into the south, leading to the weakening of older Hindu kingdoms such as the Kakatiyas, Hoysalas, and Pandyas. Amid this turmoil, two brothers, Harihara and Bukka, originally serving under the Kakatiya rulers, rose to prominence. After being captured and later released by the Delhi Sultanate, they sought guidance from the sage Vidyaranya, who inspired them to establish a strong Hindu kingdom to resist further invasions. In 1336, they founded the city of Vijayanagara on the banks of the Tungabhadra River, marking the birth of the empire. 
  From its inception, the Vijayanagara Empire was strategically positioned to thrive. The Tungabhadra River provided a natural defensive barrier, while the rocky terrain of Hampi served as a formidable protection against enemy invasions. The early rulers focused on consolidating power, expanding their territories, and strengthening their military capabilities. Under Harihara I, the empire extended its control over parts of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, securing key trade routes and fortifying its defenses.

  A unique guide to every aspect of putting on your own solo show: choosing the subject, raising the finance, booking the venue - and performing it!
  More and more actors – faced with ever longer periods of unemployment – are turning to the solo show as a way of keeping active, keeping visible, and keeping the wolf from the door! This book is essential reading for anyone contemplating such a move, and comprehensively covers every aspect of putting on your own one-person show.
  Being a veteran of the solo-show circuit, as a writer, performer and director, Gareth Armstrong is the ideal guide. He takes you step by step through each stage of the process:
  Choosing the right material – or devising your own
  Raising the finance
  Finding the venues
  Hiring a bookings manager and other personnel
  Arranging publicity
  Winning an audience
  There is a special section on that mecca for solo shows, the Edinburgh Fringe, and an extensive appendix covering funding bodies, venues, festivals and more. Throughout the book, Armstrong illustrates his points with case studies of actual solo shows by performers such as Miriam Margolyes, Linda Marlowe and Guy Masterson.
  'So You Want To Do A Solo Show? is a thorough, meticulous, hands-on, "how-to-do" manual, covering everything from the germination of an idea right through to the costing of the flyers. It is, I think, the most valuable read for any performer who has ever thought "If only I could have some control over the way my career is going"' Maureen Lipman, from her Foreword

  Philosophical essays on the beauty and meaning of traditional Japanese gardens.
   
  In Japanese gardens, composition follows from placement of the first stone; all elements and plantings become interconnected. These eight essays on Kyoto gardens similarly begin with keen description and build into richly meditative excursions into art, Buddhism, nature, and science. 
   
  Landscape architect Marc Keane shows how Japanese gardens are both a microcosm of the natural universe and a clear expression of our humanity, mirroring how we think, worship, and organize our lives and communities. Filled with passages of alluring beauty, this is a truly transcendent book about "experiencing" Japanese design.

  Prepare for a literary eruption. Crying with My Pussy, the incendiary debut novel from Swedish writer Isabel Hillborg, arrives as a fierce and unfiltered exploration of trauma, desire, and resilience in modern womanhood. Brutally honest, violently funny, and gorgeously subversive, Hillborg's voice cuts through cultural taboos with an emotional scalpel.In this unflinching narrative, protagonist Jennie navigates the aftermath of childhood trauma through a series of intense relationships. As she spirals through the complexities of millennial femininity, mental illness, and erotic compulsion, Jennie's journey becomes a powerful meditation on how we try to heal from our deepest wounds. Hillborg masterfully chronicles a woman's quest to reclaim her identity in a world that constantly attempts to define her.Hillborg dares to ask: What if the only thing keeping you alive is the one thing society says should shame you?With echoes of Virginie Despentes, Chris Kraus, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Crying with My Pussy is not only literary but political. It's for readers who want their fiction fierce, flawed, and female as hell—yet its themes of survival, identity, and the search for authentic connection will resonate with anyone who has ever felt broken and sought to put themselves back together.

  On Marilyn Monroe - An...

  Marilyn Monroe has been gone for over sixty years, and yet people are still talking about her. What, exactly, is the spell she casts on so many? Stunning, exciting to watch, incredibly famous, Monroe lived a very public life and died young, with a sad suddenness. All of this is true, and yet there is so much more to her story. 
   
   
   
  On Marilyn Monroe: An Opinionated Guide looks past the sensation to the real legacy—her richly varied body of work. Both during her life and following her death, Monroe was dismissed as more of a phenomenon than an actor, often an object of ridicule instead of a performer whose work could be taken seriously. The truth that lay behind the dazzling surface was that she was one of the hardest working of actors. Rigorously applying both skillful technique and an inherent charisma, she was able to create truly unforgettable performances. 
   
   
   
  In this lively guide, Richard Barrios looks beyond the ballyhoo and legend at Monroe's best-known films, and some that remain obscure. It also addresses the work she did on television and the stage, as well as her underrated abilities as a vocalist. Both an informative study and a perceptive critical assessment, On Marilyn Monroe: An Opinionated Guide gives this brilliant performer the attention she desired—that of an artist whose work deserves both examination and celebration.
