Sinossi

Slapstick Origins explores the rich history of slapstick comedy, tracing its roots from ancient theatrical traditions to its modern-day manifestations. The book argues that slapstick isn't just lowbrow humor, but a complex art form reflecting societal changes. It delves into the historical antecedents, like commedia dell'arte, and dissects the technical elements, such as pratfalls and chases, revealing the artistry behind seemingly simple gags.

 
Intriguingly, slapstick's themes of social disruption and absurd situations resonate across cultures, making it a potent form of social commentary. The book analyzes the evolution of slapstick across chapters, starting with its historical context and moving through specific periods like silent films and the rise of figures such as Charlie Chaplin. It further examines contemporary examples in sitcoms and action comedies.

 
By connecting performing arts, history, and film studies, Slapstick Origins offers a holistic understanding of slapstick's significance and its enduring influence on popular culture.

    The Chinese Dragon by L. Newton Hayes is a compelling exploration of the mythical creature that has long symbolized power, wisdom, and prosperity in Chinese culture. Written in the early 20th century, this insightful study draws upon folklore, religious beliefs, visual arts, and first-hand accounts to paint a vivid picture of the dragon’s enduring significance in Chinese tradition. Hayes examines the creature's diverse roles—from divine guardian to celestial force—while contrasting its revered image in the East with the often fearsome depiction in Western mythology. Blending academic scholarship with cultural storytelling, this audiobook offers listeners an enlightening journey through the historical, symbolic, and spiritual dimensions of one of humanity’s most iconic legendary beings.

    The 67 essays in Truth and Fantasy explore diverse themes from different perspectives based on the author's and narrator's experiences. The essays are neither comprehensive nor meant to argue forcefully for any single viewpoint. Rather, they are meant to stimulate and inspire additional thoughts and ideas. Beginning essays include musings on random thoughts on the power of silence and neutral and indifference. Subsequent essays emerge from a lifelong career in biology research and touch on whether the ability to evolve is an evolutionary trait. Other essays argue that the nature of intelligence and aesthetics can be traced throughout the animal kingdom, including even so-called "mindless" invertebrates. Challenging subjects are covered in essays about the foundations and meaning of creativity, considering even the role of boredom and imperfections as sources of creativity. Other essays deal with ambition and the relative significance of the buried streams of time between the specific, visible, highlighted episodes in life. The essays include reflections relating competitive tennis to general issues of life, express gratitude for 50 years of marriage, the miracle of having children and grandchildren, the positive nature of kindness, the despondence of losing a treasured wedding ring, and relief when it's found; art: how it's valued, the significance of authenticity, the importance of ambiguity, and the experiences of amassing a world-class collection of Inuit sculptures. Essays describe uplifting experiences and broadening horizons by traveling to exotic places – Israel, Iceland, Greenland, Portugal, and West Africa – and the nostalgia of returning after 40 years to the science laboratories in Puget Sound as a writer instead of a science student. Finally, essays maintain that aging need not dampen ambition and creative efforts but do not ignore the inevitability of death and its value in defining the marvel and privilege of life.

    PepsiCo's award-winning chief design officer reveals the secret to creating life-changing innovations: putting human needs at the center of any design process. 
     
    In every industry, new technologies have lowered the barrier to entry like never before. Either you design exceptional products, brands and experiences, or somebody will beat you to it. And Mauro Porcini - PepsiCo's and 3M's first ever chief design officer - says, the key to real, world-changing innovation is to put people first. Putting people first requires what Porcini calls unicorns: people who are in love with people and who have a genuine fire in them to create meaningful solutions for actual human beings. In this book, he describes them, celebrates them, and details their superpowers so you can find them, hire them, grow them, and retain them. Some have qualities you might expect-the ability to dream and an attention to detail-but when was the last time you heard an executive ask  prospective hires if they were kind or humble? Porcini uses his journey across startups and multinational corporations, through successes and failures, to create a handbook for modern innovators. This book is written by a celebrated designer, high-level corporate executive, and a decent human being.
