Summary

Teaching Actors draws on history, literature, and original research conducted across leading drama schools in England and Australia, to offer those involved in actor training a critical framework within which to think about their work. Prior, who brings to this volume more than twenty years of experience as both a teacher and performer in the field, devotes particular attention to the different ways in which teachers and students acquire and share knowledge through practical craft-based experience. The first book-length treatment of how actor trainers work—and understand their work—Teaching Actors will be an invaluable educational resource in an increasingly important area of theatre training and research.

    Father Charles Coughlin was a controversial Canadian-American Catholic priest based in Michigan. Calling for monetary reforms, the nationalization of major industries and railroads, and protection of the rights of labor, Coughlin used weekly radio broadcasts to reach a mass audience of up to thirty million listeners during the 1930s. 
    An early supporter of Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal, Coughlin later became a harsh critic. Coughlin’s commentary also became more anti-semitic, and he supported some of the fascist policies of Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito. As a result, many American Catholic leaders, as well as the Vatican, wanted Coughlin silenced. After the outbreak of World War II in 1939, the Roosevelt administration finally forced the cancellation of his radio program and forbade the dissemination of his newspaper, Social Justice. 
    In this recording, Coughlin first discusses Franklin D. Roosevelt, and then the consequences of World War I twenty years after.

    Most of the startups crash. But many of these errors are preventable. Lean Startup is a new approach that is being implemented across the globe, changing the way businesses are being developed and new products are being introduced.  
    Eric Ries describes a start-up as an entity committed to creating something new under conditions of intense uncertainty. This is just as true for one person in the garage or a group of experienced professionals in the Fortune 500 boardroom. What they have in common is a desire to penetrate the fog of confusion in order to discover a successful path to sustainable business.  
    The Lean Startup strategy supports businesses that are both more capital-efficient and harness human creativity more effectively. Inspired by lessons learned from lean manufacturing, it relies on' validated learning,' rapid scientific testing, as well as a variety of counter-intuitive practices that shorten product development cycles, evaluate real progress without using arbitrary metrics, and understand what consumers really want. This allows an organization to change directions with precision, alter plans inch by inch, minute by minute.  
    Instead of wasting time making complex business plans, The Lean Startup provides entrepreneurs— in businesses of all sizes— a way to constantly test their dream, change and modify before it's too late. Ries offers a practical approach to creating and managing productive start-ups at a time when businesses need to evolve more than ever.

    Revealing details about icon Amy Winehouse’s childhood, musical influences and substance abuse, this biography by her father “can’t fail to move”(The Sunday Times). 
     
    The intimate, inside story of the life of multiple Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter Amy Winehouse is told by the one person most able to tell it—Amy’s closest advisor, her inspiration, and best friend: her father, Mitch. 
     
    Sifting fact from fiction, Mitch Winehouse reveals the events and the people that shaped Amy’s youth—from her mischievous childhood to her grandmother’s Jazz Age stories, to her father singing Frank Sinatra around the house. Shedding light on Amy’s musical coming-of-age, Mitch explores how she honed her distinctive sound, created her unforgettable look, and channeled her own life into hits such as “You Know I’m No Good”, “Rehab”, and “Back to Black” —some of the most memorable and personal pop music in years. 
     
    Mitch holds nothing back about Amy’s addiction to drugs and alcohol and the toll it took on the family and friends who refused to give up on her. Dispelling many of the rumors about her tumultuous marriage to Blake Fielder-Civil, Mitch exposes the years of behind-the-scenes drama and explains how, for those who knew Amy in her last months, the greatest tragedy of all was that she finally appeared to be conquering her demons. 
     
    Amy, My Daughter includes exclusive, never-before-seen photos and paints an open and honest portrait of one of the greatest musical talents of our time. 
     
    “An unsparing portrait of addiction.” —The Times  
     
    “Mitch does a fine job of fleshing out his daughter in all contradictory glory.” —Observer  
     
    “An unflinchingly honest memoir.” —Independent
