Sinopsis

Chorus Function Evolution explores the dynamic journey of the Greek chorus, challenging the notion of it as a static element in dramatic performance. The book traces its evolution from ancient Greece, where the chorus served as a communal voice and moral compass, to its diverse modern reinventions.

 
Intriguingly, the chorus's role wasn't always unified; it was a site of negotiation reflecting cultural values. The study reveals how the chorus, diminished at times, re-emerges in movements like Renaissance drama and even contemporary musicals, demonstrating its adaptability.

 
The book analyzes the chorus's function across different periods, beginning with its foundational role in classical tragedies and progressing through periods of dormancy and reinvention. By examining theatrical productions and dramatic literature, the author illuminates the chorus's capacity to address current social and political concerns.

 
Ultimately, Chorus Function Evolution argues that the chorus remains a potent theatrical tool, challenging conventional views and highlighting its relevance in shaping theatrical expression by providing a historical context within ancient Greek society.

The Middle East Conflict - A...

Oliver Green

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. The Middle East conflict is one of the most covered and least understood stories in modern history. The headlines never stop. The context almost never arrives.

The Middle East Conflict: A Plain-English Guide to What's Actually Happening is the accessible, nonpartisan overview for anyone who wants to understand what is actually going on—where the conflict came from, why it has persisted for decades, who the key players are, what each side believes they are fighting for, and why every proposed solution has so far failed to hold. No jargon. No agenda. No assumption that you already know the history.

Inside this audiobook you will learn the historical background that shaped the modern conflict including the Ottoman era, the British Mandate period, the founding of Israel, and the displacement of Palestinian populations, how the major wars of the 20th century redrew borders and hardened divisions that still define the conflict today, who the key actors are including governments, armed factions, international bodies, and regional powers and what each of them wants, why the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, Jerusalem, and the question of Palestinian statehood remain the central unresolved fault lines, how the United States, Iran, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and other regional and global powers influence the conflict from the outside, what the major proposed solutions have been, why they have failed, and what the realistic obstacles to peace actually look like, and how to follow ongoing developments with enough context to understand what you are reading.

This audiobook does not tell you what to think about the Middle East. It gives you a foundation for thinking about it clearly.

Coerced to Courageous - Taking...

K C Andrews

‘I was so busy keeping him happy I didn’t notice how long it had been since I’d seen my friends. I seemed to apologise for everything. I was constantly tense, holding my breath, trying to predict his mood. Slowly my world became smaller, darker and lonelier.’
Coercive Control is an insidious fog. The first ‘red flags’ are so small you don’t notice them: a simple remark about how to do something ‘the right way’ or a suggestion about how you should dress. He cares about where you are and who you are with.
We all want the perfect relationship, but for the courageous authors in Coerced to Courageous, their soulmate was more like checkmate.
The first ‘red flags’ of Coercive Control are so subtle you barely notice them. Eventually, he has driven away your friends and family, is making all the decisions and controlling the finances, and you are trapped. These brave, resilient, brilliant women share the tools that helped them escape and rebuild their lives. They want to encourage and empower you to break the chains of coercive control and create the life you deserve.
Broken to Brilliant is an Australian not-for-profit charity where domestic violence survivors mentor other survivors to rebuild successful lives using the power of story.
When we saw the impact on people’s lives of our first three books, the changes made, the hope in their hearts, the joy and gratitude for their new lives, we had to continue to share stories of hope, healing & recovery. There had to be a fourth book.
We applaud each of our authors for sharing their raw, vulnerable & courageous stories. Our hope is that these books will provide you with the tools to take back your power so you can rebuild your life the way you choose. Each step forward is a courageous move toward your new life filled with peace, happiness & achievement.

Mania - A Short History of...

David Healey

This provocative history of bipolar disorder illuminates how perceptions of illness, if not the illnesses themselves, are mutable over time. 
 
 
 
Beginning with the origins of the concept of mania—and the term maniac—in ancient Greek and Roman civilizations, renowned psychiatrist David Healy examines how concepts of mental afflictions evolved as scientific breakthroughs established connections between brain function and mental illness. Healy recounts the changing definitions of mania through the centuries, explores the effects of new terminology and growing public awareness of the disease on culture and society, and examines the rise of psychotropic treatments and pharmacological marketing over the past four decades. Along the way, Healy clears much of the confusion surrounding bipolar disorder even as he raises crucial questions about how, why, and by whom the disease is diagnosed. 
 
 
 
Drawing heavily on primary sources and supplemented with interviews and insight gained over Healy's long career, this lucid and engaging overview of mania sheds new light on one of humankind's most vexing ailments.
