Sinopse

Playwriting Structures explores the foundational elements of dramatic literature, revealing how playwrights through history have utilized both traditional and innovative forms to create compelling narratives. From the enduring three-act structure, which provides a framework for plot and character development, to the potent use of monologues for character revelation, the book examines key techniques essential for effective dramatic composition.

 
Understanding dramatic action and conflict are crucial to both creating and analyzing dramatic works. The book progresses logically, beginning with core concepts before delving into the three-act structure and the art of monologue writing. It also considers these elements within their historical and social contexts, referencing theatre history.

 
By deconstructing successful plays from various eras, Playwriting Structures demonstrates how these structures serve as powerful tools for conveying meaning and engaging audiences. This approach makes the book a valuable resource for students, scholars, and playwrights alike.

Broken - How Our Social Systems...

Paul LeBlanc

Many of the systems built to serve people instead do more harm than good. 
 
 
 
In Broken, Dr. Paul LeBlanc, president of Southern New Hampshire University, draws on his experience working in one such system—education—to reconnect us to the human facets of serving people. In doing so, he charts a course for rebuilding and reinhabiting better systems across education, healthcare, criminal justice, government, and more. 
 
 
 
The United States spends enormous sums on helping people—$3.8 trillion on healthcare, $182 billion on prisons, and $604 billion on higher education—and yet these systems routinely fail us. 
 
 
 
When we seek to improve how they function, our efforts focus on policy debates, technical solutions, funding, and data. But if these systems are to truly improve, we have to start with the human values that fuel decision making. 
 
 
  
Broken explores the deeply human dimensions we must consider—aspiring, discovering, mattering—if we want to rebuild the policies, technologies, processes, and, most importantly, the heart we use to serve people.

The Leading Ladies at The School

Andi Sulistiadi

The characteristics of school leaders who are appointed merely on the instructions of their superiors differ significantly from those of principals who enter the profession out of a deep sense of calling. Leaders appointed by directive often carry out their responsibilities as an obligation or administrative duty, focusing primarily on compliance and fulfilling external expectations. Their authority is derived from positional power rather than intrinsic motivation. In contrast, school principals who assume their role on the basis of personal calling demonstrate a greater sense of commitment, passion, and responsibility for the growth of both students and teachers. Their leadership is not confined to administrative functions but extends to fostering a vision, building a positive culture, and inspiring others. The difference becomes evident in the way they make decisions, manage challenges, and build relationships within the school community. Ultimately, this divergence can be traced back to their initial motivations: while one group enters education out of necessity or appointment, the other chooses the path because of a genuine dedication to the educational mission. The women in this book remind us that leadership is not about power, it is not about status,  it is about service, it is about the courage to balance logic with compassion. Through their vision, education is transformed.
