Parker Lopez and Stone's The Book of Mormon

Parker Lopez and Stone's The Book of Mormon

'Hasa Diga Eebowai' In 2011 a musical full of curse words and Mormon missionaries swept that year’s Tony Awards and was praised as a triumphant return of the American musical. This book explores the inherent achievements (and failures) of The Book of Mormon—one of the most ambitious and problematic musicals to achieve widespread success. The creative team members—Matt Parker Trey Stone and composer Robert Lopez—were collectively known for their aggressive use of taboo subjects and crude punchy humor. Using the metaphor of boxing Granger explores the metaphorical punches the trio delivers and ruminates over the less-discussed ideological wounds that their style of shock absurdism might leave behind. This careful examination of where The Book of Mormon succeeds and fails is sure to challenge discussion of our understanding of musical comedy and our appreciation for this cultural landmark in theatre. | Parker Lopez and Stone's The Book of Mormon

Rodgers and Hammerstein's The Sound of Music

Rodgers and Hammerstein's The Sound of Music

'Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow Bloom and grow forever' Often dismissed as kitsch sentimentalism Rodgers and Hammerstein’s The Sound of Music has proven an enduringly popular and surprisingly influential cultural icon both within the field of musical theatre and the wider world. The Broadway production won five Tony Awards the London production became the longest-running West End musical and the movie version was the highest-grossing film of all time. This book examines how the musical heralded the end of an era on Broadway; its reinvention of history and biography; how the film has influenced future stage productions; the ways in which it put child performers centre stage; and how nearly 60 years after its stage debut the musical still has a direct impact on the modern world from the United States to the Middle East. In this series of short essays Julian Woolford re-examines the musical from seven different perspectives revealing the ways in which it continues to impact the 21st century. | Rodgers and Hammerstein's The Sound of Music

Thinking to Some Purpose

Thinking to Some Purpose

I am convinced of the urgent need for a democratic people to think clearly without the distortions due to unconscious bias and unrecognized ignorance. Our failures in thinking are in part due to faults which we could to some extent overcome were we to see clearly how these faults arise. It is the aim of this book to make a small effort in this direction. Susan Stebbing from the Preface Despite huge advances in education knowledge and communication it can often seem we are neither well-trained nor well practised in the art of clear thinking. Our powers of reasoning and argument are less confident that they should be we frequently ignore evidence and we are all too often swayed by rhetoric rather than reason. But what can you do to think and argue better? First published in 1939 but unavailable for many years Susan Stebbing's Thinking to Some Purpose is a classic first-aid manual of how to think clearly and remains astonishingly fresh and insightful. Written against a background of the rise of dictatorships and the collapse of democracy in Europe it is packed with useful tips and insights. Stebbing offers shrewd advice on how to think critically and clearly how to spot illogical statements and slipshod thinking and how to rely on reason rather than emotion. At a time when we are again faced with serious threats to democracy and freedom of thought Stebbing’s advice remains as urgent and important as ever. This Routledge edition of Thinking to Some Purpose includes a new Foreword by Nigel Warburton and a helpful Introduction by Peter West who places Susan Stebbing’s classic book in historical and philosophical context.

Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Global Pandemics Biodiversity and Planetary Health Beyond Covid-19

Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Global Pandemics Biodiversity and Planetary Health Beyond Covid-19

This book demonstrates the importance and potential role of Traditional Ecological Knowledge in foreseeing and curbing future global pandemics. The reduction of species diversity has increased the risk of global pandemics and it is therefore not only imperative to articulate and disseminate knowledge on the linkages between human activities and the transmission of viruses to humans but also to create policy pathways for operationalizing that knowledge to help solve future problems. Although this book has been prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic it lays a policy foundation for the effective management or possible prevention of similar pandemics in the future. One effective way of establishing this linkage with a view to promoting planet health is by understanding the traditional ecological knowledge of indigenous peoples with a view to demonstrating the significant impact it has on keeping nature intact. This book argues for the deployment of traditional ecological knowledge for land use management in the preservation of biodiversity as a means for effectively managing the transmission of viruses from animals to humans and ensuring planetary health. The book is not projecting traditional ecological knowledge as a panacea to pandemics but rather accentuating its critical role in the effective mitigation of future pandemics. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of traditional ecological knowledge indigenous studies animal ecology environmental ethics and environmental studies more broadly. | Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Global Pandemics Biodiversity and Planetary Health Beyond Covid-19

Portraits from Memory And Other Essays

Portraits from Memory And Other Essays

‘I have come to think that one of the main causes of trouble in the world is dogmatic and fanatical belief in some doctrine for which there is no adequate evidence. ’ – Bertrand Russell Portraits from Memory Portraits from Memory is one of Bertrand Russell’s most self-reflective and engaging books. Whilst not intended as an autobiography it is a vivid recollection of some of his celebrated contemporaries such as George Bernard Shaw Sidney and Beatrice Webb and D. H. Lawrence. Russell provides some arresting and sometimes amusing insights into writers with whom he corresponded. He was fascinated by Joseph Conrad with whom he formed a strong emotional bond writing that his Heart of Darkness was not just a story but an expression of Conrad’s ‘philosophy of life’. There are also some typically pithy Russellian observations; H. G. Wells ‘derived his importance from quantity rather than quality’ whilst after a brief and fraught friendship Russell thought D. H. Lawrence ‘had no real wish to make the world better but only to indulge in eloquent soliloquy about how bad it was’. This engaging book also includes some of Russell’s customary razor-sharp essays on a rich array of subjects from his ardent pacifism liberal politics and morality to the ethics of education the skills of good writing and how he came to philosophy as a young man. These include ‘A Plea for Clear Thinking’ ‘A Philosophy for Our Time’ and ‘How I Write’. Portraits from Memory is Russell at his best and will enthrall those new to Russell as well as those already well-acquainted with his work. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new foreword by the Russell scholar Nicholas Griffin editor of The Selected Letters of Bertrand Russell. | Portraits from Memory And Other Essays

Power and Gender in European Rural Development

Power and Gender in European Rural Development

Since the early 1990s new public and private actors emphasizing issues such as landscape nature environment and food safety have challenged EU rural development policies. This book looks at this innovative framework and in particular the impacts of the interactions between established interests and newcomers in local power relations. Specific attention has been given to the gendered nature of these processes. Case studies from throughout Western Europe analyze local rural power relations and present overviews of the significance of rural gender relations. The book demonstrates that traditional and new forms of social organization in rural areas create new forms of political participation. Changing forms of social capital and political participation not only influence the relation between state and civil society but also male-female relationships. The book argues that the dynamics of these gendered power relations produce competing discourses which can often hinder policy making and implementation. | Power and Gender in European Rural Development

Metropolis 2000 Planning Poverty and Politics

Metropolis 2000 Planning Poverty and Politics

Originally published in 1993 Metropolis 2000 analyses 20th century metropolitan development and planning under the economic and environmental conditions of the world’s regions. Attempts to achieve the physical integration of the city without economic equality have failed. The book advances the principle of ‘integrated diversity’ which emphasises linking neighbourhood planning with a broader vision of the planned metropolis and applies a political economy approach and argues for a new form of pro-urban thinking. The book argues that the basis for a humane approach to city planning is viewing the metropolis as a beneficial accompaniment to national independence equality and social progress. | Metropolis 2000 Planning Poverty and Politics

Arts Government and Community Revitalization

Arts Government and Community Revitalization

First published in 1999 this book goes beyond the standard economic tools used to evaluate the effectiveness of arts in redevelopment processes.

This book explores the 1) cultural and regeneration reasons for revitalization; 2) sources of funds; 3) political interaction; 4) definition and estimation of output; 5) evaluation of output; 6) estimation of coefficients and multipliers effects obtained from input-output tables. | Arts Government and Community Revitalization
