Description

lsquo;One of the great stories of the American theater...; the Workshop not only built an international reputation with its daring choice of plays and nontraditional productions; it also helped launch a movement of regional; or resident; companies that would change forever how Americans thought about and consumed theater.rsquo; ndash; Elin Diamond; from the IntroductionHerbert Blau founded; with Jules Irving; the legendary Actors Workshop of San Francisco; in 1952; starting with ten people in a loft above a judo academy. Over the course of the next 13 years and its hundred or so productions; it introduced American audiences to plays by Brecht; Beckett; Pinter; Genet; Arden; Fornes; and various unknown others.Most of the productions were accompanied by a stunningly concise and often provocative programme note by Blau. These documents now comprise; within their compelling perspective; a critique of the modern theatre. They vividly reveal what these now canonical works could mean; first time round; and in the context of 1950s and 60s American culture; in the shadow of the Cold War.Programming Theater History curates these notes; with a selection of the Workshops incrementally artful; alluring programme covers; Blaus recollections; and evocative production photographs; into a narrative of indispensable artefacts and observations. The result is an inspiring testimony by a giant of American performance theory and practice; and a unique reflection of what it is to create theatre history in the present.

For a construction guide; this is a fantastic source.By Narut UjnatAs someone familiar with construction practices; I actually was not familiar with Francis Ching and his guides. I was really excited to see these guides and I was excited to review this book about European Construction.First off; the book is organized with considerations of materials; sites and designs. The book then has many chapters on actual building considerations on putting up a variety of structures; including homes and businesses.The book has lots of details and great illustrations of the features discussed herein; giving the reader a great ability to visualize exactly what is being discussed.Since the book is geared towards European construction standards; the book is written with a view towards the metric system and the buildings here are synonymous; but not exactly like American structures.On the other hand; this book and the Construction Standards companion volume are excellent resource guides. I have found myself looking through this book with curiosity over different questions I might have regarding different aspects of structures and certainly different components.A excellent resource; this is well worth a purchase for the curious layperson and/or professional. You will learn a lot.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Primarily for UK and European readersBy Margaret P."European Building Construction Illustrated" by Francis D.K. Ching is the European version of a book by the same author that has been popular with architecture and building construction students for decades; "Building Construction Illustrated".This version is intended primarily for UK readers; with some references to continental European and Middle Eastern building practices. Although it could serve as an introduction to those standards for U.S. readers familiar with U.S. building construction concepts and techniques and will no doubt be popular in the U.S.; it is not intended for that purpose; and does not specifically include or focus on comparison and contrast.Neither is the book just "translated" from the U.S. version; but has been reconceived. It takes the same approach as the original version; presenting concepts from the basic and general to those more advanced and detailed; with straightforward and complementary illustrations and text; with great appeal for the intended audience.As might be expected; it incorporates metric measurement units; British spelling and terminology; emphasizes passive and active energy efficiency; and addresses topics such as use of bathroom pods.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great Material; Mediocre Presentation ...By Dr. EThis is a softcover; no-frills; black white text. Given this; the price tag seems a little steep. I was thinking somewhere around $39.99 would be more appropriate. And; echoing another reviewer; the font is a serious deterrent. (One expects an easy-to-read; standard Times New Roman; not this "stretched out" eye-strain. One wouldnt think that font would make much of a difference ... but; man; it really does).The figures/illustrations/schematics are large and fairly clear. Likewise; the information presented is almost entirely in bullet-pointed paragraphs located next to these figures. This allows the reader to quickly absorb information without committing to a massive; dense; reading experience.I located no issues with editing. Likewise; the text is extraordinarily concise.When open; the text will continue to remain so. This may also seem like an insignificant detail; however; if one is researching additional material; this is always a plus. (Nothing worse than your primary text snapping shut while one is paging through another source).Great material; so-so presentation.
