Her nuanced argument; central to any analysis of contemporary drama; discusses: *the imperative of gender in the playwrights imagination *the function of gender as a major determinant of the texts structural and narrative drives *the impact of socialism and feminism on post-war British drama; and the relevance of feminist dynamics in drama *differences in the representation of the fmaily; sexuality and the mother; before and after 1968 *the impact of the slogan that the personal is political on contemporary form and content.

Lots of history readingBy Susan QuarantaQuite a well written world history of consturction.Im going to write a book connecting the dots of engineering and physics in construction . . .3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Construction - Craft to IndustryBy Denise R. NorbergThis looked like a wonderful addition to my library for teaching Construction Management; despite the ridiculously high price. Unfortunately; the book is missing the last 40 pages; including the chronology and other reference materials essential to its appropriate use. Dont pay this price for such poor quality printing.
