THE BOOK IS BEAUTIFUL. THE AUTHOR WAS KIND ENOUGH TO SIGN IT FOR ME AS WELL AS SEND A PERSONAL NOTE WHICH I THOUGHT WAS A NICE TOUCH. I RECOMMEND IT HIGHLY TO ANYONE INTERESTD IN BESSIE.

This book details the life story of Bessie P. Gutmann. It has MANY color prints of her art work and it is worth buying. I was thrilled to meet the author's daughter on line and she was able to have her father ... sign my book. It is a valuable source of information, names of the pictures, stories about them and three indexes. You will not regret the purchase!

A book of its time (60s-early 80s), but I'm glad I finally came to it. Generally it contrasts the theories and practices of western innovators (Stanislavski et. al., Brecht, Grotowski, Brooks) against the rituals and traditions of eastern institutions (Kathakali, Noh, Kabuki, ritual events of Bali, India, especially Ramlila). Fascinating diagrams accompany the discussion of performance theory. Loved the essays on performance in "Restoration of Behavior," and "Transported and Transformed." And for both the actor and director, the argument that performance exists somewhere between the "not-me and not-not-me" is compelling.

This is by far one of the most extensive books concerning the sport of billiards and pool. I often go to this resource before writing for pool publications; I also use it as a guide when shopping either online or traveling. There is more information here than perhaps EVER gathered in one book. Excellent photos and history in the wonderful reference material. If you are interested at all in this sport this is a must have! Worth every penny.

This book captures the vivid history of a sport that has until recently been relatively unknown. Not onlyu in my opinion does this book capture the origins of the sport in a way never seen before as a piece of art it is relatively uncomprimised in the industry today.

An excellent book for USMLE Step 1

An must buy for medical students and foreign medical graduates taking USMLE . I'd recommend to buy the whole set of five books!

Of course, anyone who has actually read the book will know that Villanueva is from a Puerto Rican family, not a Mexican one.

Not that it matters. This is an important book for anyone in English studies, not just rhetoric & composition. Read it now.

One day she went with her Grandpa and she saw this girl that had braids that Izzzy thought was poor, so she gave her so of her cloth she didn't ware anymore.

Though the ups and downs they found away with Gods help and become good friends, and play together all the time. This story has a good meaning and that is why I like it. The pictures are done very nicely drown by Tim Ladwig with water color.
