The Play’S the Thing The Theatrical Collaboration of Clark Bowlen and Kathleen Keena, 1988?2012【電子書籍】[ Kathleen Keena ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>The Play's the Thing: The Theatrical Collaboration of Clark Bowlen and Kathleen Keena, 1988-2012</strong></p> <p>Kathleen Keena<br /> <em>iUniverse, 187 pages, (paperback) $17.95, 978-1-4917-6151-9<br /> (Reviewed: June 2015)</em></p> <p><em>The Play's the Thing</em> is Kathleen Keena's theater diary starting at Manchester Community College in Connecticut, 1988, where she meets theater chair Clark Bowlen. They collaborate (and eventually marry) until Bowlen's death at age 70. We follow their productions from academia to community to independent theater, as Keena directs while Bowlen designs sets and lighting.</p> <p>Keenas narrative takes a close look at individual plays. Including such productions as <em>The Glass Menagerie, The Taming of the Shrew, The Rainmaker, Desire Under the Elms,</em> <em>and Buried Child</em>, she breaks her discussion of each into categories: Background, Synopsis, Challenges, Actors.</p> <p>The author is incisive, articulate, and effective as she examines the thought process behind each play. While exploring <em>The Glass Menagerie</em>, she notes: Tennessee Williams' works are infused with fragile Southern belles, crumbling plantations, inarticulate males, sexual ambiguity, and a lyrical quality with a remorseful tone. She goes on to explain her vision of the piece, Bowlen's ideas for the set, any obstacles to the success of the production, and techniques she uses to prepare her cast.</p> <p>Readers arent likely to find a more absorbing, compelling account of theatrical production. Keena and Bowlen always took chances, pushing boundaries and rethinking traditional parameters to facilitate access to the audience, whether it was making the family home of <em>Buried Child</em> transparent or moving <em>The Importance of Being Earnest</em> to America on the verge of The Great Depression. The author shares interesting details about bringing one's interpretation of the script to the stage, while intertwining her professional evolution with her husband's.</p> <p><em>The Play's the Thing</em> offers pleasurable, dynamic reading for anybody who enjoys understanding how a show is built from the ground up.</p> <p>Also available as an ebook.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 468円

Haughey's Millions ? On the Trail of Charlie's Money The Bestselling Expos? of the Life and Debts of an Irish Taoiseach【電子書籍】[ Colm Keena ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Untangle the financial history of Charlie Haughey, Taoiseach and leader of Fianna Fáil, in Haughey's Millions, the must-read, bestselling expos? of one of Ireland's most controversial politicians Colm Keena, acclaimed Irish Times investigative journalist, examines the extraordinary career of Charlie 'the Boss' Haughey, the backbench TD who became Taoiseach (Prime Minister) and left a financial legacy that lingered long after his retirement from political life. As a politician, Haughey made a huge contribution to Irish life: he played a key role in the Northern Ireland peace process and he laid the foundations for the prosperity that arrived with the Celtic Tiger. But Haughey's Millions does not deal with Haughey's political history; instead Keena uncovers the subject that Haughey most wanted to avoid and you'll most want to read: the truth about his money. From elections to tribunal appearances, Haughey dominated the Irish political landscape from the '60s to the '90s and always lived visibly beyond his means. From his princely accommodation in Kinsealy to his penchant for horses, Haughey's extravagant spending made him look like a rich man on a TD's salary. In Haughey's Millions, Keena traces the origins of Haughey's lavish lifestyle back to the '50s and to his early life as a partner in Haughey, Boland & Co. Moving chronologically forward, Keena looks at Haughey's early involvement with Des Traynor and his developing relationships with property developers and other key entrepreneurs and business figures. Keena's investigations take him up to the Moriarty and McCracken tribunals of the mid-'90s, set up to investigate the alleged financial corruption at the heart of Haughey's infamous political reign. Under the microscope of Keena's investigations, Haughey's financial dealings are revealed. In Haughey's Millions, Keena gives you the whole tangled story of a politician who lived like a prince, from beginning to ignominious end. Haughey's Millions: Table of Contents Introduction Part One: 1925?1987 - A Descendant of Kings - The Tax Commissioner's Residence - The Wilderness Years - Banking Secrets - Horse Dealers and Hoteliers - Helping Ciar?n Part Two: 1987?1992 - Back in Business - Tralee Again - A New Disciple - Money for the Boss - Brian Lenihan - Financial Services - Taxing the Taoiseach Part Three: 1992? - Bowing Out Gracefully - Helicopters Again - An Innocent Bystander - Disclosure - Endgame - The Case for the Defence</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 332円

Competitive Elections and the American Voter【電子書籍】[ Keena Lipsitz ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Tight political races with their emotionally charged debates, mud-slinging, and uncertain outcomes are stressful for voters and candidates alike, but that stress may be healthy for democracy. In <em>Competitive Elections and the American Voter</em>, Keena Lipsitz argues that highly contested electoral battles create an environment that allows citizens to make more enlightened decisions.</p> <p>The first book to use democratic theory to evaluate the quality of campaign rhetoric, <em>Competitive Elections and the American Voter</em> offers a rare overview of political contests at different levels of government. Lipsitz draws on a range of contemporary democratic theories, including egalitarian and deliberative conceptions, to develop campaign communication standards. To promote the values of political competition, equality, and deliberation Lipsitz contends that voters must have access to abundant, balanced information, representing a range of voices and involving a high level of dialogue between the candidates. Using advertising data, the book examines whether competitive House, Senate, and presidential campaigns operating at the state level generate such facts and arguments. It also tests the connection between this knowledge and greater voter understanding and engagement. Because close elections can push candidates to attack their opponents, the book investigates how negative advertising affects voters as well. Given the link between electoral competitiveness and an informed electorate, the book includes reform proposals that enhance competition.</p> <p><em>Competitive Elections and the American Voter</em> reminds us that we avoid political controversy and conflict at our peril. This eye-opening analysis of political communication and campaign information environments encourages citizens, scholars, and campaign reformers to recognize the crucial role that well contested elections play in a democracy.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,248円

<p>What makes my book, My Pleasure, My Joy, My Pain so unique is that I've experienced almost every emotion in life there is to know. I lived in a dysfunctional family where secrets were kept.

However, I have experienced joy and pleasure as well as pain, and have poured out my heart in my poetry. Whoever reads my book will find themselves in at least one or two poems to which they can relate. Hopefully, when that happens, a healing will begin.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 452円

Gerrymandering the States Partisanship, Race, and the Transformation of American Federalism【電子書籍】[ Alex Keena ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>State legislatures are tasked with drawing state and federal districts and administering election law, among many other responsibilities. Yet state legislatures are themselves gerrymandered. This book examines how, why, and with what consequences, drawing on an original dataset of ninety-five state legislative maps from before and after 2011 redistricting. Identifying the institutional, political, and geographic determinants of gerrymandering, the authors find that Republican gerrymandering increased dramatically after the 2011 redistricting and bias was most extreme in states with racial segregation where Republicans drew the maps. This bias has had long-term consequences. For instance, states with the most extreme Republican gerrymandering were more likely to pass laws that restricted voting rights and undermined public health, and they were less likely to respond to COVID-19. The authors examine the implications for American democracy and for the balance of power between federal and state government; they also offer empirically grounded recommendations for reform.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 4,486円

Bertie Ahern: The Man Who Blew the Boom Power & Money【電子書籍】[ Colm Keena ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The fascinating story of the man who blew the boom. Colm Keena, the journalist who first broke the story of Bertie Ahern's finances, gives us an in-depth examination of the former Taoiseach's character, his lust for power and his obsession with money. Keena scrutinises the evidence produced by the Mahon Tribunal about Ahern's personal finances and his personal political machine, and illustrates the lengths to which Ahern went in his effort to hide the truth about what he was up to. Ahern's political career is re-charted in the light of what we now know about his character. Keena looks at how his desire for power existed alongside an almost complete absence of political conviction, this lack of which left him open to the influence of those with strong opinions, and did nothing to arrest his mismanagement of the Irish economy. His lust for popularity brought Ireland from rude good health to economic disaster. An historic opportunity was squandered, but Bertie walked away from the wreckage with his wallet bulging. His legacy: the near-destruction of a European economy and the collapse of one of the most successful political parties of the past hundred years.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 545円

The Works of Mercy The Heart of Catholicism【電子書籍】[ James F. Keenan, SJ, Boston College ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The Works of Mercy introduces readers to the seven corporal and seven spiritual works of mercy, inviting readers to explore mercy in our everyday lives. James Keenan defines mercy as “the willingness to enter into the chaos of another,” and it is one of the central elements of the Christian faith. Over the centuries Christians have defined themselves by feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, and caring for the sick. The book explores the traditional works of mercy and also looks at how mercy enters into ordinary life, in the way we care for our families and the way we care for ourselves. The third edition features more inclusive language to resonate with readers of all backgrounds, new case studies and examplesーfrom health care to the prison system, and new material on how Pope Francis and his papacy reflect mercy.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 4,200円

Some Great Idea Good Neighbourhoods, Crazy Politics and the Invention of Toronto【電子書籍】[ Edward Keenan ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Since 2010, Toronto's headlines have been consumed by the outrageous personal foibles and government-slashing, anti-urbanist policies of Mayor Rob Ford. But the heated debate at City Hall has obscured a bigger, decade-long narrative of Toronto's ascendance as a mature global city. Some Great Idea traces how post-amalgamation, and under three very different mayors, Toronto managed to so quickly oscillate from one extreme to another, and how the city might proceed from here. Some Great Idea includes behind-the-scenes tales from the Miller and Ford campaigns, and explores recent turning points like the city's core service review and the mayor’s con?ict-of-interest trial. Through personal history, keen reportage and revelatory analysis, it shows how the fundamental principles of diversity and democracy that have made Toronto such a vibrant, dynamic 21st-century city can produce an unlikely politician like Ford. And how those same principles have vividly and repeatedly insisted that such politicians are only part of a larger, messier and more productive urban politics. This is a story about both Toronto's past and present, how the city has relentlessly and collaboratively reinvented itself. But it's also a story about Toronto's future, and what that future might mean for all global cities. This is a story that says you can ?ght city hall. Originally announced as a September 2012 publication, Some Great Idea will publish in early 2013 with the most up-to-date information on Toronto's municipal politics.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,063円

Leadership Lessons from the Cherokee Nation DIGITAL AUDIO【電子書籍】[ Chad "Corntassel" Smith ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><em>"If you want to be successful, it is this simple. Know what you are doing, love what you are doing. And believe in what you are doing."</em> -- Will Rogers</p> <p>When Chad Smith became Principal Chief, the Cherokee Nation was a chaotic and dysfunctional entity. By the end of his tenure, 12 years later, the Nation had grown its assets from $150 million to $1.2 billion, increased business profits 2,000 percent, created 6,000 jobs, and dramatically advanced its education, language, and cultural preservation programs.</p> <p>How could one team influence such vast positive change?</p> <p>The Cherokee Nation's dramatic transformation was the result of Smith's principle-based leadership approach and his unique "Point A to Point B model"--the simple but profound idea that the more you focus on the final goal, the more you will accomplish . . . and the more you will learn along the way. In other words, "look at the end rather than getting caught up in tanglefoot."</p> <p>In <em>Leadership Lessons from the Cherokee Nation</em>, Smith combines Cherokee wisdom handed down from generation to generation with a smart leadership approach that takes today's very real issues into consideration. He explains why this leadership approach works and how you can apply it to your own organization, whether business, government, or nonprofit. Learn all the lessons that drive powerful leadership, including how to:</p> <ul> <li>Be a lifelong learner</li> <li>Solve problems with creativity and innovation</li> <li>Recruit and develop strong leaders</li> <li>Delegate wisely</li> <li>Act with integrity and dignity</li> <li>Don't be distracted from your objective</li> <li>Lead by example</li> </ul> <p>More than a simple how-to leadership guide, <em>Leadership Lessons from the Cherokee Nation</em> offers a holistic approach to the subject--how to become a powerful leader inside and direct your energy outward to accomplish any goal you set your mind to.</p> <p><strong>Praise for <em>Leadership Lessons from the Cherokee Nation</em>:</strong></p> <p><em>"These are lessons that can be applied to every organization. Principal Chief Smith's book on leadership is sound and provides steps for every business and organization to improve."</em> -- Frank Keating, President and CEO, American banker's Association, and former Governor of Oklahoma</p> <p><em>"An indelible chronicling of time-proven elements for tribal and organizational success; just as applicable today as they were a thousand years ago."</em> -- Jay Hannah, Cherokee Citizen, Executive Vice President of Financial Service, BancFirst, and former Chairman of the 1999 Cherokee Constitution Convention</p> <p><em>"A remarkable account of how the Cherokee Nation reached a pinnacle of success by incorporating common elements of planning, group action, and sharing credit for that success."</em> -- Ross Swimmer, former Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation 1975-1985 and former Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs, US Department of the Interior</p> <p><em>"Chief Smith shares stories with lessons that work in business; it is not where we are, but where we aspire to go that counts."</em> -- Harold Hamm, Chairman and CEO, Continental Resources, Inc.</p> <p><em>"Chief Smith shares from a Cherokee perspective how to get from where you are to where you want to go."</em> -- Archie Dunham, Independent Non-Executive Chairman, Chesapeake Energy, and former Chairman, ConocoPhillips</p> <p><em>"Outlines the reasons for the Nation's amazing growth and stability during [Chief Smith's] term. His principles of organization, leadership, and caring make sense; they work in all organizations."</em> -- David Tippeconnic, CEO, Arrow-Magnolia International, Inc., and former President and CEO, CITGO Petroleum Corp.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,557円

Alaska Days with John Muir: 4 Books in One Volume Illustrated: Travels in Alaska, The Cruise of the Corwin, Stickeen and Alaska Days【電子書籍】[ John Muir ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>John Muir made four trips to Alaska, as far as Unalaska and Barrow. Muir, Mr. Young and a group of Native American Guides first traveled to Alaska in 1879 and were the first Euro-Americans to explore Glacier Bay. Muir Glacier was later named after him. He traveled into British Columbia a third of the way up the Stikine River, likening its Grand Canyon to "a Yosemite that was a hundred miles long". Muir recorded over 300 glaciers along the river's course. He returned for further explorations in southeast Alaska in 1880 and in 1881 was with the party that landed on Wrangel Island on the USS Corwin and claimed that island for the United States. He documented this experience in journal entries and newspaper articlesーlater compiled and edited into his book The Cruise of the Corwin. In 1888 after seven years of managing the Strentzel fruit ranch in Alhambra Valley, California, his health began to suffer. He returned to the hills to recover, climbing Mount Rainier in Washington and writing Ascent of Mount Rainier.

England's Hidden Reverse, revised and expanded edition A Secret History of the Esoteric Underground【電子書籍】[ David Keenan ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>An expanded edition of the classic exploration of the English esoteric musical undergroundーwith the first biography of Coil, Current 93, and Nurse With Wound.</strong></p> <p>This newly expanded edition of <em>England's Hidden Reverse</em>, the classic exploration of the English esoteric musical underground that includes the first, and only, biographies of Coil, Current 93, and Nurse With Wound, is based on exclusive interviews and unprecedented access to all three bands’ personal archives. Together, these genre-defying bands and their circles represent the English underground in all its cultural, artistic, and sexual variety. Over four decades, the three intertwined groups have maintained a symbiotic, yet uneasy, relationship with the mainstream of popular culture, even as their music, beliefs, and practices have repelled them from it. Theirs was a clandestine scene whose work accents the many occulted peculiarities of Englishness that flow through generations of outsiders, channeling personalities as diverse as Aleister Crowley, Arthur Machen, Joe Orton, Shirley Collins, Bj?rk, and Marc Almond. The story of this Hidden Reverse has, necessarily, remained a secret. Until now.</p> <p>This new volume contains almost 100 pages of extra material culled from Furfur, a collection of interviews with musicians and artists whose careers intersected with the bands’, initially published alongside Strange Attractor's first limited edition of the book.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,627円
