Bringing together scholars from musicology, literature, childhood studies, and theater, this volume examines the ways in which children's musicals tap into adult nostalgia for childhood while appealing to the needs and consumer potential of the child. The contributors take up a wide range of musicals, including works inspired by the books of children's authors such as Roald Dahl, P.L. Travers, and Francis Hodgson Burnett; created by Rodgers and Hammerstein, Lionel Bart, and other leading lights of musical theater; or conceived for a cast made up entirely of children. The collection examines musicals that propagate or complicate normative attitudes regarding what childhood is or should be. It also considers the child performer in movie musicals as well as in professional and amateur stage musicals. This far-ranging collection highlights the special place that musical theater occupies in the imaginations and lives of children as well as adults. The collection comes at a time of increased importance of musical theater in the lives of children and young adults.

Skiers and snowboarders, prepare to realize your wildest dreams as we take you to the best peaks on the planet. Peter Oliver has explored mountains across the earth, skiing hundreds of thousands of vertical feet through untold stashes of powder in his quest for the best. Along the way, he's seen skiing and boarding merge in a mutual longing to put the adventure back into alpine skiing. That means off-trail (or "off-piste") runs, glade skiing, plenty of lift-served backcountry, out-of-bounds opportunities, and more and better heli-skiing. It means new resorts and newly opened terrain at classic resorts that make snowboarding and skiing more exciting than ever.
