DOWNLOAD EBOOKAll of us have immense inner resources for dealing with what life throws at us - but we have to learn how to release those resources. We can't always control what life sends us, but we can choose how we respond. And that, Easwaran tells us, is mainly a matter of quieting the agitation in the mind. It's a simple idea, but one that goes deep - a truly calm mind can weather any storm. And we learn to calm the mind through practice - there's no magic about it. This book offers insights, stories, practical techniques, and exercises that will help us release the energy, compassion, and wisdom we need to ride the waves of life minute by minute, day by day.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Cambridge History of American Theatre is an authoritative and wide-ranging history of American theatre in all its dimensions, from theatre building to play writing, directors, performers, and designers. Engaging the theatre as a performance art, a cultural institution, and a fact of American social and political life, the History recognizes changing styles of presentation and performance and addresses the economic context that conditions the drama presented. The History approaches its subject with a full awareness of relevant developments in literary criticism, cultural analysis, and performance theory. At the same time, it is designed to be an accessible, challenging narrative. Volume One deals with the colonial inceptions of American theatre through the post-Civil War period: the European antecedents, the New World influences of the French and Spanish colonists, and the development of uniquely American traditions in tandem with the emergence of national identity.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAlthough often dismissed as a minor offshoot of the better-known German movement, expressionism on the American stage represents a critical phase in the development of American dramatic modernism. Situating expressionism within the context of early twentieth-century American culture, Walker demonstrates how playwrights who wrote in this mode were responding both to new communications technologies and to the perceived threat they posed to the embodied act of meaning. At a time when mute bodies gesticulated on the silver screen, ghostly voices emanated from tin horns, and inked words stamped out the personality of the hand that composed them, expressionist playwrights began to represent these new cultural experiences by disarticulating the theatrical languages of bodies, voices and words. In doing so, they not only innovated a new dramatic form, but redefined playwriting from a theatrical craft to a literary art form, heralding the birth of American dramatic modernism.
