The Accidental Jibe and Other Stories

By: Alex Diaz

Until the nineteen sixties, proper young women were raised to remain virgins until marriage, to be good mothers and wives, and to depend on husbands for status and economic survival. With the feminist movement, women began to understand they could make decisions regarding their own destiny. Women liked it that they could be equal to men in domestic and public life. Many worked hard to earn that equality. Yet certain issues remain universal - love, controlling partners, career, motherhood and aging - subjects of the stories in this book. Equality, however, has brought its kinks to the story. Join author Barbara Wolfenden in The Accidental Jibe to explore how women might handle common and not-so-common problems. You will be surprised. "These relationship stories are fast-paced and written with beautiful language." Judy Osborne, Author, Wisdom for Separated Parents: Rearranging Around the Children to Keep Kinship Strong (Praeger, 2011)

Inclusive Innovation

By: Robyn Klingler-Vidra,Alex Glennie,Courtney Savie Lawrence

Innovation offers potential: to cure diseases, to better connect people, and to make the way we live and work more efficient and enjoyable. At the same time, innovation can fuel inequality, decimate livelihoods, and harm mental health. This book contends that inclusive innovation – innovation motivated by environmental and social aims – is able to uplift the benefits of innovation while reducing its harms. The book provides accessible engagement with inclusive innovation happening at the grassroots level through to policy arenas, with a focus on the South-East Asian region. Focusing on fundamental questions underpinning innovation, in terms of how, what and where, it argues that inclusive innovation has social processes and low-tech solutions as essential means of driving innovation, and that environmental concerns must be considered alongside societal aims. The book's understanding of inclusive innovation posits that marginalized or underrepresented innovators are empowered to include themselves by solving a problem that they are experiencing. The first in-depth exploration of efforts underway to assuage inequality from policy, private sector, and grassroots perspectives, this book will interest researchers in the areas of innovation studies, political economy, and development studies. Chapters 1 and 5 of this book are available for free in PDF format as Open Access from the individual product page at www.routledge.com.

By: Alex Raynham

A level 3 Oxford Bookworms Library graded reader. This version includes an audio book: listen to the story as you read. Written for Learners of English by Alex Raynham. You're fast asleep, and nothing is happening. Or is it? In fact, your body is hard at work. Your lungs are taking oxygen from the air, and your heart is pumping blood round your body. Millions of pieces of information are travelling backwards and forwards to your brain all the time. Muscles are repairing themselves, and in your lymph nodes special cells are cleaning germs and waste from the body. You may think that nothing is happening, but in the extraordinary machine that is the human body, it is very busy indeed . . .

Billy McNeill

In Praise of Caesar

By: Alex Gordon

What makes a great player? He’s the one who brings out the best in others. When I am saying that I’m talking about Billy McNeill. - JOCK STEIN A unique tribute to Celtic’s greatest ever player. With his entire playing career spent at Celtic, Billy McNeill made 790 appearances between 1958 and 1975, winning the European Cup, 9 Scottish League Championships, 7 Scottish Cups and 6 League Cups. From his 1958 debut against Clyde to the momentous years as player and manager, Billy’s breathtaking journey through the beautiful game – the highs, the lows, the triumphs, the tears – is celebrated here. Celtic’s Chief Executive Peter Lawwell pays his own special tribute to the Parkhead hero along with a Who’s Who of the game’s royalty. They offer unforgettable experiences and wonderful memories of playing with and against Billy McNeill, one of world football’s best-loved men. In Praise of Caesar is a must-read for all Billy McNeill and Celtic fans, and football supporters everywhere.

The Actor’s Workbook

A Practical Guide to Training, Rehearsing and Devising + Video

By: Alex Clifton

The Actor's Workbook is an essential workbook for actors, actors in training and teachers of acting and drama. The workbook and video provide a clear, step-by-step guide to learning techniques in acting. The book presents a system of exercises which will develop core acting skills, offers techniques for developing an authored role and models for devising new work. These techniques are based on the practices of Konstantin Stanislavski and his recent theatrical descendants including Uta Hagen, Sanford Meisner, Michael Chekhov and others. The exercises in the book are outlined in a student-centred approach, offering not only in-class exercises, but also pre-class exercises, educational frameworks, teaching-tips, suggested texts through which to apply the work, follow-up exercises and suggestions for further reading in each chapter. Enabling and guiding the actor's sustainable, communicable, believable transformation into an imagined reality, this workbook is filled with powerful and precise acting tools, each underpinned by a rigorous and well-explained philosophy of practice. The Actor's Workbook includes video of the author teaching the exercises, with professional actors demonstrating the techniques to be learned.
