Shared Laughter

Memories of Same Time, Next Year; The Partridge Family; Tribute; The Flying Nun; Bewitched; and Other Laughing Matters

By: Bernard Slade

Same Time, Next Year is arguably the most successful romantic comedy ever to grace the stage. Most people think that it was written by Neil Simon. It wasn't, of course. It was penned by one of Canada's most successful playwrights and scriptwriters, Bernard Slade, who recounts this and many other hilarious anecdotes in his infectiously readable memoir, Shared Laughter. Born to British parents in central Canada, Slade split his childhood between Britain and Canada. Trained as an actor, he began with the Crest Theatre in Toronto before striking out for Hollywood where, as a writer, he left his mark on some of the most successful TV comedy of the era. In his Burbank years, Slade was responsible for the development and writing of The Partridge Family, The Flying Nun and Bewitched, among many others. But in 1974, with the surprise hit of Same Time, Next Year, Slade returned to his first love - writing for the stage. He went on to write Tribute and a number of other successful (and some unsuccessful) plays. Here, in Shared Laughter, he gives us the highs and lows of production and fame, the people he has known and his fascinating insights into the art of writing comedy. We meet Jack Lemmon and Ellen Burstyn, Alan Alda and Bea Arthur. We are taken to the nail-biting jitters of a Broadway opening and shown the brutal opportunism that is Hollywood. Along the way, we are treated to witty and wicked anecdotes of people and their foibles, famous and obscure. Great show-biz memoirs rarely come along. This is one of them.

The Decoys

A Tale of Three Atlantic Convoys, 1942

By: Bernard Edwards

In November 1942, Britain and America launched Operation TORCH, the ambitious invasion of French North Africa. ÊÊÊÊÊ To convey 70,000 troops and their equipment required 600 merchant ships crossing the U-boat infested North Atlantic. The need for their protection meant withdrawing escorts from the routine convoys.Ê Amongst those left without adequate defence were RB 1 and SC 107, both eastbound from America, and SL 125, northbound from Freetown.Ê All three were at sea at the same time as the TORCH convoys.

My Dear BB ...

The Letters of Bernard Berenson and Kenneth Clark, 1925-1959

By: Bernard Berenson

In 1925, the 22-year-old Kenneth Clark (1903–1983) and the legendary art critic and historian Bernard Berenson (1865–1959) met in Italy. From that moment, they began a correspondence that lasted until Berenson's death at age 94. This book makes available, for the first time, the complete correspondence between two of the most influential figures in the 20th-century art world, and gives a new and unique insight into their lives and motivations. The letters are arranged into ten chronological sections, each accompanied by biographical details and providing the context for the events and personalities referred to. They were both talented letter writers: informative, spontaneous, humorous, gossipy, and in their frequent letters they exchanged news and views about art and politics, friends and family life, collectors, connoisseurship, discoveries, books read and written, and travel. Berenson advised Clark on his blossoming career, warning against the museum and commercial art worlds while encouraging his promise as a writer and interpreter of the arts. Above all, these letters trace the development of a deep and intimate friendship.

Well-Architectured Fluoropolymers: Synthesis, Properties and Applications

By: Bruno Ameduri,Bernard Boutevin

Because of the increasing need for ever better performing materials endowed with specific properties, macromolecular engineering has become a useful tool for designing well-architectured polymers (telomers, telechelics, stars, dendrimers, alternating, block- and graftcopolymers). These polymers are nowadays seeing an enormous growth. Among them, fluoropolymers are seen as high value added materials in many applications ranging from surfactants, optical fibers, biomaterials, coatings, to membranes for fuel cells. Indeed, the relationship between structure of the monomer to the properties of the polymers is of increasing interest so that these properties are tuned for the most appropriate applications. As most fluoropolymers are prepared from radical synthesis, this book devotes various parts on the use of the controlled radical (or pseudo-living) polymerisation of fluoromonomers leading to discoveries of thermoplastic elastomers or original surfactants for polymerisation in supercritical CO2. Well-Architectured Fluoropolymers: Synthesis, Properties and Applications is composed of five chapters starting with a general introduction outlining basic concepts. Emphasis is placed on recent developments, and each chapter describes comprehensive techniques of synthesis of well-defined fluorotelomers or polymers, their properties, characterisations, and their applications, for immediate use by today's engineers, industrial and academic scientists, and researchers. The book has been arranged to enable self-managed reading and learning. It is both a source of data and a reference. - On the synthesis, properties and applications of fluoropolymers: remarkable, high value added materials applied in surfactants, optical fibres, biomaterials, coatings and membranes for fuel cells - For immediate use by today's engineers, industrial and academic scientists, and researchers - Written to enable self-managed reading and learning, being both a source of data and a reference

Modernism's History

Modernism's History

A Study in Twentieth-century Art and Ideas

By: Bernard Smith

The history of twentieth-century visual arts can no longer be written as a succession of avant-garde movements, contends eminent art historian Bernard Smith in this stimulating book. He argues that a return to the concept of period style is inevitable and that modernism--the dominant "style" of art that emerged at the end of the nineteenth century and continued through the 1960s--deserves recognition as a period style. Smith renames this period Formalesque since it is no longer modern and since it emphasizes the formal values of art more than any previous period does. In a wide-ranging reformulation of art history in the twentieth century, the author defines the nature and development of Formalesque--an avant-garde style that arose between 1890 and the First World War, was institutionalized between the world wars, and flourished anew between 1945 and 1960. Identifying the Formalesque period, says Smith, makes it possible also to identify dialectical adversaries, such true oppositional avant-garde styles of the twentieth century as Dada, Surrealism, and the Neue Sachlichkeit. These constitute the formative elements of the modernism--now called postmodernism--that became increasingly dominant after 1960. The author locates twentieth-century artistic movements and developments in a broad cultural context and concludes with a thought-provoking examination of the relation between the Formalesque and European and American cultural imperialism.

Beyond East and West

Memoirs, Portraits and Essays

By: Bernard Leach

In our time, Bernard Leach has done for pottery what Henry Moore has done for scuplture. This... infinitely rewarding book is an account of his pilgrimage through life.' Times Bernard Leach (1887-1979) was as renowned in Japan and the East as in Europe and America, both as an artist-craftsman and as a thinker. His interpretation of the traditions of the Orient in the making of pots - and in evolving a philosophy of life - was a lodestar for many potters in the West. Beyond East and West, first published in 1978, is more than an autobiography. Full of sharply-etched and amusing recollections, it contains much of Leach's deeper thought and a great deal too about the practical application of his ideas. Its recurrent theme is the meeting of East and West at all levels - artistic, cultural, social, political.
