The Tome of the Unknown Actor

By: Christine Ozanne

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Christine Ozanne? I know your face...but, um, remind me, what have I seen you in?" For 'unknown' jobbing actors, this is the most frequently asked question, and in this amusing antidote to celebrity...the perils and pleasures of being an 'unknown' are explored. Ozanne obeys her father's instructions to "go and collect some memories," as she sets off for RADA, and from her film debut in 1958 in Carry on Nurse, to the 2016 sitcom Upstart Crow, she describes many hilarious situations working with the great and the good during the past 58 years in film, theatre, radio and television. Revealing some acting clues in Shakespeare's text, Ozanne reports on the three productions at The Globe, presented by The Original Shakespeare Company, which she co-founded with her partner, Patrick Tucker. Working abroad led them to some exotic places, and the often precarious adventures are chronicled in this memoir. This thoroughly entertaining read is also a homage to every individual who has beavered away in the business without fame or fortune: The Unknown Actor.

Endurance

By: Christine Jordan

Can love prevail over prejudice in thirteenth-century England? The conclusion of the thrilling Hebraica trilogy by the author of Sacrifice and Massacre. When nine-year-old Henry, son of King John, is hastily crowned, the Jewish community is hopeful. But life isn’t always kind . . . Against a backdrop of rising persecution, Mirabelle, a fiery Jewish woman, is determined to succeed with the help of her son, Bonanfaunt. Slowly, Mirabelle and her family climb the ranks and replace another family as leaders of their community. But as the years pass, life for a Jewish person remains extremely difficult. And when further draconian restrictions are imposed upon the livelihoods of the community, doubts are raised about whether they can survive in this increasingly hostile world. Will they be chased out of Gloucester for good, or can they endure the storm?

Children With Cancer

The Quality of Life

By: Christine Eiser

Cancer is a very rare disease in children. There have been impressive gains in survival in recent years, and these have been achieved through the use of chemotherapy and national and international clinical trials. The diagnosis of cancer in a child imposes considerable stress on the whole family. In the immediate time after diagnosis, parents must learn about the disease and its treatment, explain what is happening to the child, and make arrangements for the care of other children in the family. For the child, treatment is associated with many side effects depending on the specific drugs used. In addition, the child is prone to infection and therefore is likely to miss a lot of school and other activities. For all these reasons, physicians and families have become aware that cancer has huge implications for the quality of the child's life. This book is an attempt to describe how quality of life is affected at different stages of the disease process. Comprehensive reviews are provided of the impact on the child's physical activity, social life, and school and educational achievements. Special consideration is given to children with leukemia (one of the more common cancers) and brain tumors. Cancer does not just affect the child but every member of the family. Consequently there is coverage of the effects on parents and also healthy brothers and sisters. To the extent that improvements in survival have been achieved by national and international collaboration between clinicians, it is concluded that efforts to improve the quality of these children's lives is dependent on collaboration between clinicians, nurses, and behavioral scientists at national and international levels. This book should provide an impetus for such collaboration.

Hidden Heroes

America's Military Caregivers

By: Rajeev Ramchand,Terri Tanielian,Michael P. Fisher,Christine Anne Vaughan,Caroline Epley,Thomas Trail,Phoenix Voorhies,Michael William Robbins,Eric Robinson,Bonnie Ghosh-Dastidar

While much has been written about the role of caregiving for the elderly and chronically ill and for children with special needs, little is known about "military caregivers" -- the population of those who care for wounded, ill, and injured military personnel and veterans. These caregivers play an essential role in caring for injured or wounded service members and veterans. This enables those for whom they are caring to live better quality lives, and can result in faster and improved rehabilitation and recovery. Yet playing this role can impose a substantial physical, emotional, and financial toll on caregivers. This report summarizes the results of a study designed to describe the magnitude of military caregiving in the United States today, as well as to identify gaps in the array of programs, policies, and initiatives designed to support military caregivers. Improving military caregivers' well-being and ensuring their continued ability to provide care will require multifaceted approaches to reducing the current burdens caregiving may impose, and bolstering their ability to serve as caregivers more effectively. Given the systematic differences among military caregiver groups, it is also important that tailored approaches meet the unique needs and characteristics of post-9/11 caregivers."--Abstract.

Planning, the Market and Private Housebuilding

By: Glen Bramley,Will Bartlett,Christine Lambert

Planning, the market and private housebuilding" is a timely new book which analyzes key contemporary issues in the light of the latest research findings and trends in policy and practice. The relationship between land- use planning and the housebuilding industry in Britain has long been characterized by intense debate and conflicting priorities about land supply. The experience of the late 1980s and the early 1990s has made national policy-makers and economic analysts aware of the crucial importance of the housing market for the whole economy, and has once more put planning in the spotlight. At the same time, planning itself is undergoing significant changes, and has been given a new "mission" in terms of the environmental agenda, which may be in some tension with the needs of the housing economy. The artificial boundaries between housing and planning have also been broken down by recent developments linking planning and social housing and stressing the "enabling" role of housing authorities.; The authors are based in leading research and teaching centres for planning and housing, and they combine expertise in housing policy and finance, industrial economics and organization, and town & country planning. The book builds on several important local and national research studies undertaken for the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, but draws on a wider range of other work, literature and practice to give a rounded view of the field.; The book grapples directly with some of the biggest issues: How sluggish is the housebuilding industry in responding to demand? How much does planning affect house prices? What would happen if we scrapped the Green Belt? Do planning policies get implemented? Do planning agreements for affordable housing make sense? What would happen if mortgage interest tax relief were abolished? The book is aimed at interested lay readers, those involved professionally in the housing, development, and planning fields, and at students of planning, construction, housing, geography, economics, social policy and related disciplines. While centred on the experience of the UK the authors bring to bear their knowledge of comparative experience and research in a range of other countries including North America and Europe.; Glen Bramley, a specialist on housing and public finance, is a Reader in the School for Advanced Urban Studies SAUS at the University of Bristol; he was Deputy Director of SAUS for 1990--92. Will Bartlett is a Research Fellow at SAUS , having lectured in economics the the universities of Southampton, Bristol and Bath. Christine Lambert is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Town and Country Planning at the University of the West of England, Bristol, and she spacializes on planning and local government issues.

Social Marketing

From Tunes to Symphonies

By: Gerard Hastings,Christine Domegan

Social Marketing involves the application of marketing techniques (usually associated with promoting consumption) to social ends. Beyond this simple definition, social marketing offers an alternative to the standard Western economic model of consumption at all costs. This popular introductory textbook has been updated to provide greater depth on marketing theory, more on branding, co-creation of value, Community Based Prevention Marketing (CBPM) and the vital role of critical thinking. In addition, the communications chapter is extended and radically updated to include much more on digital media. The rise of corporate social responsibility is also critically analysed. The subject of social marketing is brought to life with the integration of case studies from across the world to provide a textbook which is required reading for students at advanced undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

Beyond the Snow

The Life and Faith of Elizabeth Goudge

By: Christine Rawlins

This is a much-needed study of a remarkable life. Elizabeth Goudge was not only a sensitive and acute artist in fiction, but a profoundly insightful commentator on the processes of growing up spiritually and morally. She fully deserves the kind of sympathetic and appreciative exploration provided by this book. Rowan Williams, 104th Archbishop of Canterbury Elizabeth Goudge once said she had done no exciting things - none of the wonderful things that some people do. Yet her achievement was wonderful. From the stuff of her own life even the hard things like depression and nervous breakdown, even the Christian faith that upheld her throughout she created best-selling books that were read, worldwide, throughout the forty years of her career and are still being read today. J.K. Rowling has said that her favourite childhood book was The Little White Horse - recently filmed as The Secret of Moonacre. Beyond the Snow is an appreciation of Miss Goudges life and work that attempts to look beyond her memoires, by linking them to her books and letters and the recollections of family and friends. It examines in particular her Christian faith and its illuminating influence on everything she did, and was. As Alan Walton said, reviewing The Joy of the Snow there is nobody like her.

The Girl Who Reads on the Métro

A Novel

By: Christine Féret-Fleury

“With a cast of characters reminiscent of the French film Amélie, Féret-Fleury creates a world that is delightful and enchanting...Light and sweet as a bonbon, this little confection of a book is delicious.” —Kirkus Reviews For fans of Amélie and The Little Paris Bookshop, a modern fairytale about a French woman whose life is turned upside down when she meets a reclusive bookseller and his young daughter. Juliette leads a perfectly ordinary life in Paris, working a slow office job, dating a string of not-quite-right men, and fighting off melancholy. The only bright spots in her day are her métro rides across the city and the stories she dreams up about the strangers reading books across from her: the old lady, the math student, the amateur ornithologist, the woman in love, the girl who always tears up at page 247. One morning, avoiding the office for as long as she can, Juliette finds herself on a new block, in front of a rusty gate wedged open with a book. Unable to resist, Juliette walks through, into the bizarre and enchanting lives of Soliman and his young daughter, Zaide. Before she realizes entirely what is happening, Juliette agrees to become a passeur, Soliman’s name for the booksellers he hires to take stacks of used books out of his store and into the world, using their imagination and intuition to match books with readers. Suddenly, Juliette’s daydreaming becomes her reality, and when Soliman asks her to move in to their store to take care of Zaide while he goes away, she has to decide if she is ready to throw herself headfirst into this new life. Big-hearted, funny, and gloriously zany, The Girl Who Reads on the Métro is a delayed coming-of-age story about a young woman who dares to change her life, and a celebration of the power of books to unite us all.

The Actor's Survival Handbook

By: Patrick Tucker,Christine Ozanne

Worried about short rehearsal time? Think that fluffing your lines will be the end of your career? Are you afraid you'll be typecast? Is there such a thing as acting too much? How should a stage actor adjust performance for a camera? And how should an actor behave backstage? The Actor's Survival Handbook gives you answers to all these questions and many more. Written with verve and humor, this utterly essential tool speaks to every actor's deepest concerns. Drawing upon their years of experience on stage, backstage, and with the camera, Patrick Tucker and Christine Ozanne offer forthright advice on topics from breathing to props, commitment to learning lines, audience response to simply landing the job in the first place. The book is rich with examples - both technical and inspirational. And because a director and an actor won't always agree, the two writers sometimes even offer alternative responses to a dilemma, giving the reader both an actor's take and a director's take on a particular point. Like Patrick Tucker's Secrets of Screen Acting, this new book is written with wit and passion, conveying the authors' powerful conviction that success is within every actor's grasp.

Christine Bourdette: Riddles, Bunnyheads and Asides is a 76-page book with numerous full color reproductions. Linda Brady Tesner, curator of the Hoffman Gallery at Lewis & Clark College, has written an essay for the book that beautifully tracks and elucidates Bourdette's themes and formal explorations since 1987. In an effort to provide readers with a fuller understanding of the scope of Bourdette's work, we have chosen to include illustrations not only of works in the exhibition but also of those that we were not able to include due to space limitations.--Art Gym.
