Theatres of Learning Disability

Good, Bad, or Plain Ugly?

By: Matt Hargrave

Winner of the TaPRA New Career Research in Theatre/Performance Prize 2016 This is the first scholarly book to focus exclusively on theatre and learning disability as theatre, rather than advocacy or therapy. Hargrave provocatively realigns the - hitherto unvoiced - assumptions that underpin such practice and proposes that learning disabled artists have earned the right to full critical review.

Inventing a Space Mission

The Story of the Herschel Space Observatory

By: Vincent Minier,Roger-Maurice Bonnet,Vincent Bontems,Thijs de Graauw,Matt Griffin,Frank Helmich,Göran Pilbratt,Sergio Volonte

This book describes prominent technological achievements within a very successful space science mission: the Herschel space observatory. Focusing on the various processes of innovation it offers an analysis and discussion of the social, technological and scientific context of the mission that paved the way to its development. It addresses the key question raised by these processes in our modern society, i.e.: how knowledge management of innovation set the conditions for inventing the future? In that respect the book is based on a transdisciplinary analysis of the programmatic complexity of Herschel, with inputs from space scientists, managers, philosophers, and engineers. This book is addressed to decision makers, not only in space science, but also in other industries and sciences using or building large machines. It is also addressed to space engineers and scientists as well as students in science and management.

Atlas of Imagined Places

from Lilliput to Gotham City

By: Matt Brown,Rhys B. Davies

WINNER, Edward Stanford Travel Writing Awards 2022: Illustrated Travel Book of the Year. HIGHLY COMMENDED, British Cartographic Society Awards 2022. From Stephen King's Salem's Lot to the superhero land of Wakanda, from Lilliput of Gulliver's Travels to Springfield in The Simpsons, this is a wondrous atlas of imagined places around the world. Locations from film, tv, literature, myths, comics and video games are plotted in a series of beautiful vintage-looking maps. The maps feature fictional buildings, towns, cities and countries plus mountains and rivers, oceans and seas. Ever wondered where the Bates Motel was based? Or Bedford Falls in It's a Wonderful Life? The authors have taken years to research the likely geography of thousands of popular culture locations that have become almost real to us. Sometimes these are easy to work out, but other times a bit of detective work is needed and the authors have been those detectives. By looking at the maps, you'll find that the revolution at Animal Farm happened next to Winnie the Pooh's home. Each location has an an extended index entry plus coordinates so you can find it on the maps. Illuminating essays accompanying the maps give a great insight into the stories behind the imaginary places, from Harry Potter's wizardry to Stone Age Bedrock in the Flintstones. A stunning map collection of invented geography and topography drawn from the world's imagination. Fascinating and beautiful, this is an essential book for any popular culture fan and map enthusiast.

Dead Horse Creek

By: Matt Cole

Chet Hargraves hadn't planned on staying long when he rode into the small Montana town of Dead Horse Creek. He was just a ranch hand, line rider with no work between seasons, trapped by a pending blizzard before he could leave. But even before he had arrived his past had caught up with him. Perhaps he should have braved the blizzard and left as he was told to do. Chet Hargraves hated to be told what to do. It became even tougher to leave when he saw Beth again. She was the woman he's loved for so long, though she had said she could not love a gunfighter. These weren't the best reasons to stay around yet they were all he had. Chet did not realize - yet - that the reason he was told to leave was a big range war was brewing. The war was to be fought with hired guns and killers, some of the best and worst the West had seen. Chet was one of them, albeit knowingly. Before long Chet was going to see to it that this war was ended. It would be fought here in a small Montana town along the Dead Horse Creek.

POLARIZE: Fast-Track Marketing For Growth Hackers

By: Matt Cumming

POLARIZE is marketing reframed, reconsidered and reinvented - modern marketing wizardry - an enchantment that captivates and converts best-match consumers to brand-lovers and public advocates. HEY. You might hate this - great... Otherwise, you're probably going to feel pretty damn buzzed about the POLARIZE approach. And that's the point really. The love/hate response is powerful. It's HIGHLY motivating. It makes people do stuff. They take sides and talk about it. Whereas, the "yeah, well, I guess that looks nice" response is not really a response at all. Fence-sitters don't buy your stuff. What do you want - for people to like you (boring!), or for people to LOVE you? The 'lovers' (advocates) SHARE more, BUY more and their enthusiasm is contagious. Even the 'haters' (detractors) share WAY more than your fence-sitters. POLARIZE will show you how to get a whole lot more 'lovers' (and a few huggable haters too) - it's a serious fast-track marketing 'growth hack' for your business.
