A vital companion for actors in rehearsal - a thesaurus of
action-words to revitalise performance Actors need actions. They
cannot 'act' adjectives, they need verbs: they need an aim to
achieve, an action to perform. 'Actions' are active verbs. 'I tempt
you.' 'You taunt me.' In order to perform an action truthfully and
therefore convincingly, an actor needs to find exactly the right
action to suit that particular situation and that particular line.
That is where this book comes in...It is a thesaurus of active
verbs, with which the actor can refine the action-word until s/he
hits exactly the right one to help make the action come alive. It
looks like this: taunt insult, tease, torment, provoke, ridicule,
mock, poke, needle tempt influence, attract, entice, cajole, coax,
seduce, lure, fascinate It is well known in the acting community
that random lists of action-words circulate rehearsal rooms in
dog-eared photocopies - as a sort of actor's crib. This book makes
them available for the first time in an organised and comprehensive
form.

Gardening can be frustratingly shrouded in secrecy. Fickle plants
make seemingly spontaneous decisions to bloom or bust, seeds sprout
magically in the blink of an eye, and deep-rooted mysteries unfold
underground and out of sight. Understanding basic botany is like
unlocking a horticultural code; fortunately learning a little
science can reveal the secrets of the botanical universe and shed
some light on what's really going on in your garden.
"Practical Botany for Gardeners" provides an elegant and accessible
introduction to the world of botany. It presents the essentials
that every gardener needs to know, connecting explanations of
scientific facts with useful gardening tips. Flip to the roots
section and you'll not only learn how different types of roots
support a plant but also find that adding fungi to soil aids
growth. The pruning section both defines "lateral buds" and
explains how far back on a shoot to cut in order to propagate them.
The book breaks down key areas and terminology with
easy-to-navigate chapters arranged by theme, such as plant types,
plant parts, inner workings, and external factors. "Great
Botanists" and "Botany in Action" boxes delve deeper into the
fascinating byways of plant science. This multifaceted book also
includes two hundred botanical illustrations and basic diagrams
that hearken to the classic roots of botany.
Part handbook, part reference, "Practical Botany for Gardeners" is
a beautifully captivating read. It's a must for garden lovers and
backyard botanists who want to grow and nurture their own plant
knowledge.

In this beautifully illustrated and fully updated edition, Charles
Phillips charts the complete history of the royal families of
Britain. Beginning in the earliest times with the legend of King
Arthur, Eric Bloodaxe and the real-life history of Macbeth, he
describes the lives and legends of the kings and queens of Britain,
their consorts and children, and the pretenders, usurpers and
regents who played a role in the making of the United Kingdom. Fact
boxes highlight the essential events of each reign, as well as
maps, charts and family trees. Over 500 fine art paintings,
sculptures, engravings, artefacts, photographs, maps and
illustrations reveal the heritage and pageantry of royal Britain. A
valuable reference book for any historian, this guide will
fascinate every reader interested in one of the longest-running
monarchies in the world.
Informative and eye-opening, the Handbook on Religion in China
provides a uniquely broad insight into the contemporary Chinese
variations of Buddhism, Islam and Christianity. In turn, China's
own religions of Daoism, of filial piety and transmissions of rites
have spread beyond China, a progression that is explored in detail
across 19 chapters, written by leading experts in the field.
Utilising a historical focus to emphasize developments and
highlight the transformations of ritual practices, festivals,
divination and traditions, this Handbook deals with the emergence
of new attitudes to selfhood and the great diversity of civic and
other rituals. Traditional ways of forming relationships and
conducting life-cycle rituals are also considered. This
comprehensive Handbook investigates the ways in which all of these
changes are affected by governmental controls that have intriguing
unintended consequences. Providing a solid introduction for both
newcomers and informed readers, this Handbook will be a key
resource for sociologists and anthropologists of ritual and
religion as well as students of religious studies, contemporary
Chinese studies and the sociology of religion. With extensive
references to assist readers wishing to further deepen their
understanding this Handbook will also be of interest to historians
and individuals interested in contemporary China. Contributors

Recent trends in the social, economic and political lives of many
communities have created new challenges for the not-for-profit
sector, which, in turn, have demanded new legal and regulatory
responses. This Research Handbook takes account of these
developments, providing a thorough insight to current scholarship
in the field of not-for-profit law. Contributions from both
established and emerging scholars reflect a variety of disciplinary
and jurisdictional perspectives. A range of topics relating to the
not-for-profit sector are explored, including: the sector?s
composition and scope, the legal conception of charity, the tax
treatment of not-for-profits and their supporters, and the
regulation of not-for-profits. The Research Handbook also examines
the often-neglected topic of not-for-profits and the constitution.
This interdisciplinary Research Handbook makes a seminal
contribution to defining not-for-profit law as a distinctive field
of study, and in doing so, lays a strong foundation for future
research. Scholars working on not-for-profit studies, whether in
law, economics, sociology, philosophy, political science or
business management, will find this a compelling body of work as it
covers all aspects of not-for-profit law. Those working within the
sector, or providing legal advice to the sector, will also find
this Research Handbook to be an indispensable source of
information. Contributors: R. Atkinson, J. Beard, O.B. Breen, E.

In this book, first published in 1940, Leonard Woolf lays out the
necessity for the establishment of a system providing for the rule
of international law and cooperation, control of international
power and collective defence against international aggression. He
lays bare the issues at stake in the Second World War and draws
lines on which a lasting peace could be framed.
This book, first published in 1968, analyses Winston Churchill’s
war years using a wide range of little-consulted sources to give us
a full and round picture of a prime minister beloved by many but
disliked by others. Contemporary accounts and opinions bring us
close to the reality of the man, and in doing so give us also a
picture of a nation struggling with total war.
This timely Research Handbook provides a comprehensive overview and
discussion of the substantive competition law provisions of the
ASEAN Plus Three region, including Hong Kong and Taiwan. Taking a
unique comparative perspective, chapters examine Asian competition
laws in relation to the existing laws that served as models for
them, analysing how and why they deviate. Expert contributions from
both scholars and practitioners provide insight into the complex
development of competition law in the region taking into account
the growing number of competition law models, changing views on law
convergence, enforcement practice and the progression of economic
thought. Chapters highlight and explore the special features of
these laws as a result, as well as draw conclusions on the
perceptions of competition law in different ASEAN member states.
Academics in law, economics and public policy with an interest in
competition law, both in Asia and more broadly, will find this
Research Handbook's insights invaluable. Legal practitioners and
policy makers will also find its examination of the major issues in
the competition law of the region useful. Contributors include:

Within a few short years, fiber optics has skyrocketed from an
interesting laboratory experiment to a billion-dollar industry. But
with such meteoric growth and recent, exciting advances, even
references published less than five years ago are already out of
date. The Fiber Optics Illustrated Dictionary fills a gap in the
literature by providing instructors, hobbyists, and top-level
engineers with an accessible, current reference. From the author of
the best-selling Telecommunications Illustrated Dictionary, this
comprehensive reference includes fundamental physics, basic
technical information for fiber splicing, installation,
maintenance, and repair, and follow-up information for
communications and other professionals using fiber optic
components. Well-balanced, well-researched, and extensively
cross-referenced, it also includes hundreds of photographs, charts,
and diagrams that clarify the more complex ideas and put simpler
ideas into their applications context. Fiber optics is a vibrant
field, not just in terms of its growth and increasing
sophistication, but also in terms of the people, places, and
details that make up this challenging and rewarding industry. In
addition to furnishing an authoritative, up-to-date resource for
relevant industry definitions, this dictionary introduces many
exciting recent applications as well as hinting at emerging future
technologies.
