From the popular men's website AskMen.com comes a lively and practical guide to sex and the art of picking up women, the first installment of a three-part series. This guide takes readers through every step of the mating ritual, from approaching the woman one wishes to take home to dazzling her once you get her there. Broken up into Rules of Picking-up and Mating, "Askmen.Com Guide to Sex" begins by helping men learn the fundamentals of confidence and conversation, adapt to different pick-up environments be it the bar or the office, and create the type of setting at home that won't repel your prospective partner. The guide goes on to instruct men on the virtues of foreplay, how to meet a woman's expectations in the bedroom and how to distinguish yourself from the other men she's been with. Additionally, the book offers options for different locations where the deed can be done, and how to leave her like a gentleman, or cover your trail, according to circumstance. With tasteful line drawings and a friendly, humorous tone, this book is essential reading for the novice who wants to enter the game or the player who wants to polish his techniques.

'Every day, thousands of women enter acting classes where most of them will receive some variation on the Stanislavsky-based training that has now been taught in the U.S. for nearly ninety years. Yet relatively little feminist consideration has been given to the experience of the student actress: What happens to women in Method actor training?'

An Actress Prepares is the first book to interrogate Method acting from a specifically feminist perspective. Rose Malague addresses "the Method" not only with much-needed critical distance, but also the crucial insider's view of a trained actor. Case studies examine the preeminent American teachers who popularized and transformed elements of Stanislavsky s System within the U.S. Strasberg, Adler, Meisner, and Hagen by analyzing and comparing their related but distinctly different approaches.

This book confronts the sexism that still exists in actor training and exposes the gender biases embedded within the Method itself. Its in-depth examination of these Stanislavskian techniques seeks to reclaim Method acting from its patriarchal practices and to empower women who act.

'I've been waiting for someone to write this book for years: a thorough-going analysis and reconsideration of American approaches to Stanislavsky from a feminist perspective ... lively, intelligent, and engaging.' Phillip Zarrilli, University of Exeter

'Theatre people of any gender will be transformed by Rose Malague s eye-opening study An Actress Prepares... This book will be useful to all scholars and practitioners determined to make gender equity central to how they hone their craft and their thinking.' Jill Dolan, Princeton University
