"HE'S EVEN MORE HORRID THAN HENRY!" 'GROSS GEORGE' - Book 1
introduces the world to George Grubbington and his family. Right
from the start there is no mistaking that George is not necessarily
what might be termed, 'an acceptable human being'. He is GROSS!
REALLY GROSS!!! Chris Gamble's first book see's George off to
school; meeting his friends; receiving the first of that week's
detentions; him getting his revenge on Mr. Walsh, the teacher that
gave him the detention; and in turn, Mr. Walsh getting his revenge
on George, when he makes him Class-Captain. This event involves
George's hard-done-by parents insisting that he must finally take a
shower! Something absolutely, totally unheard of!!! GROSS GEORGE is
an hilarious story, packed filled with Chris White's brilliantly
comic illustrations, and is sure to attract both Middle Grade and
Reluctant Readers.
Friendship makes us fresh. And doth beget new courage in our
breasts. A new play for young people and schools, created from
Shakespeare’s works. In this wood of words, a band of newcomers
arrive to witness banishments, storms, unhappy endings, reunions,
and murder most foul... and try to make sense of it all. This
unique and thoughtful adaptation for young performers of several of
Shakespeare’s works is co-written by director Chris White and
award-winning playwright Hannah Khalil, in honour of the 400th
anniversary of the First Folio this year. The Wood of Words was
created as part of the Associate Schools Programme (the RSC’s
long term partnership programme with schools and theatre partners).
This edition was published to coincide with the Playmaking Festival
at the RSC, in July 2023.

Want a close encounter of the absurd kind? Then blast off with
these asteroides from across the looney-verse.
Leadership is not just about reading data points and asserting
corresponding action points; it is about designing an
organizational structure and culture that directly generates
desired performance results. Part of that involves understanding
internal controls (such as motivation) versus external controls
(such as policies and budgets) and making sure they cohere and
never clash. From the perspective of sets and causal chains, the
author presents a new way for leaders to view organizational
structure holistically. A website accompanies the book with models
and simulations that help map out these complex sets and
predict/analyze results.
Recent computer-based tools for project planning and management
focus on user-friendliness and interconnectivity. However, these
programs function on the Critical Path Method, or CPM, which was
created in the 1950s. These programs, which involve simplistic
models and methods, ignore the fact that the underlying
computations on which they function have become woefully inadequate
for the complex projects of today. The product of nearly a decade
of work, The Dynamic Progress Method: Using Advanced Simulation to
Improve Project Planning and Management provides an overview of the
research conducted while illustrating some of the issues with
current approaches. It presents the Dynamic Progress Method (DPM),
an innovative simulation-based approach to project management. It
also includes instructions on how to use the accompanying DPM-based
simulation tool pmBLOX to plan, manage, and analyze projects. This
groundbreaking book is a must-have resource for project planning
and management. It introduces a new and better way of planning,
estimating, and managing projects that corrects some of the
fundamental flaws of the CPM. It brings the computational integrity
of planning simulations up to speed with modern needs, making it
useful not only to current project managers but also to students
who will become project managers.
Heritage tourism is a global multi-million-dollar phenomenon,
influencing national, regional and local cultural identities. Hong
Kong finds itself at the confluence of several post-colonial
economic, political and social developments and with this comes a
greater awareness of the need for more meaningful cultural and
heritage tourism products, especially in the form of revitalised
heritage attractions. Taking a qualitative approach and using
semi-structured in-depth interviews with practitioners and
stakeholders in the field, this study explores the role of
interpretation in heritage revitalisation projects for tourism in
Hong Kong. It seeks to examine why the interpretive element of
these projects so often gets diminished during the course of
implementation and outlines five propositions that may inform it
going forward. Ultimately, the findings of this study suggest that,
as issues of local identity become ever more important in Hong
Kong, the role of interpretation in the development of its heritage
tourism products needs to be holistic, integrated and consistent
across public, private and non-governmental sectors. Developing a
framework of understanding to identify the contextual issues of
interpretation and commodification, this book will be useful to
students and scholars of tourism, heritage studies and Asian
studies more generally.

This is the first ever collection of plays by Palestinian-Irish
playwright Hannah Khalil; the first woman of Arab heritage to have
a main-stage play at the RSC. It encompasses a decade's worth of
plays exploring her Arab heritage, drawing on family histories as
well as significant events in the Arab World. They were all written
during a period that included the end of the war in Iraq, the
intensification of the occupation of Palestine and the birth and
disillusion of the so called Arab Spring. The plays included are
set in both a historical and modern context. They include a
feminist take on 1001 nights and the Scheherazade story; an
exploration of Gertrude Bell, the Museum in Baghdad and Britain's
role in the birth of the Iraq; plus two plays looking at the
Palestinian experience, one based on a family living through the
creation of the State of Israel in 1948, the other an epic collage
that moves in time from 1948 to present day. This anthology also
includes a radio play set in Dubai and a monologue about the power
and legacy of artefacts. It's notable that these plays offer a
plethora of non-stereotypical roles for actors of Arab heritage.
Through the six plays included the reader can trace a variety of
approaches to storytelling, a host of memorable characters and some
unforgettable stories. Plays include: Plan D Scenes from 73* Years
A Negotiation Museum in Baghdad Last of the Pearl Fishers Hakawatis

Chris White's hilarious take on just how hard life is for a frog!
Can you imagine having to spend your days hiding; doing your best
to avoid Fairy Tale Princesses that are determined to kiss you?
Somebody stupidly told them once, a long time ago, that if you kiss
a frog or two, chances are they will change back into Fairy Tale
Prince's who have been under a spell - WELL I'M HERE TO TELL YOU -
IT JUST ISN'T TRUE! The majority of us are all just regular frogs!
It really is a disgrace that we must spend hours, every night
wiping lipstick off our faces! Go kiss a walrus or warthog if you
want to... But whatever you do - DON'T KISS THE FROG!

Saul the Seagull lands at West Kirby Beach. He's rudely greeted by
a very disgruntled Harold the Heron and his gang of Magpies.
'Them', the Seagulls, are no longer welcome! Will Harold
successfully close the borders to gulls forever? or will Saul
finally feel the fish between his snapper and the sand between his
webbed feet? Surely all flyers can live together peacefully... Or
can they?
This interdisciplinary volume represents the first comprehensive
English-language analysis of the development of Protestant
Christianity in Xiamen from the nineteenth century to the present.
This important regional study is particularly revealing due to the
unbroken history of Sino-Christian interactions in Xiamen and the
extensive ties that its churches have maintained with global
missions and overseas Chinese Christians. Its authors draw upon a
wide range of foreign missionary and Chinese official archives,
local Xiamen church publications, and fieldwork data to historicize
the Protestant experience in the region. Further, the local
Christians' stories demonstrate a form of sociocultural, religious
and political imagination that puts into question the Euro-American
model of Christendom and the Chinese Communist-controlled
Three-Self Patriotic Movement. It addresses the localization of
Christianity, the reinvention of local Chinese Protestant identity
and heritage, and the Protestants' engagement with the society at
large. The empirical findings and analytical insights of this
collection will appeal to scholars of religion, sociology and
Chinese history.
