Updating the industry standard stage rigging text for a new
generation First published in 1987 and revised in 1997 and 2007,
Stage Rigging Handbook remains the only book in any language that
covers the design, operation, and maintenance of stage rigging
equipment. Though often unnoticed, these systems are critical in
both easing the workload of stage technicians and creating
storytelling magic for the audience. This landmark text imparts the
foundations for understanding and implementing rigging systems,
such that upon completion of the book, the reader is ready to begin
hands-on training and practice. Organized into four sections, the
handbook combines research and practical experience to guide
riggers through their work. It begins by explaining the
construction and care of basic lifting media. Part two analyzes
types of rigging systems; then the handbook details the forces that
impact rigging, from Newtonian physics to calculating expansive
modern systems. Finally, it presents day-to-day best safety
practices, including brand new sections on risk assessment and fall
protection. This reorganized and greatly expanded fourth edition of
Jay O. Glerum's industry standard text updates much of the
information in the previous editions with the addition of chapters
on truss (the framework that supports lighting, screens, and other
accessories), motorized chain hoists, hardware, and job safety,
including fall protection systems. Award-winning production manager
Shane Kelly preserves Glerum's voice while bringing fresh
information to a new generation of riggers, supplementing the text
with updated versions of earlier photographs and drawings as well
as an additional one hundred illustrations. The handbook
facilitates the development of a rigging practice rooted in safety,
precision, and professionalism.

The United States, long considered to have the best higher
education in the world, now ranks eleventh in the proportion of 25-
to 34-year-olds with a college degree. As other countries have made
dramatic gains in degree attainment, the U.S. has improved more
slowly. In response, President Obama recently laid out a national
"completion agenda" with the goal of making the U.S. the
best-educated nation in the world by the year 2020. "Getting to
Graduation" explores the reforms that we must pursue to recover a
position of international leadership in higher education as well as
the obstacles to those reforms.
This new completion agenda puts increased pressure on
institutions to promote student success and improve institutional
productivity in a time of declining public revenue. In this volume,
scholars of higher education and public policymakers describe
promising directions for reform. They argue that it is essential to
redefine postsecondary education and to consider a broader range of
learning opportunities--beyond the research university and
traditional bachelor degree programs--to include community
colleges, occupational certificate programs, and apprenticeships.
The authors also emphasize the need to rethink policies governing
financial aid, remediation, and institutional funding to promote
degree completion.
Kelly Marks, who gets spectacular results in her exhibitions with the most fiery and recalcitrant of horses, says the secret is to talk to horses in their own language, establishing a relationship of trust and respect, using considerate and consistent techniques. You will find it helpful to formulate your own 'code of conduct' for your horse and while you're at it, for yourself as well, making consideration a way of life. Perfect Manners starts with the philosophy and concepts behind Kelly Marks' techniques and moves on to foundation exercises and groundwork training.
