This book brings together the fields of theatre, gender studies,
and psychology/sociology in order to explore the relationships
between what happens when women engage in violence, how the events
and their reception intercept with cultural understandings of
gender, how plays thoughtfully depict this topic, and how their
productions impact audiences. Truthful portrayals force
consideration of both the startling reality of women's violence -
not how it's been sensationalized or demonized or sexualized, but
how it is - and what parameters, what possibilities, should exist
for its enactment in life and live theatre. These women appear in a
wide array of contexts: they are mothers, daughters, lovers,
streetfighters, boxers, soldiers, and dominatrixes. Who they are
and why they choose to use violence varies dramatically. They stage
resistance and challenge normative expectations for women. This
fascinating and balanced study will appeal to anyone interested in
gender/feminism issues and theatre.

Written by a professional musician who is also a certified
occupational therapist, Teaching Healthy Musicianship both helps
music educators avoid common injuries that they themselves
encounter and equips them with the tools they need to instill
healthy musicianship practices in their students. Author Nancy
Taylor combines her two unique skill sets to provide a model for
injury prevention that is equally cognizant of the needs of music
educators and their students. Through practical explanation of body
mechanics, ergonomics, and the performance-related health problems
and risk factors unique to musicianship, Taylor gives music
educators the tools they need to first practice healthy posture,
body mechanics, environmental safety, and ergonomics, and then to
introduce these same practices to their students. Taylor also
provides practical guidance for healthy musicianship practices in
the wrists and shoulders, the most common site of music-related
injuries. The final sections address issues of vocal and hearing
health, both of which are at high risk in music classroom
environments. Working from the dual observations that busy music
teachers sometimes overlook taking care of themselves, and that
music teachers are not always able to guide students through
instrument-related stresses, Taylor provides here a book that
addresses injury prevention for the music student and the music
educator alike. Thoroughly illustrated with 125 photographs,
Teaching Healthy Musicianship is a key resource for preservice and
inservice teachers of middle school and high school band,
orchestra, choir and general music.

Nancy Taylor Robson is one of the first women in the country to
earn a US Coast Guard license. She grew up sailing and building
boats with her father and worked as a housepainter, desk clerk and
yacht maintenance person while in college. After earning a degree
in history, she married and went to work alongside her husband as
cook/deckhand on an old 85-foot tugboat. The fear of being maimed
or lost overboard, the male opposition, and the drudgery during
seagoing tours that ranged from Maine to Florida, Bermuda, New
Orleans and Mexico was coupled with romantic sunsets, a ringside
seat on nature and an appreciation for hard won accomplishment.
Robson, one of a handful of women who paved the way for every
intrepid woman who has followed, brings that world alive. Author of
numerous articles and essays, Nancy Taylor Robson is also the
author of two novels: Course of the Waterman and A Love Like No
Other: Abigail and John Adams, A Modern Love Story.
What matters most when someone close to you has been diagnosed as
terminal? Time and quality of life for both of you. Coping with
both the practical and emotional questions of this challenging
passage. We area ll going to die one day, yet every death is
individual -- as is the walk toward that individual death both for
the one leaving and for the ones they leave behind. Focusing on
what truly matters between human beings while taking care of the
business of living at the end of life is what this book is about.
This book offers: Practical tips for coping with the physical
changes that will impact both the person and the caregiver
emotionally, physically, financially and spiritually. Advice on
what to put in place before the person dies to make things a little
easier for those they leave behind. The stories and examples of
others to let people know they are not alone Advice and tips for
those who are not going to be primary caregiver, but whole are
friends, neighbors, colleagues or any other part of the
relationships we all share in life There is no perfect way to walk
through this time in life. (There's no perfect way to walk through
all of life for that matter). But there are good ways to do it.
Focusing on what matters while taking care of the practical
business of living and dying can make this walk slightly less scary
and more rewarding for everyone. How to use this book: Browse the
chapter headings; skip around in the TIPS for ways to approach or
solve specific problems. Search the Sources lists at the end of the
chapters for additional information on a question or need. Read the
stories of others' experiences. For the co-worker, the friend and
the neighbor, this book offers advice and helpful hints on what to
say or do as well as what not to say or do. For the loved one,
spouse, and relative it's a practical guide to what you might
expect at each stage and offers realistic and reasonable coping
strategies. It includes examples born of the experience of a range
of people -- professionals in the field as well as no-professionals
like yourself -- of what you might experience on this difficult
journey. Yet, as we've said, each death is individual just as are
the relationships, personalities and personal dynamics involved in
each death. Despite the individuality of experience, there are also
issues and threads that are universal in human life. This book can
act as a practical guide, an encouraging friend, and support, and
offers hope for the best possible experience as you help to walk
someone home. Across America, 43.5 million people, (nearly one in
five adults) care for a loved one 50 or older according to AARP.
The Writers: Sue Collins has been a nurse for 38 years and a
hospice nurse for 28 years. She has the extensive experience of the
professional caregiver and has seen virtually everything at the end
of life. As much as anything this book arises out of the OMG
I-can't-believe-they-said-that/did-that moments as well as the
anger, frustration, grace and poignancy she has witnessed during
the last days of patients for whom she has cared. Nancy Taylor
Robson, author of three other books, lost her father to bone
cancer, which took approximately three years from diagnosis to
departure, and her mother-in-law to a long decline and a series of
strokes. She has sat by deathbeds and seen more than one friend
through the last months, weeks, days and hours of life and knows
that as painful a journey as this is, there can be gifts and
blessings along the way. She knows, (at least intellectually), that
none of us is getting out of here alive."
