Performance as Research (PAR) is characterised by an extraordinary
elasticity and interdisciplinary drive. Performance as Research:
Knowledge, Methods, Impact celebrates this energy, bringing
together chapters from a wide range of disciplines and eight
different countries. This volume focuses explicitly on three
critical, often contentious themes that run through much discussion
of PaR as a discipline: Knowledge - the areas and manners in which
performance can generate knowledge Methods - methods and
methodologies for approaching performance as research Impact - a
broad understanding of the impact of this form of research These
themes are framed by four essays from the book's editors,
contextualising their interrelated conversations, teasing out
common threads, and exploring the new questions that the
contributions pose to the field of performance. As both an
intervention into and extension of current debates, this is a vital
collection for any reader concerned with the value and legitimacy
of performance as research.

Bruce Barton's 1925 effort to reconfigure Jesus for the Roaring
Twenties turned into one of the great best-sellers of the century.
In The Man Nobody Knows, Barton depicted Christ as a man's man, not
the meek, effeminate figure he had encountered in Sunday School. No
Puritan or Prohibitionist, this Jesus turned water into wine and
was "the most popular dinner guest in Jerusalem." Here was the
world's first advertising man, whose parables sparkled as models
for modern jingle writers. (Barton had co-founded the celebrated
advertising firm of Batten, Barton, Durstine and Osborne.) Here was
Christ, the world's greatest business executive, who "picked up
twelve men from the bottom ranks of business and forged them into
an organization that conquered the world." When in the 1950s Barton
felt compelled to revise his often-reprinted book for a new
generation, he blurred its focus. In this new edition, the
historian Richard Fried revives the primary source in Barton's
original language. Mr. Fried explores the book's rich insights into
the culture of the 1920s, revealing not only the union of religion
and business but changing attitudes toward consumption and leisure,
sexuality and the roles of men and women.
Pieces of A Presidential Mind is a humorous fictional
auto-biographical look back at the life of a man who decides to
write his memoirs on his 100th birthday in 2065. Through his
memoir, the man tells the best stories of his life according to
himself with the goal of setting the record straight. He tells
tales about ancestors, about childhood fun and growing up in Ohio,
about how he grew up when he accidentally enlisted in the military
at the age of 17, about his service at a time of war and most
important of all he tells the story of how he became the 45th
President of the United States of America and what he did as the
President. By the end of the book the reader discovers just how
this was all possible.
Imagine a mirror broken into dozens of pieces-each piece a poem
that needs the others to be complete and whole again. The Book of
Baruchio is such a mirror, and like any mirror it reflects back
upon the one who looks into it. These touching and often humorous
poems are a delight to read. They start in the heart, reach into
the mind, and travel all the way up to the soul. I've had the
privilege of witnessing many of the events that led to the creation
of these poems. Reading them was a journey into my past, but at the
deepest level this collection is a journey into each of our
futures. -Rabbi David Zaslow, author of Thou Shalt Wander and,
forthcoming, Jesus, First-Century Rabbi
The first and only International Body Designer, Stephen Hercy, AKA
Dr. Fitness USA, reveals the secrets behind his Body Design Formula
strength training system, in his new book "Extreme muscle makeover"
written by international speaker, author and professional
entertainer Batista Gremaud. Extreme muscle makeover is a must read
for anyone interested in maximizing time and results with their
approach to exercise. Stephen Hercy's deep interest in the works of
Carl Jung led him to conclude that women should not workout like
men and vise versa. From these notions, he developed his unique
Body Design Formula System, which stems from his 45 years of
practical experience, research and case studies. The book describes
step-by-step the philosophy and findings behind the Body Design
Formula System, enabling anyone whether a celebrity, housewife,
professional or student to tune into the natural biorhythms of the
body and avoid the pitfalls of the exercise world, reduce pain as
in fibromyalgia for example, prevent injuries and achieve maximum
results for sustainable long term health in a beautiful, mystical
and magical way. In its 11 chapters readers learn: Why women should
not train like men The influence male and female energies have
while exercising The connection between strength training and the
proper functioning of the nervous system The importance of proper
ergonomics and environment The significance of proper postural
alignment The reasons why most fitness systems fail long-term The
facts about yoga and aerobic activities The truth about working-out
with personal trainers The myths around programs focusing on weight
loss or weight gain The reality beyond injuries prevention and
rehabilitation Hercy's methods don't involve screaming, pushing,
controlling, manipulating, or forcing anyone to go beyond their
limits. In fact his experience proves that the best way to achieve
maximum fitness results long term is never to do anything that is
uncomfortable. The Body Design Formula is the fastest way of
grounding oneself spiritually by strengthening the nervous system,
to handle inward and outward stress. It is more than an exercise
program, it is a holistic approach to transforming one's life
through bodybuilding.
