Linked by their common setting in Thebes, Antigone,Oedipus the
King, and Oedipus at Colonus stand at the fountainhead of world
drama. This volume presents a new, and accurate yet poetic and
playable translation by playwright Don Taylor, who has also
directed plays for a BBC-TV production.
Despite its importance, logistics engineering often lags industry
requirements, especially in terms of engineering-based needs.
Filling the gap between education and practice, this brief but
comprehensive volume covers the most basic material in the field of
logistics engineering, making is suitable for those who require an
overview of the topic. The book discusses logistics from historical
and economic perspectives, covers the basic tools required for the
study and practice of logistics, and reviews the metrics that can
be used to evaluate progress. It then delves into activities that
commonly fill the workdays of logisticians. The book closes with an
excellent chapter on logistics as an integrating systems function.
A comprehensive and invaluable reference work for practitioners,
academics, and students of international criminal law, this series
critically examines a complex and important legal area. Volume 1
considers the criminal responsibility of individuals for the
commission of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide;
Volume 2 focuses on these core international crimes and discusses
their interaction with the forms of responsibility; and Volume 3
provides an evaluation of international criminal procedure and the
rules and practices designed to ensure effective investigations and
fair trials.
Achieving state-of-the-art excellence and attaining the cost
reductions associated with outstanding logistics efforts is an
obvious gain in terms of competitive edge and profitability. As
logistics tools evolve in comprehensiveness and complexity, and the
use of these new tools becomes more pervasive, maintaining a
position of leadership in logistics functions also becomes
increasingly difficult. And in spite of its importance not only to
the bottom line but also to the functionality of your operations,
logistics improvement often lags industry requirements. Taking a
unique engineering approach, the Logistics Engineering Handbook
provides comprehensive coverage of traditional methods and
contemporary topics. The book delineates basic concepts and
practices, provides a tutorial for common problems and solution
techniques, and discusses current topics that define the state of
the logistics market. It covers background information that defines
engineering logistics, activities and implementation,
transportation management, enabling technologies, and emerging
trends. Each chapter includes either a brief case study overview of
an industrially motivated problem or a tutorial using fabricated
data designed to highlight important issues. Presentation,
organization, and quality of content set this book a part. Its most
distinctive feature is the engineering focus, instead of the more
usual business/supply chain focus, that provides a mathematically
rigorous treatment without being overly analytical. Another
important characteristic is the emphasis on transportation
management, especially freight transportation. The section on
emerging and growing trends makes the handbook particularly useful
to the savvy logistics professional wishing to exploit possible
future trends in logistics practice. The handbook is a one-stop
shopping location for logistics engineering reference materials
ranging from basics to traditional problems, to state-of-the-market
concerns.
Directing Plays explores both the theory and practice of directing
plays, with particular emphasis on textual interpretation. Don
Taylor guides the student through the complex process of choosing a
play, the working partnership of director, playwright and designer,
the delicate matter of casting a play, the rehearsal process and
everything which needs to happen before the production is up and
running.

Since it was first performed in Athens in the 420s BC, "Oedipus
the King "has been widely regarded as Sophocles' greatest tragedy
and one of the foundation stones of western drama. Taken as a model
by Aristotle in his "Poetics," it became a yardstick for future
generations. Since the play's rediscovery in the Renaissance,
audiences - including Sigmund Freud - have found new
interpretations and meanings in Sophocles' portrayal of the Theban
king, inexorably pursuing the truth, only to discover that he has
killed his father and married his mother.
This translation by Don Taylor, accurate yet poetic, was made
for a BBC TV production of the Theban Plays in 1986, which he also
directed. Commentary and notes by Angie Varakis.

In a single volume, Empire at War catalogues and offers a brief
description of every significant battle fought by the Roman Empire
from Augustus to Justinian I (and most of the minor ones too). The
information in each entry is drawn exclusively from Ancient, Late
Antique, and Early Medieval texts, in order to offer a brief
description of each battle based solely on the information provided
by the earliest surviving sources which chronicle the event. This
approach provides the reader a concise foundation of information to
which they can then confidently apply later scholarly
interpretation presented in secondary sources in order to achieve a
more accurate understanding of the most likely battlefield
scenario. In writing the battle descriptions, the author has not
sought analyse the evidence contained in the surviving accounts,
nor embellish them beyond that which was necessary to provide
clarity to the modern reader. He allows the original writers to
speak for themselves, presenting the reader with a succinct version
of what the ancient chroniclers tell us of these dramatic events.
It is an excellent first-stop reference to the many battles of the
Roman Empire.
