For more than thirty years, Jerome John Garcia played guitar and
sang in the traveling menagerie and living social experiment called
the Grateful Dead. What started as a jug band in Palo Alto evolved
into a rock and roll institution, playing to audiences composed of
both gray-bearded boomers and tie-dyed baby Deadheads. At the
center of this phenomenon was Jerry, whose musical gifts and
affable manner made him the symbol of all things magical. In Dark
Star, we see Garcia through the eyes of those closest to him, who
speak for the first time since his death: the ex-wives and lovers
who did their best to make him happy but in the end always seemed
to lose him to the road; the close friends who watched in helpless
frustration as he battled a long-running heroin habit he tried
again and again to kick; the children of fellow members of the
Grateful Dead for whom he was the father he could never be to his
own daughters; the musicians who looked up to him as a guru and an
older brother.
These five short stories are about people and organisations
struggling with change. In each tale our hero or heroine
experiences one of the major pitfalls that beset people going
through change at work and discovers how to turn the situation on
its head. In short, they learn to work with the grain of human
nature and thereby achieve successful change. Although the stories
are easy and enjoyable to read, each one packs a punch,
illustrating a key technique for dealing with change; the book
makes an excellent training aid, and an inspiring read for anyone
grappling with the challenges of change. 5 Tales of Change is a
companion volume to the author's first book, The 5 Forces of
Change, described by Professional Manager Magazine as " - a
masterclass on the competencies required to achieve effective
organisational change - This work provides an outstanding guide to
managers charged with securing organisational change in today's
volatile business environment."
Few institutions have as profound an impact on the American
theatrical landscape as the Tony Award-winning Williamstown Theatre
Festival, located in Williamstown, Massachusetts. New Plays from
Williamstown Theatre Festival 2015-2021 provides a sample of the
dozens of plays that have been created and/or premiered at the
Festival during the Artistic Directorship of Mandy Greenfield. In
addition to stories that shine a light into new or underexplored
corners of the human condition, these plays frequently feature
complex and boundary-pushing central roles for women actors. These
six plays are manifestations of living, American playwrights
grappling with and breathing dramatic life into the conflicts and
questions at the heart of who we were, who we are, and who we will
become. These plays imagine and interrogate pieces of the human
experience we are still in the midst of unpacking and
understanding. Complete with introductions by each of the authors
reflecting on their work, these historic, award-winning, and
groundbreaking plays now live in conversation with one another in
this unique collection.

Aw, a new puppy How sweet How precious and adorable How wrong
Little Ozzy turns out to be the monster that destroys a family's
peace and harmony. Or does he? The whole situation is so complex,
and the run-up to the Dog War so fraught with complications, that
it is completely unreasonable to conclude that it began with any
one event - not even the arrival of Ozzy on that fateful day in
April. It makes no sense to see the Dog War as an isolated episode,
and once it really exploded, it stirred up a lot of old feelings
and memories, recollections and resentments that perhaps would have
been better forgotten. The Dog War was just a scrimmage in a much
larger and longer running series of conflicts. And while the
history of the Dog Wars is a story of conflict, it is also a story
of victory. Although it is a story of struggle, it is a story of
triumph too.
