Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Essential for students of theatre studies, Methuen Drama's Decades
of Modern British Playwriting series provides a comprehensive
survey and study of the theatre produced in each decade from the
1950s to 2009 in six volumes. Each volume features a critical
analysis and reevaluation of the work of four key playwrights from
that decade authored by a team of experts, together with an
extensive commentary on the period . Modern British Playwriting:
The 1950s provides an authoritative and stimulating reassessment of
the theatre of the decade together with a detailed study of the
work of T.S Eliot (by Sarah Bay-Cheng) , Terence Rattigan (David
Pattie), John Osborne (Luc Gilleman) and Arnold Wesker (John Bull).
The volume sets the context by providing a chronological survey of
the 1950s, a period when Britain was changing rapidly and the very
fabric of an apparently stable society seemed to be under threat.
It explores the crisis in the theatrical climate and activity in
the first part of the decade and the shift as the theatre began to
document the unease in society, before documenting the early life
of the four principal playwrights studied in the volume. Four
scholars provide detailed examinations of the playwrights' work
during the decade, combining an analysis of their plays with a
study of other material such as early play drafts, interviews and
the critical receptions of the time. An Afterword reviews what the
writers went on to do and provides a summary evaluation of their
contribution to British theatre from the perspective of the
twenty-first century.
This series of three volumes provides a groundbreaking study of the
work of many of the most innovative and important British theatre
companies from 1965 to the present. Each volume provides a survey
of the political and cultural context, an extensive survey of the
variety of theatre companies from the period, and detailed case
studies of six of the major companies. Volume Two, 1980-1994,
covers the period when cuts under Margaret Thatcher's Tory
government changed the landscape for British theatre. Yet it also
saw an expansion of companies that made feminism and gender central
to their work, and the establishment of new black and Asian
companies. Leading academics provide case studies of six of the
most important companies, including: * Monstrous Regiment, by Kate
Dorney (The Victoria & Albert Museum) *Forced Entertainment, by
Sarah Gorman (University of Roehampton, London, UK) * Gay
Sweatshop, by Sara Freeman (University of Puget Sound, USA) * Joint
Stock, by Jaqueline Bolton (University of Lincoln, UK) * Theatre de
Complicite, by Michael Fry * Talawa, by Kene Igweonu (Canterbury
Christ Church University, UK)

work of many of the most innovative and important British theatre
companies from 1965 to 2014. Each volume provides a survey of the

and traces the resistant influences of earlier movements in the
emergence of new companies and an independent theatre ecology that
seeks to reconfigure the mainstream. Leading academics provide case
studies of six of the most important companies, including: * Mind
the Gap, by Dave Calvert (University of Huddersfield, UK) * Blast
Theory, by Maria Chatzichristodoulou (University of Hull, UK) *

Brextorians had long suspected that at the time of the Brexit
negotiations, a series of audio recordings were made by and of
government officials. In the year 3563, their suspicions were
confirmed with the discovery of the first cache of tapes:
conversations in the halls of Westminster and in private
residences, secretly recorded in direct contravention of privacy
laws. In The Brexit Tapes, the transcripts of these recordings are
published for the very first time. Compiled by leading Brextorian
John Bull, they offer a remarkable insight into the lost years from
the Referendum to the Second Dark Age, and a clear picture of the
events leading up to the civil war that followed. Directly
challenging the accounts of Brexit provided in The Book of Mogg and
Lord Johnson's Res Brexitica, these transcripts are our first
concrete record of history as it happened and, for the modern
reader, a way to finally understand one of the most tumultuous
periods of British history.
Contemporary events have shown that buildings designed to modern
day codes need to be able to resist accidental extreme actions such
as impact, explosions, weather, chemical and seismic events. This
is one of the reasons for the present reviewing of the Eurocodes
used to design concrete structures. The definition of the use of
concrete used in extreme environments is difficult, but extreme
events are usually defined as those rare events which occur at the
extreme ends of the statistical distribution in a particular
situation. Often the clients who order the concrete structures are
unable to determine the extremes of environments the concrete will
encounter and rely on the designers and construction companies to
be able to predict the service conditions.
Part of the ICE manuals series, ICE Manual of Structural Design is
the essential reference for all structural engineers involved in
the design of buildings and other structures. The manual takes a
project oriented approach, covering key issues that design
professionals face at the outset of a project such as
sustainability, risk management and how to understand the client's
needs, before going on to cover the core issues of concept design
and the detailed design of structural components. ICE manual of
structural design * Approaches the key issues relating to design as
they would arise on a typical project * Provides an understanding
of the key structural design issues at concept design stage * Gives
practical advice on designing structural components to Eurocode
specifications ICE manual of structural design is an invaluable
resource for all engineers engaged in any aspect of structural
design projects.
