A compelling, compact novel about a woman who walks out of her life
and washes up in an out-of-season seaside town - from a powerful
new Canadian-British voice After a sudden, devastating loss, Mara
flees her family and ends up adrift in a wealthy coastal town.
Mired in her grief, Mara's first few days are spent alone,
surviving on what scraps of food she can find, and swimming at
night in the ocean. When her money runs out and the tourist season
comes to a close, Mara finds a job in a local wine store and meets
its owner, Simon, a man whose loneliness she immediately recognises
as a mirror to her own. As Mara dances around her growing
attraction to Simon, she is forced to reckon with both her present
desires and her past errors, and with the compulsion she feels to
both make and unmake herself. Tides is a spare, visceral portrait
of a woman nearly pulled under by loss and desire. It is an
unforgettable introduction to a debut writer of uncommon literary
power.
Modern British Playwriting: The 1980s equips readers with a fresh
assessment of the theatre and principle playwrights and plays from
a decade when political and economic forces were changing society
dramatically. It offers a broad survey of the context and of the
playwrights and companies such as Complicite and DV8 that rose to
prominence at this time. Alongside this it provides a detailed
examination based on fresh research of four of the most significant
playwrights of the era and considers the influence they had on
later work. The 1980s volume features a detailed study by four
scholars of the work of four of the major playwrights who came to
prominence: Howard Barker (by Sarah Goldingay), Jim Cartwright
(David Lane), Sarah Daniels (Jane Milling) and Timberlake
Wertenbaker (Sara Freeman). Essential for students of Theatre
Studies, the series of six decadal volumes provides a critical
survey and study of the theatre produced from the 1950s to 2009.
Each volume features a critical analysis of the work of four key
playwrights besides other theatre work from that decade, together
with an extensive commentary on the period. Readers will understand
the works in their contexts and be presented with fresh research
material and a reassessment from the perspective of the
twenty-first century. This is an authoritative and stimulating
reassessment of British playwriting in the 1980s.
This is a story about a scientist that created the world's most
deadly and contagious bio weapon known to man. It released from the
lab with a little help and spreads around the world like wildfire.
The infected become like enraged beasts and attacks everyone in
sight. These infected, enraged beasts soon out number the
survivors. A small group of people struggle to survive in a world
gone mad. Is this the end of the human race? This is not a story of
the undead rising. This is a story of humans being driven mad with
a thirst for blood. This is a real live Zombie Apocalypse.
America once a thriving and prosperous nation, now an empty
decaying wasteland-everything changed in the blink of an eye. In
Grid Down Reality Bites, a high-altitude nuclear blast causing an
EMP (electrical magnetic pulse) destroys the power grid,
catapulting life as they knew it, back to the 1800's. The saga
continues in Grid Down Perceptions of Reality (volume 2, part 1),
as Amy, Preston, Michael, Joe, and Jane desperately struggle to
survive the chaos that ensues. Now a post-apocalyptic world, they
must rely on their primal instincts to escape destruction, disease
and death. In response to readers, Grid Down Perception of Reality,
is being released as a 3 part series. Part 2, which continues the
story of Mark and Eric, is scheduled for release July of 2013. Part
3, scheduled for release December 2013, completes the series of
Volume 2, with Clint and Junior. New updated book March 31st

Public Theatres and Theatre Publics presents sixteen focused
investigations that connect theatre and performance studies with
public sphere theory. The organizing critical lens of publics and
publicness allows for the chapters to speak to one another other
across time periods and geographies, inviting readers to think
about how performing in public shapes and circulates concepts of
identity, notions of taste or belonging, markers of class, and
possibilities for political agency. Each essay presents a theorized
case study that grapples with fundamental questions of how
individuals perform in public contexts. The essays, written by a
cross-section of prominent and emerging theatre and performance
scholars, contribute new discussions and understandings of how
theatre and performance work, as well as how publics, publicity,
and modes of publicness have been constructed and contested over
the last three centuries and in multiple national contexts
including the US, Britain, France, Germany, Argentina and Egypt.
