Don't burn out-stand out. Do you find yourself striving for big
goals but running on fumes? Are you ever stuck in the frustrating
cycle of overworking and under-living? Do you love the work you
do-or at least used to-but feel overwhelmed by it? When it comes to
work and our relationship with it, something has to change. This
doesn't mean you need to bound out of bed every day in love with
your work, nor do you need to settle for dragging yourself out of
bed surviving your way through it, but you can feel a greater sense
of aliveness engaging in it. Dear Work transforms traditional
advice by using the power of brain science to show you how to boost
your Work Vitality Quotient so you stand out, bringing your best,
most energized self-without burning out. Sara Ross, chief vitality
officer and leadership expert, will show you how to: - Identify the
four "success traps" that limit your potential by luring you into
thinking you're doing what it takes when really what you're doing
is taking from you. - Adopt a "yes, and" mindset to work better
with stress and feel fueled and fulfilled in the process. - Expand
your approach to self-care to strategically identify when slowing
down is needed and when accelerating in a different direction is
even better. In a world that refuses to let up, reigniting your
take-on-the-day vitality will be your competitive advantage at work
and your path to pursuing a fully lived life outside of it as well.

With disappearing music venues, and arts and culture communities at
constant risk of displacement in our urban centers, the
preservation of intangible cultural heritage is of growing concern
to global cities. This book addresses the role and protection of
intangible cultural heritage in the urban context. Using the
methodology of Urban Legal Anthropology, the author provides an
ethnographic account of the civic effort of Toronto to become a
Music City from 2014-18 in the context of redevelopment and
gentrification pressures. Through this, the book elucidates the
problems cities like Toronto have in equitably protecting
intangible cultural heritage and what can be done to address this.
It also evaluates the engagement that Toronto and other cities have
had with international legal frameworks intended to protect
intangible cultural heritage, as well as potential counterhegemonic
uses of hegemonic legal tools. Understanding urban intangible
cultural heritage and the communities of people who produce it is
of importance to a range of actors, from urban developers looking
to formulate livable and sustainable neighbourhoods, to city
leaders looking for ways in which their city can flourish, to
scholars and individuals concerned with equitability and the right
to the city. This book is the beginning of a conservation about
what is important for us to protect in the city for future
generations beyond built structures, and the role of intangible
cultural heritage in the creation of full and happy lives. The book
is of interest to legal and sociolegal readers, specifically those
who study cities, cultural heritage law, and legal anthropology.

Dogs have been part of motion pictures since the movies began. They
have been featured onscreen in various capacities, from any number
of "man's best friends" (Rin Tin Tin, Asta, Toto, Lassie, Benji,
Uggie, and many, many more) to the psychotic Cujo. The contributors
to Cinematic Canines take a close look at Hollywood films and
beyond in order to show that the popularity of dogs on the screen
cannot be separated from their increasing presence in our lives
over the past century.
The representation and visualization of dogs in cinema, as of other
animals, has influenced our understanding of what dogs "should" do
and be, for us and with us. Adrienne L. McLean expertly shepherds
these original essays into a coherent look at "real" dogs in
live-action narrative films, from the stars and featured players to
the character and supporting actors to those pooches that assumed
bit parts or performed as extras. Who were those dogs, how were
they trained, what were they made to do, how did they participate
as characters in a fictional universe? These are a just a few of
the many questions that she and the outstanding group of scholars
in this book have addressed.
Often dogs are anthropomorphized in movies in ways that enable them
to reason, sympathize, understand and even talk; and our shaping of
dogs into furry humans has had profound effects on the lives of
dogs off the screen. Certain breeds of dog have risen in popularity
following their appearance in commercial film, often to the
detriment of the dogs themselves, who rarely correspond to their
idealized screen versions. In essence, the contributors in
"Cinematic Canines" help us think about and understand the meanings
of the many canines that appear in the movies and, in turn, we want
to know more about those dogs due in no small part to the power of
the movies themselves.
During the 1920s, sound revolutionized the motion picture industry
and cinema continued as one of the most significant and popular
forms of mass entertainment in the world. Film studios were
transformed into major corporations, hiring a host of craftsmen and
technicians including cinematographers, editors, screenwriters, and
set designers. The birth of the star system supported the meteoric
rise and celebrity status of actors including Charlie Chaplin, Mary
Pickford, Joan Crawford, Greta Garbo, and Rudolph Valentino while
black performers (relegated to 'race films') appeared infrequently
in mainstream movies. The classic Hollywood film style was
perfected and significant film genres were established: the
melodrama, western, historical epic, and romantic comedy, along
with slapstick, science fiction, and fantasy. In ten original
essays, American Cinema of the 1920s examines the film industry's
continued growth and prosperity while focusing on important themes
of the era. Some of the films discussed in this volume include:
Flesh and the Devil, Applause, The Jazz Singer, Salome, The Affairs
of Anatol, and The Electric House.
