How did Shakespeare sound to the audiences of his day? For the
first time this disc offers listeners the chance to hear England's
greatest playwright performed by a company of actors using the
pronunciation of his time. Under the guidance of Ben Crystal,
actor, author of Shakespeare on Toast and an expert in original
Shakespearian pronunciation, the company performs some of
Shakespeare's best-known poems, solo speeches and scenes from the
plays. Hear new meanings uncovered, new jokes revealed, poetic
effects enhanced. The CD is accompanied by an introductory essay by
Professor David Crystal. An essential purchase for every student
and lover of Shakespeare.
Solution-based casework is an approach to assessment, case
planning, and case management that combines what we know from
clinical social work with what we value about sound social work
practice. It is grounded in family-centered social work and draws
from clinical approaches within social work and mental health. By
integrating problem- and solution-focused approaches that form the
clinical and social work traditions, treatment partnerships are
more easily formed between family, caseworker, and service
provider.
Solution-Based Casework is a skill-based, practice-oriented text
that provides the specific guidance that students and new
practitioners need in order to make sense quickly of the complex
tasks of assessment and case planning in child welfare. The book
flows out of a long practice experience, and was developed in
consultation with workers and supervisors who were attempting to
remedy problems viewed as contributing to recurrent abuse and
neglect. It seeks to end adversarial relationships in casework and
advocates case plans based on specific outcome skills rather than
on those written with vague outcome goals measuring attendance in
counseling. It serves as a common conceptual framework for
integrating disparate segments of a response network, thereby
allowing all providers in a therapeutic system to work toward
common goals.
The text is divided into three sections. In Section I the
conceptual history and theoretical foundations of solution-based
casework are presented so that the reader can place this approach
to casework within the ongoing professional conversation about what
constitutes sound practice. Section II addresses issues of
assessment and case planning. Section III focuses on case
management issues and how treatment team members experience a
solution-based casework approach.

This volume brings together a range of miscellaneous short texts by
Voltaire, mostly undated and principally manuscript fragments. From
thoughts on the souls of animals, to how he organised his papers to
a joke proxy granting unlimited powers to act on his behalf, these
scraps shed light on Voltaire's working methods and on the possible
subjects of texts that he never published. Most notably, it
contains a supplement adding nineteen fragments to the edition of
Voltaire's Notebooks (OCV, vol.81-82). Contributors: David Adams,
Andrew Brown, Marie-Helene Cotoni, Nicholas Cronk, Jean Dagen,

Magic is not too strong a term for the appeal of this unique group
of plants, the Mesembs. Radiant in flower and highly diverse in
form and stature, this group includes plants as small as wheat
grains or as big as a rhinoceros. Their fruits are as complex as
any in the floral kingdom or as simple as saltshakers. Mesembs have
captured the imagination of botanists, horticulturalists and
travellers for many centuries. This title is a must for anyone who
want to experience the magic of mesembs.
Au cours des derniers mois de la vie, Voltaire se consacre a un
projet de grande envergure, ses "Dialogues d'Evhemere", qui font la
synthese de sa pensee en matiere de religion et de philosophie.
L'entree triomphale a Paris sera par la suite l'occasion de
retrouvailles avec l'Academie francaise, pour laquelle Voltaire
projette un nouveau dictionnaire de langue francaise, ouvrage qui
ne verra malheureusement pas le jour. Les Comediens-Francais de
meme recoivent sa derniere esquisse de tragedie, "Agathocle". Ce
volume regroupe egalement de nombreux courts textes de cette
periode, y compris le poeme "Les Adieux a la vie".
This complement to the "Corpus des notes marginales series"
reproduces marginalia by Voltaire found in works outside of his
personal library in both printed books and manuscripts. It occupies
a unique place within the series as some of the texts included
therein were annotated by Voltaire not for his own use but for
friends, acquaintances and correspondents. The volume therefore
offers a rare glimpse at marginalia whose chief purpose was to
impress a certain image of Voltaire himself upon the recipients of
the annotated works. A retrospective introduction to the "Corpus
des notes marginales de Voltaire" series provides a fascinating
portrait of Voltaire as a reader. Contributors: Samuel Bailey, Jean

Ce volume donne un bon apercu des combats qui occupent Voltaire au
debut des annees 1770: qu'il s'agisse de se battre pour la
survivance du theatre francais issu du Grand Siecle ("Les
Pelopides"), de defendre son Dieu contre les materialistes radicaux
("Reponse au Systeme de la nature", "Lettres de Memmius a
Ciceron"), de denoncer l'asservissement des mainmortables de
Franche-Comte ("Au roi en son conseil", "Nouvelle requete"), ou
encore de fustiger les travers de son epoque et l'obscurantisme de
l'Eglise ("Les Deux Siecles", "Le Pere Nicodeme"), Voltaire
continue a monter au creneau a 75 ans passes pour defendre ses
convictions.
"A wonderful and wise book that has been needed for a long time."—Patrick J. Carnes.
In 1766, while Voltaire was heavily involved in the Sirven case, he
was also busy defending his own reputation. His "Lettre pastorale a
Monsieur l'archeveque d'Auch" and "Satire contre Monsieur Lefranc
de Pompignan" perpetuated feuds against old enemies, while his
"Petit Commentaire" called for greater tolerance for the
philosophes in general. A biography of Henri IV that made no
reference to Voltaire's work as a historian impelled him to write
the scathing "Le President de Thou justifie". An unauthorised,
maliciously edited collection of his letters, which was potentially
damaging to the Sirven campaign, prompted the "Appel au public
contre un recueil de pretendues lettres". But Voltaire reserved his
harshest treatment for Rousseau and the Genevan pastor Jacob
Vernet. The "Lettre au docteur Jean-Jacques Pansophe", a litany of
apparent contradictions in Rousseau's works, appeared in England
during Rousseau's stay there. It was followed by the "Lettre de
Monsieur de Voltaire a Monsieur Hume", giving Voltaire's account of
Rousseau's life, and by "Notes" on that letter. Vernet was
ridiculed in the "Lettre curieuse de Monsieur Robert Covelle" and
the "Eloge de l'hypocrisie". The shorter verse presents a more
affable side to Voltaire as he flatters nobles, writers and younger
women.
Ce volume contient plusieurs textes importants de Voltaire composes
en 1766/1767: la "Relation de la mort du chevalier La Barre", qui
fait partie de la lutte voltairienne contre l'infame; les "Lettres
a Son Altesse Monseigneur le prince de ***", dans lesquelles
Voltaire fait l'apologie de certains ecrivains 'antichretiens',
precurseurs de l'esprit philosophique; et "Les Honnetetes
litteraires", un 'compendium de traits d'erudition, de droiture et
de charite'.
The first of three volumes of Voltaire's writings of 1746-1748,
containing a major tragedy ("Semiramis", edited by Robert Niklaus),
a comedy ("La Femme qui a raison", edited by Russell Goulbourne and
Mark Waddicor), as well as the "Discours de M. de Voltaire a sa
reception a l'academie francaise", edited by Karlis Raveskis, and
Voltaire's shorter verse of 1746-1748, edited by R. A. Nablow. It
underscores how Voltaire deployed his consummate skill as a writer
across the full breadth of genres and forms, establishing himself
as a multifaceted public intellectual.
This volume brings together a group of works which have never been
edited before, and makes an important contribution to the study of
Voltaire and music history. Voltaire's role as a courtier during
this period was a complex one, as he sought to serve at both the
French and Prussian courts; the names of the addressees of the
verse written at this time show the numerous contacts made by
Voltaire during his travels abroad and particularly during his
postings to Berlin and the Hague. On his return to France in 1743,
his attention turned to the court at Versailles, and there followed
two royal commissions, "La Princesse de Navarre" and "Le Temple de
la gloire", both written in collaboration with Rameau with whom
Voltaire had a stormy working relationship. Although neither work
received the critical acclaim Voltaire had hoped for, the first did
secure for him the position of historiographe du roi and is
integral to his ongoing experimentation in comic drama.
This volume contains further full critical editions of some of
Voltaire's many and varied writings of 1772. When Voltaire hears
that Gustav III has assumed power in Sweden after a coup d'etat, he
welcomes a new member to the club of enlightened rulers with the
poem "Au roi de Suede, Gustave III". He returns to legal
considerations, this time in their relation to religious
toleration, in the "Reflexions philosophiques sur le proces de
mademoiselle Camp", and the abuse of ecclesiastical privilege is
attacked in "La Voix du cure sur le proces des serfs du Mont-Jura".
The theme of religious intolerance surfaces again in his treatment
of the Crusades in "Quelques petites hardiesses de Mr. Clair, a
l'occasion d'un panegyrique de Saint Louis". He also publishes a
treatise of sceptical deism, oddly entitled "Il faut prendre un
parti ou le principe d'action". Voltaire continued to write poetry
in a range of styles and genres: two verse satires, "Les Systemes"
and "Les Cabales", a slighter work, "Jean qui pleure et qui rit",
and towards the end of the year, one of his most important poems,
the "Epitre a Horace", which shows him comparing notes with Horace
as to how each of them will be treated by posterity: 'J'ai vecu
plus que toi; mes vers dureront moins.'
