Sommario/riassunto |

Dramaturgy: A Revolution in Theatreè una storia sostanziale delle origini dei drammaturghi e dei direttori letterari. Inquadra l'esplosione degli incarichi professionali in Inghilterra all'interno di una più ampia mappa continentale che risale all'Illuminismo e alla Germania del diciottesimo secolo, esaminando il lavoro dei maggiori teorici e professionisti della drammaturgia, da Granville Barker e Gotthold Lessing a Brecht e Tynan. Questo studio posiziona il modello di drammaturgia di Brecht come centrale per la rivoluzione mondiale nelle pratiche teatrali e costituisce anche un argomento sostanziale per i contributi di Granville Barker e Tynan allo sviluppo della gestione letteraria. Con i territori del gioco e della creazione di spettacoli sempre più fortemente contestati e l'appetito del pubblico per nuove opere che non mostra segni di diminuzione, Mary Luckhurst indaga sul drammaturgo come fenomeno culturale e politico. |

Sommario/riassunto |

Even as they see their wages go down and their buying power decrease, many parents are still putting their kids' material desires first. These parents struggle with how to handle children's consumer wants, which continue unabated despite the economic downturn. And, indeed, parents and other adults continue to spend billions of dollars on children every year. Why do children seem to desire so much, so often, so soon, and why do parents capitulate so readily? To determine what forces lie behind the onslaught of Nintendo Wiis and Bratz dolls, Allison |

J. Pugh spent three years observing and interviewing children and their families. In Longing and Belonging: Parents, Children, and Consumer Culture, Pugh teases out the complex factors that contribute to how we buy, from lunchroom conversations about Game Boys to the stark inequalities facing American children. Pugh finds that children's desires stem less from striving for status or falling victim to advertising than from their yearning to join the conversation at school or in the neighborhood. Most parents respond to children's need to belong by buying the particular goods and experiences that act as passports in children's social worlds, because they sympathize with their children's fear of being different from their peers. Even under financial constraints, families prioritize children "feeling normal". Pugh masterfully illuminates the surprising similarities in the fears and hopes of parents and children from vastly different social contexts, showing that while corporate marketing and materialism play a part in the commodification of childhood, at the heart of the matter is the desire to belong. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
An accessible treatment of the modeling and solution of integer programming problems, featuring modern applications and software In order to fully comprehend the algorithms associated with integer programming, it is important to understand not only how algorithms work, but also why they work. Applied Integer Programming features a unique emphasis on this point, focusing on problem modeling and solution using commercial software. Taking an application-oriented approach, this book addresses the art and science of mathematical modeling related to the mixed integer |
