The End of the Trail --ACKNOWLEDGMENTS --Appendix: Books Published under the Editorial Direction of David R. Brower --NOTES --Bibliography --INDEXIn this first comprehensive authorized biography of David Brower, a dynamic leader in the environmental movement over the last half of the twentieth century, Tom Turner explores Brower's impact on the movement from its beginnings until his death in 2000. Frequently compared to John Muir, David Brower was the first executive director of the Sierra Club, founded Friends of the Earth, and helped secure passage of the Wilderness Act, among other key achievements. Tapping his passion for wilderness and for the mountains he scaled in his youth, he was a central figure in the creation of the Point Reyes National Seashore and of the North Cascades and Redwood national parks. In addition, Brower worked tirelessly in successful efforts to keep dams from being built in Dinosaur National Monument and the Grand Canyon. Tom Turner began working with David Brower in 1968 and remained close to him until Brower's death. As an insider, Turner creates an intimate portrait of Brower the man and the decisive role he played in the development of the environmental movement. Culling material from Brower's diaries, notebooks, articles, books, and published interviews, and conducting his own interviews with many of Brower's admirers, opponents, and colleagues, Turner brings to life one of the movement's most controversial and complex figures.EnvironmentalistsUnited StatesBiographyConservationistsUnited StatesBiographyElectronic books.EnvironmentalistsConservationists508.092Turner Tom1942-1050054McKibben BillMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460554403321David Brower2479530UNINA03125nam 2200625 450 991046475800332120200520144314.0988-8268-25-2988-8268-26-0(CKB)3710000000114560(EBL)1697058(SSID)ssj0001260887(PQKBManifestationID)11715805(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001260887(PQKBWorkID)11311980(PQKB)10730319(StDuBDS)EDZ0000862402(MiAaPQ)EBC1697058(OCoLC)880579942(MdBmJHUP)muse35580(Au-PeEL)EBL1697058(CaPaEBR)ebr11047123(CaONFJC)MIL618565(OCoLC)881165667(EXLCZ)99371000000011456020150501h20142014 uy| 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrChinese opera the actor's craft /Siu Wang-Ngai with Peter LovrickHong Kong :Hong Kong University Press,[2014]©20141 online resource (227 p.)Description based upon print version of record.988-8208-26-8 Includes bibliographical references and index.Preface -- How Chinese theatre solves theatrical problems -- Using stage movement -- Using props -- Using weapons and skills for stage fighting -- Using costumes -- Using special skills -- A final word--from the photographer and the writer -- Glossary -- Appendix I.

Chinese guide to the photographs -- References -- Index.Chinese opera embraces over 360 different styles of theatre that make one of the richest performance arts in the world. It combines music, speech, poetry, mime, acrobatics, stage fighting, vivid face-painting and exquisite costumes. First experiences of Chinese opera can be baffling because its vocabulary of stagecraft is familiar only to the seasoned aficionado. Chinese Opera: The Actor's Craft makes the experience more accessible for everyone. This book uses breath-taking images of Chinese opera in performance by Hong Kong photographer Siu Wang-Ngai to illustrate and explain Chinese opera stage technique. The book explores costumes, gestures, mime, acrobatics, props and stage techniques. Each explanation is accompanied by an example of its use in an opera and is illustrated by in-performance photographs. Chinese Opera: The Actor's Craft provides the reader with a basic grammar for understanding uniquely Chinese solutions to staging drama.Operas, ChineseHistory and criticismActing in operaElectronic books.Operas, ChineseHistory and criticism.Acting in opera.782.10951Wang-Ngai Siu1031307Lovrick Peter1953-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464758003321Chinese opera2448612UNINA
