Anne Alison Barnet
Extravaganza King: Robert Barnet and Boston Musical Theater

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThis is the entertaining tale of Robert Barnet (1853?1933), a prosperous Boston sugar merchant, and the enormously popular musical theatricals he wrote and produced for the First Corps of Cadets, a volunteer militia of young upper-class Boston businessmen who sought money to build an armory as protection against feared immigrant uprisings. Barnet had already made a name for himself in local amateur theater circles when the Corps hired the middle-aged father of five to stage fund-raisers to erect the armory, known today as the Park Plaza Castle. Dubbed the `Extravaganza King` for his ever more elaborate productions, held annually in Boston from 1891 to 1906, Barnet almost single-handedly managed the lavish musical farces and Mother Goose burlesques, acting as librettist, director, stage manager, and costume designer. The male cadets, including several Harvard graduates trained in the Hasty Pudding tradition, played all of the roles in these overblown affairs,… [detailed...]

Extremal Combinatorics

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The book is a concise, self-contained and up-to-date introduction to extremal combinatorics for non-specialists. Strong emphasis is made on theorems with particularly elegant and informative proofs which may be called gems of the theory. A wide spectrum of most powerful combinatorial tools is presented: methods of extremal set theory, the linear algebra method, the probabilistic method and fragments of Ramsey theory. A throughout discussion of some recent applications to computer science motivates the liveliness and inherent usefulness of these methods to approach problems outside combinatorics. No special combinatorial or algebraic background is assumed. All necessary elements of linear algebra and discrete probability are introduced before their combinatorial applications. Aimed primarily as an introductory text for graduates, it provides also a compact source of modern extremal combinatorics for researchers in computer science and other fields of discrete mathematics.

Extreme Bodies : The Use and Abuse of the Body in Art

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description This thought-provoking volume presents an original, theoretical reflection on the use of the body in art. It analyses the ways in which the body has always been manipulated: from its relationship with cultural, religious and political institutions to current trends of self-decoration mutation. The first section focuses on images of the body as it has endured extreme hardship, a kind of iconography of pain. The second section looks at how bodies have been altered as they have been controlled, from prisoners` scars to the effects of electroshock therapy, and even the subtle, psychological effects of the continuous surveillance and data gathering of today. The book concludes with an analysis of some of the major practices of bodyalteration, bordering on self-mutation (and mutilation), via plastic surgery, transplants and implants to the point that there is a generation today incapable of distinguishing between real forms and a manipulated reality.

Extreme Facilitation covers the preparatory phases of the process, including assessment, convening, and contracting. Ghais also offers vital information on process design and tips for handling situations that many facilitators find particularly challenging. [detailed...]

Jackie Clune
Extreme Motherhood: The Triplet Diaries

2007 y.
Publisher: MacMillan UK
Description: On December 22, 2004, at a routine ultrasound dating scan, Jackie Clune was told she was pregnant with triplets. She had not undertaken any fertility treatment-indeed the pregnancy was an accident as her daughter was under a year old at the time. She and her partner were going from one child to four in almost a single bound. Thrown headlong into the world of multiple births-a risky, scary, and unpredictable world where there are few norms, little support, and practically no dedicated literature, Jackie`s first response was a profound desire to punch the radiographer. This is the story of what happened next. From the first scan to the babies first Christmas, she charts the physical, emotional, and practical rollercoaster of bringing three lives into the world all in one go. Essential reading for all parents of multiples-there are very few books available which offer more than a passing reference to twins or more, these stories will also appeal to anyone interested in how people cope in… [detailed...]
