Fackler M: Meltdown at Fukushima / LF

Meltdown at Fukushima

Great Stage Directors

This volume focuses on three artists who embrace media and technology as essential elements of their theatrical expression: Elizabeth LeCompte, Ping Chong, and Robert Lepage. Diverse in their aesthetic interests, they nevertheless share an approach to directing that includes technological media on stage as central to a rigorously crafted production concept. Technological elements live alongside and negotiate with the theatre's human players, disclosing, shaping, and even intruding on the dramas they enact. The essays in this volume explore how all three directors have provided decisive responses to a question that has dogged the theatre for at least the last century: what relationship can theatre, an art form grounded in live, ephemeral, expression, have to technology? The Great North American Stage Directors series provides an authoritative account of the art of directing in North America by examining the work of twenty-four major practitioners from the late 19th century to the present. Each of the eight volumes examines three directors and offers an overview of their practices, theoretical ideas, and contributions to modern theatre. The studies chart the life and work of each director, placing his or her achievement in the context of other important theatre practitioners and broader social history. Written by a team of leading experts, the series presents the genealogy of directing in North America while simultaneously chronicling crucial trends and championing contemporary interpretation.

Great North American Stage Directors Volume 7

The first effort to reconstruct the history of the Pacific War exclusively from internal Japanese sources, from the renowned historiansA magisterial work of political, social, and military history,&nbsp;Sacred War&nbsp;sets a new standard for understanding the events that forever transformed America, Japan, and the world. Celebrated historians Theodore F. and Haruko Taya Cook, whose oral history of the Pacific war was called "one of the essential books about World War II" (Philadelphia Inquirer), now offer a shattering new history of Japan's long war in the Pacific, told exclusively from the perspective of the Japanese.&nbsp;Sacred War&nbsp;draws on a rich trove of documents, much of it first-person and almost all of it previously inaccessible to Western scholars. Based on painstaking research, here is World War II through the eyes of the Japanese themselves: ordinary people on the home front, soldiers on the front lines, and the military and political leadership who drove Japan to near annihilation by 1945. Sacred War&nbsp;reveals both the internal logic of an authoritarian society bent on victory at all costs-including, in the final twelve months of the war, over one million civilian deaths-as well as heartrending accounts of the unfolding conflict, from the disease-ridden beaches on Guadalcanal to the burnt-out streets of Hiroshima, following the nuclear attacks by the United States that brought the war to its devastating end.

"Sacred War"

33 1/3 Japan

Widely recognized as the most innovative and influential Japanese group since the Second World War, Yellow Magic Orchestra (YMO) is seeing a revival among music listeners around the world, along with the works of its three members: Academy Award-winning composer Sakamoto Ryuichi, Hosono Haruomi as the central figure of the Japanese "city pop" revival, and Takahashi Yukihiro, who plays drums for METAFIVE with Towa Tei and Oyamada Keigo (Cornelius). This is the first book in English on Yellow Magic Orchestra, positioning its first album as the nexus of jazz fusion, new wave, and hip hop music. YMO's debut album provides a lens on transpacific dialogue on technology, race, and intellectual history. Examining the cultural negotiations between African American and Japanese musicians since the 1970s, this book considers the album as a nascent work of Afro-Asian futurism.

This book will tell the full story of one of the most exciting, dramatic and shocking tales of modern times.

PREORDER THE HEART-STOPPING BOOK EVERYONE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT IN 2024 The extraordinary story that united the nation to bring a mother home On 3 April 2016 Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe was at the airport in Tehran, getting ready to board her flight with her baby daughter. They'd been visiting family in Iran, and were looking forward to getting home and seeing Richard, who would be there to meet them. When a man suddenly appeared and marched Nazanin away, they couldn't know their family was about to be changed forever. That moment would test their love, confront five foreign secretaries and take an ordinary family behind the curtain of international hostage diplomacy and secret debts. Their story galvanised a campaign of hope for millions, which would eventually free Nazanin and bring her home. Six years later, almost to the day, Nazanin landed back in the UK. This is the full account of that long journey, told by Nazanin and Richard for the very first time.

"A biography of President Barack Obama"--

This addition to the acclaimed Big Words biography series celebrates Barack Obama: a tireless organizer, a brilliant orator, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, and the first Black president of the United States of America. Before he became the president, Barack Obama was a little boy called Barry. Amid a happy childhood in Hawaii and Indonesia, he also yearned for a better understanding of Black history and culture, and a better sense of his own identity as a Black American. Spurred by conversations around race, injustice, and inequality, he became a community organizer, practiced civil rights law, and was elected to the US Senate. "Yes we can!" became a rallying cry for his message of hope and change throughout the 2008 presidential election-which resulted in Barack Obama becoming the first Black president of the United States. This addition to the highly acclaimed Big Words series celebrates one of the most inspiring American leaders of our time. With evocative illustrations by award-winning artist Tonya Engel, Doreen Rappaport's richly detailed narrative employs rousing quotes from Obama himself and encourages young readers to investigate who they are and who they might one day become.

The Liar

What happens when the President of the United States engages in criminal activity? He runs for re-election. Donald Trump's campaign chairman went to jail. So did his personal lawyer. His long-time political consigliere was convicted of serious federal crimes, and his National Security Advisor pleaded guilty to several more. Multiple Russian spies were indicted in absentia. Career intelligence agents and military officers were alarmed enough by his actions as President that they alerted senior government officials and ignited the impeachment process. Yet despite all this, a years-long inquiry led by Robert Mueller, and the third Presidential impeachment trial in American history, Donald Trump survived to run for presidency again. Why? Jeffrey Toobin's highly entertaining, definitive account of the Mueller investigation and the impeachment of the President takes readers behind the scenes of the epic legal and political struggle to call Trump to account for his misdeeds. Toobin recounts the mind-boggling twists and turns in the case – Trump's son met with a Russian operative promising Kremlin support; Trump paid a porn star $130,000 to hush up an affair; Rudy Giuliani and a pair of shady Ukrainian-American businessmen got the Justice Department to look at Russian-created conspiracy theories. Toobin shows how Trump's canny lawyers used Mueller's famous integrity against him, and how Trump's bullying and bluster cowed Republican legislators into ignoring the clear evidence of the impeachment hearings. Based on dozens of interviews with prosecutors in Mueller's office, Trump's legal team, Congressional investigators, White House staffers, and several of the key players, including some who are now in prison, True Crimes and Misdemeanours is a revelatory narrative that makes sense of the seemingly endless chaos of the Trump years. Filled with never-before-reported details of the high-stakes legal battles and political machinations, the book weaves a tale of a rogue President guilty of historic misconduct, and how he got away with it.

A compelling narrative of the largest land battle of its time, and the decisive engagement of the Russo-Japanese War.

A compelling narrative of the largest land battle of its time, and the decisive engagement of the Russo-Japanese War.

Mukden stands out as the most significant battle of the Russo-Japanese War. By February 1905, the conflict had reached its culmination, as Port Arthur had fallen to the Japanese after an epic six-month siege. Now free to mass all his field armies, Japanese commander Marshal Oyama shifted his focus to the Russian forces assembled around the city of Mukden. The Russians, led by General Kuropatkin and numbering over 300,000 men, had finally achieved sufficient strength to conduct their own offensive. A Russian victory would be vital to save both deteriorating morale in the army, as well as to reassure the home front. 

This fascinating work documents the decisive set-piece battle between the opposing sides on the plains of Manchuria. Maps, diagrams, battlescene artwork and period photos bring to life the brutal clash, the largest battle in history up to that point. Exploring the unabated fighting across a 40-mile-long front in the depths of winter, John Valitutto considers how effective the manoeuvring of each side was, the trench warfare that prefigured World War I, and the influence of machine guns and massed heavy artillery on the battle's outcome. Mukden made it clear to all that the conduct of war was changing, with new technologies and tactics demonstrating their terrible potential to the world.

Von Edouard Manets Porträt des Schriftstellers Émile Zola, der inmitten seiner japanischen Kunstfunde hockt, bis hin zu Van Goghs akribisch gesammelten Hiroshige-Drucken – Pioniere der europäischen Moderne machten im 19. Jahrhundert kein Geheimnis aus ihrer Liebe zur japanischen Kunst. In all seiner sprudelnden Sinnlichkeit und Freizügigkeit schreibt man den Trend des Japonismus allein dem Holzschnitt zu, der zunächst Frankreich und später ganz Europa in seinen Bann zog – oft missverstandene, "exotische" Artefakte, die der westlichen Kreativität als Inspiration dienten.
 
 Tatsache ist, dass der japanische Holzschnitt ein Phänomen darstellt, zu dem es kein westliches Äquivalent gibt. Einige wegweisende Ideen der Moderne – darunter Karl Marx’ Diktum, dass "alles, was fest ist, sich in der Luft auflöst" – wurden im Japan des 17. Jahrhunderts entwickelt und im frühen 19. Jahrhundert erstmals in den Werken von Meistern wie Hokusai, Utamaro und Hiroshige zum Ausdruck gebracht.
 
 Dieses Buch lüftet den Schleier dieser beliebten, aber wenig verstandenen Kunstform und präsentiert die außergewöhnlichsten japanischen Holzschnitte in ihrem historischen Kontext. Die hier versammelten Werke reichen von den Anfängen über den Höhepunkt der Entwicklung im Ukiyo-e, den "Bildern der schwebenden Welt", im 17. Jahrhundert bis zum Niedergang und späteren Wiederaufleben der Drucke im frühen 20. Jahrhundert. Dokumentiert wird nicht nur ein einzigartiges Genre der Kunstgeschichte, sondern auch die sich wandelnden Sitten und die kulturelle Entwicklung Japans.
 
 Wir entdecken die vier Säulen des Holzschnitts – Schönheiten, Schauspieler, Landschaften sowie Vogel- und Blumenkompositionen – neben Darstellungen von Sumo-Ringern, Kabuki-Schauspielern oder Edelkurtisanen – Popstars, welche die "schwebende Welt" bevölkerten und deren wachsende Anhängerschaft die explosive Produktion der Holzschnitte beflügelte. Wir tauchen ein in bedrohlich-obskure Szenen, in denen Dämonen und Geister Angst und Schrecken verbreiten und die japanische Mangas, Filme und Videospiele bis heute beeinflussen. Wir erleben, wie technische Meisterschaft und das unfehlbare Auge ihrer Schöpfer diese Werke in ihrer unglaublichen Breite – von Alltagsszenen über Erotik, Kampfkunst bis hin zur Mythologie – vereint und wie Verleger und Künstler mit enormem Einfallsreichtum und Augenzwinkern gleichermaßen darum gekämpft haben, die staatliche Zensur zu umgehen.
 
 Diese Ausgabe vereint die besten erhaltenen Drucke aus Museen und Privatsammlungen weltweit und bietet Beschreibungen, die uns durch diese rasante Periode der japanischen Kunstgeschichte führen.
