Shakespeare's texts are seen by the poet and critic Michael Goldman as designs for theatrical experience--the complex emotional, physical, and intellectual transaction between actor and audience that brings alive Shakespeare's imagination and makes it immediate to our own. Mr. Goldman's particular concerns are these: what the audience responds to in an acted play; how Shakespeare controls and shapes this response; what the response means, and why it matters.

This pathbreaking book is the first close examination of the inner workings of the World Bank, the foundations of its global achievements, its propensity for intensifying the problems it intends to cure, and its remarkable ability to tame criticism and extend its own reach.
"An excellent critique of the Bank's inner workings and external image-making."--Publishers Weekly
"Imperial Nature's greatest strength is its analysis of the World Bank as an institution. . . . A valuable resource for activists, students, and scholars, alike."--Joshua Brook, TNR Online...

This intensely personal book develops a new approach to the study of action in drama. Michael Goldman eloquently applies a method based on a crucial fact: our experience of a play in the theater is almost exclusively our experience of acting.

The concept of "commons" has traditionally served as a device for controlling land, forests, rivers, and natural resources. Now, as we approach the twenty-first century, new forms of enclosures and notions of private property are emerging-from water rights, biodiversity, and "gene pools" of plants and humans to the demands of multinational corporations for free access to more land for investment and exploitation. The power of the commons is still flourishing and the "global commons" now provides the central metaphor for ecological politics.

A tale of true love and high adventure, pirates, princesses, giants, miracles, fencing, and a frightening assortment of wild beasts--The Princess Bride is a modern storytelling classic.

As Florin and Guilder teeter on the verge of war, the reluctant Princess Buttercup is devastated by the loss of her true love, kidnapped by a mercenary and his henchman, rescued by a pirate, forced to marry Prince Humperdinck, and rescued once again by the...

In this book of translated Danish poetry, farming is not used as a background for personal drama but as the speaker's central subject. The poet succeeds in defining his central task as the vivid evocation of the repeated seasonal chores that make up the essence of farming life. Never sentimental, and often humorous, the book might be called an earthy celebration of essential ritual; but it is an elegy as well, for the poems also chronicle the pressures that lead to collapse of farming as a vocation, describing the slow shift of a vital farming village into a bedroom community for those...
