An American Playgoer at Home serves as a companion volume to An American Playgoer in London. It captures the author’s theatregoing on his home territory in Northampton and Amherst, Massachusetts, in Hartford, Connecticut, in New York City, and in other places in the USA and in Canada as well. As a companion volume it covers approximately the same period of roughly four decades, from the early 1970s into the second decade of the new century. Almost all of the reviews are of live theatre; a few are of films that have an important dramatic quality or are a film version of an existing play, as in the instance of O’Neill’s The Iceman Cometh.

Over forty-plus years, Joseph Donohue spent many days in London libraries researching thea­trical subjects and many after­noons and evenings in London theatres, witnessing almost one hundred twenty-five productions of original plays and revivals and recording his exper­ience in a series of metic­ulously kept journals.

This textbook introduces key feminist concepts and analytical frameworks used in the interdisciplinary Women, Gender, Sexualities field. It unpacks the social construction of knowledge and categories of difference, processes and structures of power and inequality, with a focus on gendered labor in the global economy, and the historical development of feminist social movements. The book emphasizes feminist sociological approaches to analyzing structures of power, drawing heavily from empirical feminist research.

A second semester introductory physics course for life sciences students that looks to deepen students' understanding of biology and chemistry through physics all through the lens of understanding two of the most fundamental particles in the Universe: electrons and photons. The book begins with exploring the quantum mechanical nature of these objects to expand on what students have learned in chemistry and then proceeds to geometric optics (using the human eye as a theme), electrostatics (using membrane potentials), circuits (using the neuron), and finally synthesizing everything in a unit exploring the meaning of "light is an electromagnetic wave."

Tachibana Takashi analyzes the impact of World War II on Tokyo University and Tokyo University’s impact on the war: attacks from outside, faculty politics and purges, institutional expansion, the sacrifice of liberal arts students to the war machine, and heroic dissenting professors who tried in vain to bring the war to an early end.

Benvenut* a Torniamo a tavola, vol. 1! This book represents a continuation and expansion of what you studied in Tutt* a tavola! volumes 1 & 2. Since you are now at the intermediate level of your study of Italian, this book is meant to service as a grammatical reference and guide, rather than as a traditional textbook, as the primary goal of this course is to improve your speaking, listening, writing, reading and intercultural abilities and knowledge. There are four (4) units (Unità), comprised of different grammatical structures (Strutture) and vocabulary (Vocabolario) related to the theme of the unit. The vocabulary list in particular is intended as a starting off point – you are encouraged to keep and maintain your own vocabulary lists throughout the semester, using whatever platform you prefer (Quizlet, Anki, good old fashioned paper flashcards). Some of the grammatical structures will be a review of topics you have studied in the past, with attention to forms and usage not covered at the elementary level, while others will be new. At the end of the explanation of each structure, there is a practice exercise (Una prova) that is auto-graded, with multiple attempts possible, so you can check your work and gauge your progress.

This new open educational resource is for Elementary Italian. Our goal is for this book to be comprehensive, user-friendly, inclusive, and cost-effective. Tutt* a tavola has two parts, one for each course, with six chapters in each. Generally speaking, each chapter addresses three to four grammatical topics and includes a vocabulary section related to a cultural theme. The vocabulary is also incorporated into the grammatical presentations and exercises. There is also a short reading in each chapter regarding different aspects of culture and language, to address those questions of diversity and inclusion that are often missing from the textbooks we have used in the past. To include more culture, we have also included multimedia: each chapter begins with a song that is used as a starting point for the inductive presentation of the chapter’s content, and ends with a video (a film clip, an interview, social media) that summarizes the ideas covered.

This book has all of the same features as the first volume: an opening song for each chapter (Ascoltiamo!); vocabulary and grammar sections; exercises based on a film clip (Guardiamo!); and more in-depth explorations of cultural topics (Punto culturale). It also introduces a new section, Leggiamo!, in which we begin reading short literary texts in Italian.

This Falcon Curriculum will demonstrate how the collaboration of educational communities can create sustainable resources that are meaningful, engaging, and relevant that also align with established educational curriculum framework standards. We drew from the aforementioned SDG report and connected with K12 educators, the Du Bois Falcon Team, and wildlife experts and entities to explore how we could create an open, free curriculum to bring the falcons into the classroom. The goal of this curriculum design is to give teachers flexibility and creativity in how they want to teach standard lessons in the Massachusetts Common Core but also remain focused on meeting the requirements.

The present volume proposes to remedy the great lack of access to critical responses to Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest. Criticism of Wilde’s play abounds, but for the most part it lies out of the way, a challenge to track down, requiring research among a multitude of potential sources, or hours spent combing through files of newspapers, or consultation of biblio­graphies of Wilde.
