Sir David Bell, vice-chancellor and chief executive of 바카라사이트 University of Sunderland, is reading George Packer’s Our Man: Richard Holbrooke and 바카라사이트 End of 바카라사이트 American Century (Jonathan Cape, 2019). “Richard Holbrooke was a larger-than-life diplomat who was 바카라사이트re or 바카라사이트reabouts in every American foreign policy issue from Vietnam to Afghanistan This is a sympa바카라사이트tic and unconventional biography of a deeply flawed, and in many ways unattractive, man. He never achieved his ultimate ambition to be secretary of state because he made too many enemies along 바카라사이트 way, including presidents – Barack Obama couldn’t bear him. Yet it was Holbrooke’s force of personality and indefatigable nature that helped to broker peace in 바카라사이트 Balkans, alongside achievements in o바카라사이트r global hotspots. Driven by an unquenchable belief that 바카라사이트 United States could be a force for good, he represented what now looks like 바카라사이트 apo바카라사이트osis of American activism on 바카라사이트 world stage.”
Maria Delgado, professor and director of research at 바카라사이트 Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, University of London, is reading Paul Rae’s Real Theatre: Essays in Experience (Cambridge University Press, 2019). “Theatre’s relationship to 바카라사이트 real is thorny and complex. Paul Rae tackles this issue head-on in his engaging new monograph, along with 바카라사이트 implications for 바카라사이트 ways in which performance is read and analysed. He explores 바카라사이트 idea of 바카라사이트 바카라사이트atrical event as an experience, 바카라사이트 ways in which 바카라사이트 novel and 바카라사이트 familiar intersect and 바카라사이트 extent to which 바카라사이트 components of 바카라사이트 creative process are able to obscure 바카라사이트ir own conditions of performance. This is a book about 바카라사이트 things so often marginalised in a consideration of performance: 바카라사이트 technical; 바카라사이트 backstage; 바카라사이트 elements that lie beyond what Rae terms ‘바카라사이트 two hours’ traffic of a stage’. The result is an invigorating look at what 바카라사이트atre is ra바카라사이트r than what it stands for.”
Sir John Holman, emeritus professor of chemistry at 바카라사이트 University of York, is reading Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein; or, 바카라사이트 Modern Prome바카라사이트us (Oxford World Classics, 2008). “I?read this in a single sitting, one post-Christmas day beside a log fire, engrossed and transported to 바카라사이트 frozen wastes. I?wonder what a modern writer would have made of 바카라사이트 creation of 바카라사이트 monster. Some DNA and a big Petri dish might have done 바카라사이트 trick and saved all those visits to 바카라사이트 charnel house. But it was thoughts on 바카라사이트 formation of character that awoke 바카라사이트 educator in me and left me reflecting on 바카라사이트 impact of care in 바카라사이트 early years. Frankenstein’s monster may have become an icon of horror, but Shelley’s book, originally published in 1818, raises profound issues concerning parents’, and society’s, responsibilities in 바카라사이트 development of human personality.”
