Most books about the history of humanity pursue either a historical or a biological approach, but Dr. Yuval Noah Harari breaks the mold with this highly original book. From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens integrates history and science to reconsider accepted narratives, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and examine specific events within the context of larger ideas.

In one word: Perspective
Revisado: 07-26-19
This book takes a refreshing look at our species from a distance. Yuval asks questions about how and why biological truths about homo sapiens have led to the cultural, historical, and philosophical context we live in today. He encourages us to take a closer look at the stories our cultures tell; to observe them at their roots, understand their implications, and carefully decide what to do with that knowledge. Full of insight and balanced research, and impeccably performed.

Our story begins in 1785 when a young seafarer, Captain Thornhill, disappears while visiting the shop of a barber in London, a certain Sweeney Todd whose shop in Fleet Street is situated by St. Dunstan's church, just round the corner from the famous and popular meat pie shop run by Mrs. Lovett. Thornhill was carrying a string of pearls as a gift for Johanna Oakley, the sweetheart of his friend Mark Ingestrie who is missing, presumed lost at sea.

A fun and quick Victorian murder drama
Revisado: 04-16-19
I came here for research toward the play and musical of Sweeney Todd; I really enjoyed immersing myself in the language and cadence of speech, although I have to admit the constant vocal fry and downward inflection of the narrator took a LOT of getting used to. highly enjoyable and worthwhile!

In Mastery, Robert Greene's fifth book, he mines the biographies of great historical figures for clues about gaining control over our own lives and destinies. Picking up where The 48 Laws of Power left off, Greene culls years of research and original interviews to blend historical anecdote and psychological insight, distilling the universal ingredients of the world's masters.

Creative Focus to realize practical achievements
Revisado: 09-28-18
I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in a performance field. When I started this book, I didn't realize it would give me perspective and become exactly the inspiration I needed to renew my focus and dig deep. There is real power in this book for anyone trying to learn and achieve high-level abilities, and I highly recommend it, especially to performers and those in creative fields.

From West Side Story in 1957 to Road Show in 2008, the musicals of Stephen Sondheim and his collaborators have challenged the conventions of American musical theater and expanded the possibilities of what musical plays can do, how they work, and what they mean.

Powerful Ideas For the Theatre Insider
Revisado: 03-24-18
McLaughlin draws satisfying and thought-provoking conclusions about both the history and the current state of musical theatre. It's a world divided by the struggle of achieving mass cultural appeal (the business) against innovating artistic expression (the show). Here, Mclaughlin thoughtfully explores the space between the two by focusing on the work of Sondheim, as it developed over the changing cultural landscape of his time.
This book is at its strongest when its scope is wide, when some of its denser ideas are brought to bear on greater trends in musical theatre. These dense ideas are necessary, but sometimes get weighed down in the philosophical language. Be prepared to rewind occasionally if you want to fully absorb this book. Highly recommended to insiders of the art form, especially directors and music directors.
