ASIN: 0743470370 |
Book Description
Having captured readers' hearts and imaginations in three USA Today-bestselling books, the irrepressible Ladies of Covington again delight us in Joan Medlicott's richest and most warmly affecting novel yet.
If you're meeting the Ladies of Covington for the first time, prepare to fall in love with Hannah, Grace, and Amelia -- three warm, strong, and wonderful sixty-something women who are so real, they'll soon become dear friends. If you've visited Covington before, you know how much you're going to enjoy catching up on their lives, as the ladies face new challenges with generous hearts, a hearty dose of practicality, and good cheer.
Hannah, Grace, and Amelia are devastated when a fire destroys their beloved old farmhouse on Cove Road. As they begin the long, difficult process of rebuilding, they find an unexpected silver lining as the crisis creates deeper bonds with the locals in their adopted North Carolina mountain town.
Of course life doesn't stop just because there's an emergency, and new developments arise from the situation. After Grace's dear companion Bob has a heart attack, she moves into his hillside condo to take care of him -- and then must decide whether to rejoin the other ladies when their new farmhouse is finished.
Without the buffer of Grace's ease, Hannah and Amelia find their very different person-alities clashing. To ease the strain, Hannah temporarily moves in with George Maxwell, their across-the-street neighbor, with whom she works side-by-side in creating Bella's Park. And when Max surprises Hannah by offering her a marriage of convenience, where she can continue living with the other ladies but also inherit Bella's Park to safeguard it, she has a very difficult decision to make.
A soul-nourishing portrait of the power of female friendship and the endurance of love, The Spirit of Covington is pure Medlicott: totally engaging, heart-tugging, and unfailingly true-to-life.

the notebook i wish i'd had for the class..........2001-12-29
Watching Impro.......2000-11-24
The format is very slick and the interface provides for easy navigation aroung an aesthetically pleasing environment. For those studying Forsythe's work, the resource is a must, as not only does Forsythe explain characteristic techniques such as room writing, but several performances by Forsythe as well as by other dancers, demonstrate each of the processes.
The 3D format is certainly the most appealing feature of the resource, and one which makes it stand apart from other resources on choreographers or improvisation.

Practical Intelligence in Everyday Life
Robert J. Sternberg , George B. Forsythe , Jennifer Hedlund , Joseph A. Horvath , Richard K. Wagner , Wendy M. Williams , Scott A. Snook , and Elena Grigorenko Manufacturer: Cambridge University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0521659582 |
Book Description
This path-breaking book reviews psychological research on practical intelligence and describes its importance in everyday life. The authors reveal the importance of tacit knowledge--what we have learned from our own experience, through action. Although it has been seen as an indispensable element of expertise, intelligence researchers have found it difficult to quantify. Based on years of research, Dr. Sternberg and his colleagues have found that tacit knowledge can be quantified and can be taught. This volume thoroughly examines studies of practical intelligence in the United States and in many other parts of the world as well, and for varied occupations, such as management, military leadership, teaching, research, and sales.

Companion to the Roman Army (Blackwell Companions to the Ancient World)
Manufacturer: Blackwell Publishing Limited ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items: ASIN: 140512153X |
Book Description
Ancient Rome was a highly militaristic culture, at war almost annually throughout the period of the republic. The expert contributors to this volume delve into this culture, offering an extensive account of the Roman army, from its beginnings to its transformation in the later Roman Empire. Taking account of the latest scholarly and archaeological research, they examine the recruitment, training, organization, tactics, and weaponry that contributed to Romersquo;s effectiveness as a fighting machine. The volume recognises that, as a military force, the Roman army functioned in a landscape and was an integral part of Roman politics and society. The contributors therefore also explore the ecological, economic, social and political factors that help to explain the characteristic features of the army and its development over time, covering such topics as: demography and manpower, the army as a community, the religions of the soldiers, the emperor as military commander, and veterans in society.

William Forsythe: A special issue of the journal Choreography and Dance
Senta Driver Manufacturer: Routledge ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 9057551284 |
Book Description
This journal Choreography and Dance contains primary source material as well as the perspectives of dance, and cultural critics and a complete list of Forsythe works up to 1998, and previously unpublished rehearsal and performance photographs of rarely seen works.
American choreographer William Forsythe, director of the Ballett Frankfurt, has created new terms and direction for classical ballet during the last twenty years. His influence on ballet aesthetics and his work have galvanized dancers and audiences around the world and secured him a commanding presence on the next generation of dancers. The impact of Forsythe's ideas can be compared to that of Nijinksy's choreography for Diaghilev, and his methods resonate with those of the great modern dance radicals Merce Cunningham and Trisha Brown.
Senta Driver was a Guggenheim Fellow for 1978 and sat on the board of directors and the executive committee of Dance/USA. She is now on the Board of the Dance Notation Bureau. Driver has publ
