Basic directory for weekends, weak for relocation.......2004-01-16
Obviously it's hard to communicate what truly makes a Great Town 'tick' in a directory-style book. Telluride versus Vail among Rockies ski-towns? Very different flavors, but you'd hardly know it from GREAT TOWNS. I feel there is a distinct lack of critical opinion between the covers. As a result, web browsing is far more informative.
Interesting footnote: at the back is a scoring system to rate 'livability' for people considering moving. Towns that voted for Republican Presidential candidates get a 'good' score on politics.

Wayward Monks and the Religious Revolution of the Eleventh Century (Brill's Studies in Intellectual History)
P. G. Jestice , and Phyllis G. Jestice Manufacturer: Brill Academic Publishers ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 9004107223 |
Book Description
Examining a central change in European religious thought, this study investigates the changing roles of monks in society to help understand the reform of Christian ideology. It is based on extant monastic writings, including hagiography and polemics. The book explains the diversification of monasticism in this period as an outgrowth of a shift toward greater interest in lay religious life. Focusing on the German Empire, it examines monastic values in such areas as missionary work, public preaching, pilgrimage, and the polemics of the gregorian reform. The sections on the role of polemic as a catalyst and reflection of monastic change and on missionary activities as part of ecclesiastical reform are especially important for the historian of religion. The book fills an important gap in the study of central European monasticism.

Strategies of Drama: The Experience of Form (Contributions in Drama and Theatre Studies)
Oscar Lee Brownstein Manufacturer: Greenwood Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0313277540 |
Book Description
In this unique study of the dramatic form, Oscar Lee Brownstein presents a personal analysis of the way in which experience is created by drama. A variety of plays are discussed and examined as perceptual objects, structures whose designs are entirely determined by the fact that they are meant to be perceived. Brownstein focuses on the distinct aspects of the dramatic art form and on its special powers to orchestrate the imagination and produce a personal encounter in the lives of spectators. In so doing, he provides a practical critical theory of drama that is sophisticated yet accessible. Approaching drama from a phenomenological perspective, Brownstein strives not to interpret the plays themselves, but rather his own perceptions and the sources that prompted them. Covering the wide history of Western drama from the Greeks to the present day, he treats in detail a small number of works that are readily familiar. He offers an extensive theoretical survey of the "perception shift" that infuses even the smallest element of a play, as well as those forces that are expressed through major dramatic strategies. Also addressed are the ways in which a single narrative sequence may serve all dramatic strategies. Some of the plays discussed include King Lear, A Streetcar Named Desire, Betrayal, Oedipus Rex, and Waiting for Godot. This work will be an important resource for students of dramaturgy, criticism, and dramatic theory, as well as for writers, directors, and actors involved in the dramatic arts.
