You can almost hear Tim Gunn's distinct voice as you read this book. His thoughts translate as well on paper as they do on television. In the "Who You Are" chapter he sets you at ease with his characteristic warmth as he tells you that you are who you are for a reason and he is here to help you accentuate your positive features and mitigate the negative ones. He recognizes that there is a connection between inner and outer beauty and encourages you to think hard about who you are. This book doesn't contain lots of details about what to wear or not to wear. He zeroes in on the basics - he provides a top ten list of wardrobe essentials (he convinced me that ballet flats are necessary, for instance) - and doesn't overwhelm the reader. There is a chapter devoted to posture and walking. A chapter devoted to style icons ranging from Katharine Hepburn to Kate Moss to Patti Smith. Instructions for how to dress for various special occasions. There's a chapter about the challenge of finding the... See less

Here is the fitness solution you've been waiting for--a wonderful workout you can do right from your own bed. Anyone can benefit from this simple program, especially including seniors and people recovering from surgery or injury. The series of forty-two exercises draw upon yoga, Pilates, karate, and stretching. The easy-to-do routine is grouped into three sections: exercises to be done lying on your back, sides, and stomach. Regular practice will tone muscles, increase strength and endurance, calm the mind and, yes, even improve sleep! Each exercise is described in detail, fully illustrated with a series of step-by-step photographs, and includes modifications for specific health and lifestyle conditions. "For more than twenty years we have been telling athletes, "You're getting weaker or stronger, there's no in-between..." A simple but consistent program is the key. Now, Tartell and Kavanau have put it all together in a very simple, easy-to-follow, comprehensive approach to restoring... See less

In his most extraordinary book, "one of the great clinical writers of the 20th century" (The New York Times) recounts the case histories of patients lost in the bizarre, apparently inescapable world of neurological disorders. Oliver Sacks's The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat tells the stories of individuals afflicted with fantastic perceptual and intellectual aberrations: patients who have lost their memories and with them the greater part of their pasts; who are no longer able to recognize people and common objects; who are stricken with violent tics and grimaces or who shout involuntary obscenities; whose limbs have become alien; who have been dismissed as retarded yet are gifted with uncanny artistic or mathematical talents.If inconceivably strange, these brilliant tales remain, in Dr. Sacks's splendid and sympathetic telling, deeply human. They are studies of life struggling against incredible adversity, and they enable us to enter the world of the neurologically impaired, to... See less

ACTIONS: The Actors' Thesaurus is a vital companion for actors in rehearsal—a thesaurus of action words to revitalize performance. Actors need actions. Actors cannot ‘act’ adjectives, they need verbs. Verbs are an aim to achieve, an action to perform. ‘Actions’ are active verbs. ‘I tempt you.’ ‘You taunt me.’ In order to perform an action truthfully--and therefore convincingly-- an actor needs to find exactly the right action to suit that particular situation and that particular line. That is where this book comes in…. ACTIONS is a thesaurus of active verbs that the actor can use to refine performance until s/he hits exactly the right one to help make the action come alive. ACTIONS: The Actors’ Thesaurus by Marina Caldarone & Maggie Lloyd-Williams has gathered together the (formerly) dogged-eared photocopied lists of action verbs from greenrooms and rehearsal rooms and put them together in this pocket-sized thesaurus. All with a view to helping actors get to the heart of meaning and to... See less

Don't look to this book--a genuine autobiography, with no taint of the ghostwriter's art--for dirt and gossip, for hints on how best to interpret such bel canto roles as the heroine of Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor, or for help with developing a bel canto technique of one's own. The Autobiography of Joan Sutherland is a book for the true fans of the great Australian prima donna, one of the finest sopranos of all time, and one of the most hard-working and professional singers to appear in recent decades. Sutherland primarily chronicles her life as an operatic diva; she skips rather quickly through her childhood, even dealing with the trauma of her father's death on her 6th birthday in a single tight-lipped paragraph. You may find many more details than you need on her travels and performances, but what shines through is the portrait of a dedicated artist who readily acknowledges what she owes to her colleagues, and most particularly to her husband/coach/conductor, Richard Bonynge....

The most remarkable thing about this extraordinary collection is how well it lives up to its ambitious title. It is, in fact, full of great moments, and even when it falls short of greatness (for example, in Birgit Nilsson's note-perfect but too tranquil "Pace, pace" from La forza del destino), the standard is high. A list of the participants' names is almost a who's who of the international opera elite in the 1950s and '60s--or, more specifically, of those who were singing at the Metropolitan Opera and thereby available in New York for Ed Sullivan's "Show of Shows." Intellectuals tended to look down on this show, but it did book the best talent available and it let them do what they did best--essentially, the most familiar highlights from the standard repertoire. In the (unspecified) years that supplied these performances, the show's style changed: color replaced black and white; scenery and costumes gave way to formal evening wear and concert interpretations (though Richard Tucker...
