In an era which has seen many forms of artistic creation becoming digitized; the practice of drawing; in the traditional sense; has remained constant. However; many publications about the relationship between drawing and thinking rely on discipline-dependent distinctions to discuss the activityrsquo;s function.Drawing: The Enactive Evolution of the Practitioner redefines drawing more holistically as an enactive phenomenon; and makes connections between a variety of disciplines in order to find out how drawing helps us understand the world. Instead of the finite event of producing an artifact; drawing is a process and an end in itself; through which the practitioner might gain self-awareness.By synthesizing enactive thinking and the practice of drawing; this volume provides valuable insights into the creative mind; and will appeal to scholars and practitioners alike.

Wilfongldquo;The Hypochondriacrdquo; is Richard Beanrsquo;s version of Molierersquo;s ldquo;The Imaginary Invalidrdquo;; as literally translated by Chris Campbell. I write that because it is important to understand that this is a modern vernacular revision of the original play. And that is not a bad thing. I have seen ldquo;The Imaginary Invalidrdquo; and ldquo;The Hypochondriacrdquo; in professional performances; and I enjoyed the latter over the former.I read ldquo;The Hypochondriacrdquo; after greatly enjoying a performance at the Stratford Festival. I laughed a lot; and had a wonderful time at the theatre; so I wanted to investigate this version a little more closely. Mr. Bean has taken a lot of s*#t because his version is vulgar; full of doody jokes; and maybe too common for some in the academic community. However; I feel his version is very true to the original intent of Moliere and the updates are merely imitations of what Moliere would do if he were alive today. And that is fine and dandy.I read the text in one afternoon and it is funny. Laugh out loud funny at times. The roles are one dimensional for the most part; but in the hands of a good company of actors they are a delight. The most enjoyable to read are the hypochondriac of the title; Argan; his scheming wife Beline; and his maid Toinette. They have the wittiest dialogue and some of the playrsquo;s better moments. The character through which the audience hears the truth is in the form of Arganrsquo;s brother Beralde; and through him the playrsquo;s morals and wisdom are passed to the reader.What can I say; ldquo;The Hypochondriacrdquo; is fun. I love this version. I would see and read it again. Pour a couple of glasses of wine; sit in a comfy chair and enjoy.
