Susan Glaspell and Sophie Treadwell presents critical introductions to two of the most significant American dramatists of the early twentieth century. Glaspell and Treadwell led American Theatre from outdated melodrama to the experimentation of great European playwrights like Ibsen; Strindberg and Shaw. This is the first book to deal with Glaspell and Treadwellrsquo;s plays from a theatrical; rather than literary; perspective; and presents a comprehensive overview of their work from lesser known plays to seminal productions of Trifles and Machinal. Although each woman pursued her own themes; subjects and manner of stage production; this shared volume underscores the theatrical and cultural conditions influencing female playwrights in modern America.

The examples he had in the 2008 workshop are now well documented and easy to followBy LarryI took a foundation design course taught by Alexander Newman in 2008. At the time; his Metal Building Systems book was a bit out of date. He had a course workbook that contained newer information; but the material was still in draft and some of it handwritten. I just bought this new edition of his book; and find it to be superb. The examples he had in the 2008 workshop are now well documented and easy to follow.You can also apply his design principles to other types of building structures.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Just what I needed . . .By Charles Eric DensonFound this to be a very well written / easily understandable reference. Some of the calculations took some time to sort through because I hadnt seen the equations for a while; but the issue was my lack of familiarity with the subject matter; not the presentation of the information. The only thing that would have made it easier for me would have been if the sample problems would have been in MathCAD so that you could see the unit conversions as they happened vice backing into them using the text/numbers provided. As you see; I still rate it a 5-star reference and will keep it handy on my bookshelf of reference materials.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.
