Without a doubt; Katsushika Hokusai is the most famous Japanese artist since the middle of the nineteenth century whose art is known to the Western world. Reflecting the artistic expression of an isolated civilisation; the works of Hokusai - one of the first Japanese artists to emerge in Europe - greatly influenced the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist painters; such as Vincent van Gogh. Considered during his life as a living Ukiyo-e master; Hokusai fascinates us with the variety and the significance of his work; which spanned almost ninety years and is presented here in all its breadth and diversity.

Great for facilitators and educatorsBy tflefevreThe "Applied Theatre" series edited by Sheila Preston and Michael Balfour has been a fantastic addition to my library and my teaching. I find each text well organized; diverse in writing and themes; and highly accessible. Each book generally begins with an introduction to the books topic (this one is centered around facilitation) and is followed by a number of case studies exploring different theoretical and practical applications. The books end with a section of further research questions; new trends in the field; and connections the book editor is drawing between the case studies. After reading the other texts in the series; I eagerly awaited this publication and can already say Ive requested my university library buy their own copy. This and OConner and Andersons Research: Radical Developments have been my favorite of the series (you can find that one here: https://www..com/Applied-Theatre-Research-Radical-Departures/dp/1472509617/ref=pd_sim_14_2?ie=UTF8psc=1refRID=8DB2M61KK27BXV0J02X0).
