Euripides classic about the woman who murders her own children in revenge for her husbands infidelity; here given a distinctive Scots flavour by the poet and playwright Liz Lochhead. Winner of the Saltire Societys award for SCOTTISH BOOK OF THE YEAR 2001 This outstanding work should firmly establish the Glasgow playwright as Scotlands greatest living dramatist... the finest piece I have seen on the Scottish stage this year - Scotland on Sunday Liz Lochheads stunning new version of Medea is the kind of interpretation - brave; visionary; risky - that blows a well-known text apart and reassembles it in a completely new light... ancient but new; cosmic yet agonisingly familiar - Scotsman Some of the most exciting recent work on Greek drama in the English language - Sunday Times

Ways of Seeing and Ways of WritingBy Joongwon LeeI like this book a lot.The book has three weaving threads that bind interesting issues.The first thread is introduction of multiple writers (Mumford; Huxatable;Muschamp; Goldberger; Sorkin; Kamin; Sullivan; Jacobs; etc);The second thread is introduction of diverse urban and architectural perspectives;and the third thread is; in showing first and second; Prof. Lange was able to showhow each writers perspective shaped the style of ones writing andthe constructs of ones writing.I guess good writings help us to shape a new perspective about the subject matter.This book does this job diligently. Not only does this book help us to writeclearly about architecture; but also it helps us to categorize viewpoints of each writer and their writing style.By selecting a certain piece of writing of each writer;Prof. Lange illustrates her ways of seeing physical environment andeffective ways (paragraph constructs; sentence tones; and vocabulary selections; etc)of delivering that perspective.If a prospect reader is an avid architecture reader; all the sample writingsare pretty familiar; hence; such reader will enjoy more about Prof. Langesanalysis on each critics viewpoints and their corresponding writing style.That is the real beauty of this book.I personally enjoyed Prof. Langes writings more than the great writers ofpast and present.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A deeper look at your own communityBy Kindle CustomerA diverse selection of previously published articles by some of the nations foremost critics accompanied by thematic essays compel readers to think about architecture and its impact on communities more deeply. The book assembles; deconstructs; analyzes; and explains in a manner that encourages readers not only to look at buildings and landscapes more critically but to write about them in order to create better communities.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
