Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Profiling 30 mask makers from around the world, this book explores the motivations and challenges of contemporary artists working to bring the traditional methods and conventions of mask making to an evolving global theatre. There are 181 photographs--including two sections of color plates--which illustrate how the mythic iconography of masks is used in the modern fields of dance, mime, theatre and storytelling. Topics include the ways in which mask artists and performers maintain a sense of universality despite varying local customs; the legacies of Italian mask makers Amleto and Donato Sartori and of the California-based Dell'Arte International School of Physical Theatre; and the ways in which traditional approaches in mask artistry continue to influence commercial mask performance ventures in film, on Broadway, and in touring companies.

Book excerpt: Christianity has endured for two thousand years, weathering the challenges of clerical corruption, religious wars, internal schism, and scientific criticism. Today, however, there is increasing evidence that institutional Christianity is succumbing to the growing secularism of contemporary society. Both church attendance and the number of clergy have noticeably declined. Will Christianity survive for another thousand years, or even a hundred years? In this probing assessment of the state of Christianity, biblical scholar Arthur J. Bellinzoni boldly asserts that Christianity must break with the past and offer a new vision of the future if it hopes to survive. Addressing four issues of central concern, Bellinzoni advocates a radical rethinking of the Christian message. First, he suggests that the God concept must move beyond obsolete notions of a personal God and take its inspiration from such diverse sources as science, Taoism, Moses, Thomas Jefferson, and Martin Buber. Second, Bellinzoni urges a more sophisticated approach to the Bible, one that values its timeless elements but is not afraid to discard its many antiquated features. Third, he recommends a new emphasis on Jesus' social ethic, arguing that this could lead to a dramatic redistribution of the world's wealth and greater respect for the planet. Fourth, Bellinzoni criticizes the persistence of obsolete myth in Christianity, demonstrating that, without its mythical embellishments, Christianity still offers a relevant understanding of the meaning of human existence. A work of erudition that is also completely accessible to the lay reader, The Future of Christianity provides a stimulating critique that forward-thinking Christians will welcome.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining American politics, society, and culture from Kennedy to Nixon, this book ties all of these elements together and explains the political mythology that has made this period one of the most fascinating and important epochs in American history. One of the strengths of the book is that it not only demonstrates, but also explains, the deeper mechanisms behind our continual fascination with these three particular presidents. From the Kennedy assassination through Vietnam and Watergate, a complex web of historical events is untangled and lucidly explained. There have been few efforts to examine the nature of Kennedy's continual appeal, but no work thus far has attempted to place Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon in one coherent framework that not only explains our fascination - indeed, obsession - with these individuals, but also illuminates the period in history they so dominated.

Book excerpt: Discusses Disraeli's image in his lifetime, and the myth of the "Jewish Prime Minister" after his death. During his life, Disraeli was proud of his belonging to the "noble Jewish race." His friends and enemies, as well, never forgot that he was born a Jew. When attacking him, his political adversaries (Gladstone and others) first of all attacked his Jewish origins. They questioned the sincerity of his baptism and his British patriotism. The antisemitic campaign against Disraeli peaked in 1875-78, in the time of the "Turkish atrocities, " when he was blamed for promoting Jewish interests. Disraeli's death (1881) coincided with the beginning of a mass Jewish immigration to Britain and a revival of antisemitism in the country. With the rise of political antisemitism throughout the Western world, Disraeli became an example of "the international Jew" pushing for world power. After World War I, his image was also used by radical antisemites and especially the Nazis and their sympathizers as a demonstration of the "world Jewish conspiracy."
