Book SynopsisThe works of Shakespeare remain a staple of the theatrical and academic worlds, yet even non-experts enjoy his works. On the television program "Jeopardy," for example, "Shakespeare" is a category at least once a week. Bard Games demands recognition of quotations, but always in the context of matching them with the speakers, so that less experienced readers have help, while the more ambitious can work independently. In addition, the quizzes are arranged roughly in order of difficulty, with the most challenging at the end of the book, while individual quizzes, too, move from easier questions to harder ones.Trade ReviewIf you think you know something about Shakespeare (as I used to), you're sure find this book challenging, perhaps frustrating, but in any case enormous fun. -- Michael J. Chepiga , playwright of Getting and Spending and recipient of the Beverly Hills Theater Guild Julie Harris Playwright Award and L. AA delightful and sophisticated compendium for Shakespeare enthusiasts. -- David A. Brush, Ph.D., Chair, History Department, Pomfret School...[A] choice pick, very much recommended reading. * Midwest Book Review *A deceptively thin Shakespeare quiz book, Bard Games is a toughie sure to level even the nerdiest of theatre geeks. * American Theatre *Fascinating fun for both novices and Shakespeare experts alike. * Renaissance Magazine *

Book Synopsis" 'Nothing' is the force That renovates the World." —EMILY DICKINSON "I love talking about nothing....It is the only thing I know anything about." –OSCAR WILDE "Nothingness lies coiled in the heart of being—like a worm." —JEAN-PAUL SARTRE "Who in this world has not felt the power of this: a nothing!"—VICTOR HUGO Whether a subject of dread or of fascination, nothing (often spelled with a capital "N") has intrigued writers, philosophers, and scientists since ancient times. In this sound-bite history of the concept of nothing, distinguished journalist Joan Konner—author of the bestselling The Atheist's Bible—has created a unique anthology devoted to, well, ... nothing. The collection brings together, in one portable volume, the thoughts of well-known writers and philosophers, artists and musicians, poets and playwrights, geniuses and jokers, demonstrating that some of the finest minds explored, feared, confronted, experienced, and played with the real or imagined presence of nothing in their lives. Paradoxical? Yes, indeed. You Don't Have to Be Buddhist to Know Nothing shows that, like many Eastern sages, deep thinkers in the West also recognized and pondered nonexistence as an essential component and complement of existence itself. Organized in short topical chapters from "Knowing Nothing" to the "Joy of Unknowing" and "Nothing is Sacred," the verbal snapshots captured in this collection create a coherent work of insight, wisdom, humor and wonder. You Don't Have to Be Buddhist to Know Nothing is compelling enough to be read all at once or in short bursts, as the spirit moves.Trade Review"The quotes -- always insightful, sometimes wickedly funny--are by thinkers of all stripes, such as Sylvia Plath, Bob Dylan, Lao Tzu, and Shakespeare." -- Shambhala Sun, December 2009/January 2010Table of ContentsPreface; Introduction; Book I: Before; Book II: Here Goes Nothing; Book III: In Residence; Book IV: Public Library; Book V: Concert Hall; Book VI: School; Book VII: Museum; Book VIII: Theatre District; Book IX: House of Worship; Book X: Downtown; Book XI: City Limits.

Book SynopsisSteve Jobs, CEO of Apple Inc., was truly one of this generation’s most innovative and forward-thinking entrepreneurs. Apple, under his vision and direction, changed the way people interact with each other and think about technology. Known as much for his genius as his privacy, the advice and knowledge he did share with the world gives exclusive insight into the most important man of the past century. “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma—which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.” “We have always been shameless about stealing great ideas.” “The cure for Apple is not cost-cutting. The cure for Apple is to innovate its way out of its current predicament.” “Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything—all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure—these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.”
