beware: opinion often masquerading as fact...
Usher: "What he may say you needn't mind."
Very insightful and straight to the point
A new and interesting slant on the Savoy operas Now from that same august publisher comes a volume I might seriously consider as a fourth: "A Most Ingenious Paradox" by Gayden Wren. Having worked most of his life in the theatre and specializing in Gilbert & Sullivan, Wren has come up with the thesis that "Beneath the surface charm of the Savoy operas...lies a powerful thematic core that makes their works effective to this day" (p. 4). Well, so it is with Shakespeare, Shaw, and even Rodgers & Hart. It is the examples offered up by Wren that affords so much surprise and delight. The book is organized into fairly self-contained chapters.The first deals with "Gilbert before Sullivan," the second with "Sullivan before Gilbert." Then we have a chapter for each of the 14 works, followed by a chapter about their careers after "The Grand Duke" and a final one about their "Legacy." There follows an appendix with plot outlines, details about the original "Ruddygore" script and score, notes, an excellent critical bibliography, and index. I think that directors will appreciate the emphasis Wren puts upon the seriousness that underlies some of the works, and not only "Yeomen of the Guard." For example, considerthe scene just before the finale between Iolanthe and the Lord Chancellor in which things do become "life or death" and which could easily lead to an unhappy ending with no violence to what has gone before. Of course, the public expected a happy ending with G&S, but that was no reason they had to get one. His remarks about "The Mikado," although confined to only 15 pages did make me suddenly aware of how Gilbert keeps tipping his hand all through by having the characters call attention to their being in a play: "Japanese don't use pocket-handkerchiefs," "the Japanese equivalent for Hear, hear, hear," "Virtue is triumphant only in theatrical performances," and so on.I part company on him with him on some remarks about "Princess Ida," but his comparison between the opera and the Tennyson original is quite revealing. In general, I kept nodding and thinking about most of his conclusions with "Of course, I should have realized that years ago." The style is friendly, the author taking it for granted, of course, that you know the plots of the operas fairly well to begin with. Yes, I think I might recommend this as the fourth essential book. But please give it a try and let me know what you think. A little postscript would be in order here. Naxos is reissuing at budget prices the old "Martyn Green" G&S sets that used to be available on London and then Richmond mono LPs. Thus far they have added to their catalogue "The Mikado," "HMS Pinafore," "Pirates of Penzance/Trial by Jury," and just this month "The Gondoliers." Anyone intererested in the Wren book would certainly want to own these vintage recordings. ... Read more |

Not Happy
A good introduction... This book turns on five major principles:The Principle of Opportunity Cost; the Marginal Principle; the Principle of Diminishing Returns; the Spillover Principle; and finally, the Reality Principle.In each chapter, these key principles are repeated and emphasised.There is actually a logic to economics (although it is not always presented in an intuitively logical format). O'Sullivan and Sheffrin work on a pedagogic principle of Active Learning (perhaps derived from the sound of snoring coming from the student body during at least one of the lectures from one of the authors!).These involve examples and exercises that require thought and detective work, as well as applying the tools that are demonstrated in the chapters.The examples drawn are often from real life situations, to give them grounding in reality (it always helps if an instructor can answer the question, 'when am I ever going to need this?'). The instructional set includes web applications, CD-ROM and video aids, and various print supplements. A typical semester lasts 15-16 weeks.This text is organised into 17 chapters, some of which can be combined as joint lessons.They cover all the primary economics issues, such as supply and demand, production, elasticity issues, monopoly and competition issues, labour market issues, unemployment, inflation, and more advanced ideas about monetary and fiscal policy, with the beginnings of economic theory and philosophy (particularly Keynesian economics).There are chapters that deal with 'glamourous' issues such as international trade and finance,which may or may not be used, depending upon the pacing of class. The layout of the book is visually interesting.The use of photography and multi-coloured backgrounds, text and charts sets this apart from the standard, dry economics tome.The writing is sharp and concise, to keep students from getting lost in supposedly erudite (but often confusing) treatises on economic ideas. The one drawback I have noticed as a tutor of economics is that the graphs and charts introduced early on need more explanation.They are explained mathematically and theoretically, but there is an intuitive leap that doesn't seem to be happening from text to student - the understanding of supply curves, demand curves, and other similar graphing tools remains a bit of a mystery until demonstrated repeatedly (for example, questions I answer frequently include, 'if demand goes up, why does the curve go down?' and 'why is it called a curve if it is a straight line?').More work with this part of the text early in the text would be helpful. ...

Editorial Review Product Description As Frege and Russell were attempting to "tidy up" the logical foundations of mathematics in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, they both sensed a need for rigorous and semantic analysis of a much more wide-ranging sort. The effect of their development of this style of analysis was to establish the philosophy of language as an autonomous area of inquiry, and, to a large extent, to define its subject matter. The works included in this collection are paradigm instances of the subsequently influential maxim that semantic analysis is a necessary precursor to any systematic inquiry. In all, 15 selections by Frege and Russell are included. The editor also provides a substantial introduction discussing the historical background and explaining how it came to be that the tools and methods developed by these two great philosophers with the purpose of establishing a logicist thesis, came to constitute the foundation of the analytic philosophical tradition. |
