Arcadia: A Play

Tom Stoppard

Faber & Faber, 1994

"In an ocean of ashes, islands of order . . ."
Though I am very fond of "The Invention of Love," "Jumpers, " "The Real Thing," "The Real Inspector Hound," and "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, " this is Stoppard's best play, his most beautiful and most moving. We get the usual Stoppard erudition and the usual ...

Wit : A Play

Margaret Edson

Faber & Faber, 1999

Wit analysis
I read this book for a nursing class I am taking. It's a wonderful depiction of hospitalization, giving accurate portrayals of doctors, nurses and patients, which is surprising being written by a lay person. It was an easy read, about 45 minutes. I would recommend this ...

The Animator's Survival Kit

Richard Williams

Faber & Faber, 2002

An indispensable reference
This a must-purchase for the starting animator. I read The Illusion of Life first, which was a lot of words and theory but fewer walk-throughs (though you should buy that, too!). Get it, you won't be disappointed.

Igumen Chariton

Faber & Faber, 1997

Simplicity Itself
in as few words as possible i would like to say that this is like a bible for me - i have just started reading it and already i can feel the sheer power in its utter humility - the way in which the use of prayer is explained to be the essence of any method or practice ...
