Book Description
Stephen Oliver was quite simply, one of the most talented composers of his generation. His premature death at 42 took from the musical world a prodigious talent and a generous patron of the arts.This year, 2010, marks what would have been Stephen’s 60th birthday. To commemorate his unique life his sister and brother, Ruth and James Oliver, have compiled this wonderful book which brings together the biography of his childhood and school days, personal memories and photos, Stephen’s own writings and touchingly, memories of Stephen from many luminaries in the musical, theatrical and operatic world (including actor Sir Simon Callow, lyricist Sir Tim Rice and National Theatre artistic director, Sir Nicholas Hytner). Stephen himself will be best remembered as a prolific composer of some fifty operas – from mini-operas to major works for professional opera companies at home and abroad. He wrote substantial incidental music for the Royal Shakespeare Company (including the epic Nicholas Nickleby) and the BBC (including Lord of the Rings), a musical Blondel (with Tim Rice), together with a large portfolio of choral items. His list of works records over four hundred compositions, all created in just forty two years of life, making him one of the most important British composers of the age. Stephen also wrote and presented the BBC2 series Understanding Opera and was a regular contributor on Radio 4’s Stop the Week. His talks and lectures on music and literature were legendary.This important new book offers anyone with an interest in the arts an overview of one of our most talented, and sadly missed composers – as well as rewarding readers with an insight into the British Arts scene from the 1960s to the 1990s.

Book Description
This book propagates a new way of thinking about managing our resources by integrating the perspectives of complex systems theory and social psychology. By resources, the authors mean objects, such as cell phones and cars, and human resources, such as family members, friends, and the small and large communities they belong to. As we all face the "replace or repair" dichotomy, readers will understand how to repair themselves, their relationships, and communities, accept the "new normal," and contribute to repairing the world. The book is offered to Zoomers, growing up in a world where it seems everything is falling apart; people in their 30s and 40s, who are thinking about how to live a fulfilling life; people from the Boomers generation, who are thinking back on life and how to repair relationships. The Reader will enjoy the intellectual adventure of connecting the natural and social worlds and understanding the transition's pathways from a "throwaway society" to a "repair society.

Book Description
"Men's Friendships" offers an analysis of the differences within each of the genders and the social forces that shape the ways friendship is organized. Through varying perspectives the contributors show that a variation exists within as well as between the genders. They focus on the diversity in men's friendships, and how men develop and maintain friendships with other men and with women. The first section focuses on philosophical and historical questions. Part II illustrates the strong connection between social structure and men's friendships; and the last series of chapters considers cultural diversity. -- From publisher's description.
