Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All of us are social creatures; we need and want others in our lives. However, too often we feel we dont fit or belong anywhere. When people dont feel they belong or fit in, they misbehave. We have learned how not to behave, and we are very good at it. We need common sense approaches to improving relationships among all age groups and cultures. Common sense approaches, ideas and tried-and-true methods abound in the book. There are stories to tell about real people. Some will make us laugh, and some will make us want to think more deeply about the way we are living our lives and developing long-term relationships. Learning more about ourselves is essential to becoming a happier, better-behaved person. Learning about others through stories, the Four Goals of Misbehavior and family dynamics can lighten the load.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Broadway musical has greatly influenced American (and world) culture. Such shows as Oklahoma! and Annie Get Your Gun are as 'American as apple pie,' while the long runs of imports like Cats, The Phantom of the Opera, and Les MisZrables have broken records. Broadway has produced such cultural icons as Ethel Merman, Yul Brynner, and Julie Andrews, and composers and lyricists such as Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Richard Rodgers, Oscar Hammerstein, Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and many others have had their melodies sung on its stages. Visionaries like George Abbott, Agnes de Mille, Jerome Robbins, Bob Fosse, Tommy Tune, and Susan Stroman have brought productions to life through their innovative direction and choreography. Since the latter part of the 19th century, the Broadway musical has remained one of the most popular genres in entertainment and its history is related in detail in The A to Z of the Broadway Musical. Through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and 900 dictionary entries on Broadway shows, playwrights, directors, producers, designers, and actors, this handy desk reference offers quick information on the many aspects of the Broadway musical.

Download or read book Yacht Were You Thinking written by Jonathan Eyers and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-08-24 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Naming a boat is as personal as naming a baby (even if few male skippers would risk telling the wife that). The culmination of many years of dreaming and penny pinching, the purchase of a boat of any size is a huge event for any sailor, and with that comes serious naming pressure. Many boatowners have a secret fear that someone else got their brilliantly original name first – or ruined it forever by reducing its reputation to snigger-worthy opprobrium. Sometimes it's so difficult to name a boat that skippers are desperate enough to ask the sorts of people who think Boaty McBoatface would be a good choice... The perfect gift for any skipper or would-be skipper, and featuring hundreds of common and uncommon names, this entertaining little book will answer perhaps the most important question new owners should ask themselves: what will this name say about me? And as everyone knows, once you've named a boat, you never ever change it, so it also answers the question: what is my boat name saying about me right now? Names will be categorised (and listed alphabetically within these chapters) as to: - Populist (helpfully yacht insurers release ranked lists of popular names each year, which has revealed some very interesting trends) - Don't Even Go There (they might be uncommon these days, but sometimes there's a good reason for that) - Pun Intended (some reveal a classic wit, others reveal just how many desperate unfunny dullards there are sailing around in yachts called Seas the Day) - A Bit of Pedigree (good names – but probably too classy for you to get away with copying them) - Common as Muck (bad names – Moondancer, Wave Catcher and others that sound like names from a bad children's novel: where they come from, why they're bad, and how to avoid inventing another) - Too Much Information (why using a boat to celebrate a bonus/retirement/divorce/second wife tends to be a bad idea a few months down the road) - The Devil's Own (don't tempt fate by calling your boat Invincible, as the Royal Navy did each time the last one sank/exploded – plus other superstition-violating names) With fascinating history, a fair bit of psychology and a lot of humour, this is the essential guide for all would-be boat owners, and anyone looking for a dad-type gift on Father's Day or Christmas.
