Robert Holman Livres

A subtle and renowned trilogy of plays that focus on the human stories behind the history of war.

Robert Holman writes plays of startling beauty, combining close observation of the way people behave with a thrilling and often fiercely uncompromising mastery of dramatic form. He is the playwright most admired by other playwrights. To Simon Stephens, he is 'My favourite living writer'.

Butch: Not Like the Other Girls is a photographic exploration of the liminal spaces occupied by female masculinity in contemporary communities. Its first incarnation exhibited as a public art project in transit shelters around Vancouver in March-April 2013, with a simultaneous gallery show at the Vancouver East Cultural Centre (the Cultch). According to Cultch administrators, the opening night (which attracted over 500 attendees and spilled out into the street for half a block) was the largest visual art opening in their 35-year history. The project caused an internet sensation, generating thousands of posts and shares on social media, blog posts as far away as Germany and Denmark, and interest for further exhibitions across Canada and the United States. This project delineates Butch as an inclusive site of resistance to limitations on the way women, gender, and sexuality are still defined. The images honour the beauty, power, and diversity of women who transgress the gender binary, interspersed with text written by the photographic subjects themselves. The transversal dialectic of female masculinity is celebrated here - unapologetic and undiluted. The author positions Butch as intrinsically queer. They explore the complex and contradictory natures of butch, glorying in our mercurial and perhaps sometimes confusing natures. Butch not only forces a reassessment of the body and the queer subject, it dismantles socialized, role-defined, gender appropriate behaviour. The queer cultures in which Butch is situated are constantly changing, and the author captures a diverse range of portrayals that celebrate and reflect butch identities. In the context of transgender movements, intersex activism, and genderqueer dialogues, a project like Butch on picturing and mirroring butch finds an important place

Widely studied at A level, Across Oka was first staged by the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1988. This volume also includes a chronology of Holman's life and work, the background to the play, a discussion of themes and characters, and a selection of production photographs.

A gripping play about the nature of violence. schovat popis

An enlightening, cathartic and acerbic play about identity, maturity and reconciliation.

On the necessity of boundary-crossing friendships for Christian discipleship Friendship isn’t always given a lot of thought—and lately, it doesn’t get a lot of time and effort, either. But in a world of busy and isolated lives, in which friendships can too easily become shallow, tenuous, and homogeneous, Dana Robert insists that good friendships are a vital and transformative part of the Christian life—a mustard seed of the kingdom of God. She believes Christians have the responsibility—and opportunity—to be countercultural by making friends across cultural, racial, socioeconomic, and religious lines that separate people from each other. In this book Robert tells the stories of Christians who, despite or even because of difficult circumstances, experienced friendship with people unlike themselves as “God with us,” as exile, as testimony, and as celebration. Jesus was a  friend  to his disciples. Through Jesus’s life and the lives of his followers down through the ages,  Faithful Friendships  shows readers how friendship can become life-changing—and even worldchanging.

Sbírka řešených otázek a příkladů k učebnici Mikroekonomie profesora Roberta Holmana slouží studentům k procvičení probírané látky a tím i k jejímu důkladnějšímu pochopení. Je tedy vhodnou studijní pomůckou k přípravě na zkoušku. Otázky a příklady jsou zaměřeny na aplikování ekonomické teorie na situace, s nimiž se studenti mohou v ekonomické praxi i v běžném životě setkat. Učebnice Mikroekonomie obsahuje studijní látku středně pokročilého kurzu. Její obsah je koncipován spíše verbálně a graficky nežli matematicky – tomu také odpovídá konstrukce otázek a příkladů v této cvičebnici. Sbírka řešených otázek a příkladů pomůže čtenářům lépe porozumět mikroekonomickým vztahům a přispěje tak k jejich většímu zájmu o tuto ekonomickou disciplínu.

Autor na příkladech ze života ukazuje ekonomické souvislosti. V krátkých „povídkách“ vystupují postavy se jmény Alf, Beáta, atd. nebo například země Alfa, Beta a další. Nechybí zde ani notná dávka humoru. Povídky jsou od ostatního textu odděleny jiným podkladem a rámečkem, stejně tak jako další části knihy a těmi jsou konkrétní případy, které se skutečně udály – jedná se například o vývoj HDP v samostatné České republice, vývoj nezaměstnanosti, inflace atd. Nejsou zde ovšem informace pouze o České republice – články o radikálním ozdravení státní pošty v Austrálii, o hospodářské krizi 30.let, o ropných šocích let 80. nebo o hyperinflaci v německých zemích po 1. světové válce, jsou vskutku velmi poutavé.
