The Lively Art

In its outstanding eighth edition, Theatre: The Lively Art remains the best-selling Introductory Theatre text for Theatre Appreciation courses. It incorporates a number of elements in one volume: An introduction to the audience’s experience of theatre An investigation of the elements of theatre: the audience; the text; theatre artists, including actors, directors, theatrical space; and scenic, costume, lighting and sound design A study of the important developments in the history of theatre Several qualities set Theatre: The Lively Art apart from other introductory texts. A particularly important element is our emphasis on the audience. All students reading the book are potential theatregoers, not just during their college years but throughout their lives. We have therefore attempted to make Theatre: The Lively Art an ideal one-volume text to prepare students as future audience members. It will give them a grasp of how theatre functions, of how it should be viewed and judged, and of the tradition behind any performance they may attend. In addition to serving as an ideal text for non-majors, Theatre: The Lively Art will also prepare students who wish to continue studies in theatre, as majors, minors, or students from other disciplines who take advanced courses.

We the People is the number one book for American government because of its unparalleled ability to help students understand American government--how it applies to them, and how they can participate. In her first edition as coauthor, Andrea Campbell used stories of real people to show students how government and politics can affect their lives and how individual participation matters. Now Campbell takes her emphasis on the citizen's role one step further with new How To guides that present concrete steps to effective political participation. With InQuizitive, a powerful, adaptive learning tool, as well as critical thinking exercises and NEW Weekly News Quizzes, We the People offers a wide array of resources to help students learn the concepts of American government and apply them to their own lives.
