William Esper, one of the leading acting teachers of our time, explains and extends Sanford Meisner''s legendary technique, offering a clear, concrete, step-by-step approach to becoming a truly creative actor.Esper worked closely with Meisner for seventeen years and has spent decades developing his famous program for actor''s training. The result is a rigorous system of exercises that builds a solid foundation of acting skills from the ground up, and that is flexible enough to be applied to any challenge an actor faces, from soap operas to Shakespeare. Co-writer Damon DiMarco, a former student of Esper''s, spent over a year observing his mentor teaching first-year acting students. In this book he recreates that experience for us, allowing us to see how the progression of exercises works in practice. The Actor''s Art and Craft vividly demonstrates that good training does not constrain actors'' instincts—it frees them to create characters with truthful and compelling inner lives.From the Trade Paperback edition.

William Esper, one of the most celebrated acting teachers of our time, takes us through his step-by-step approach to the central challenge of advanced acting work: creating and playing a character. Esper’s first book, The Actor’s Art and Craft, earned praise for describing the basics taught in his famous first-year acting class. The Actor’s Guide to Creating a Character continues the journey. In these pages, co-author Damon DiMarco vividly re-creates Esper’s second-year course, again through the experiences of a fictional class. Esper’s training builds on Sanford Meisner’s legendary exercises, a world-renowned technique that Esper further developed through his long association with Meisner and the decades he has spent training a host of distinguished actors. His approach is flexible enough to apply to any role, helping actors to create characters with truthful and compelling inner lives.

When Bill Baroni was just twenty years old, he was convinced he was dying. He thought he was having a heart attack because it felt like he had an elephant sitting on his chest. It turned out to be only indigestion, but more than that, it was the wake up call he needed to save his life. Bill weighed 320 pounds and was hooked on junk food. He set about to change his life forever, and now, in Fat Kid Gets Fit, he tells you everything you need to know to lose weight and more importantly, keep it off for the rest of your life.
No, he’s not a doctor. Not a trainer. Not a salesman hawking gym equipment, vitamin supplements, or workout videos. He did not have gastric bypass surgery and he didn’t subscribe to the slimming grapefruit enema regimes used by Hollywood stars. He lost his weight using common sense. It took dedication, and even some gumption. But it worked! He lost 120 pounds and, more importantly, he has kept it off! He has maintained a healthy 185 pounds for fifteen years. At 6’5”, he is trim, handsome, and healthy.
Bill is a man on a mission—to help get everyone fit, no matter what their story is.

Damon DiMarco's Tower Stories: An Oral History of 9/11 (20th Anniversary Commemorative Edition), eternally preserves a monumental tragedy in American history through the voices of the people who were in New York City on that fateful day. At the same time, the individuals featured in the book speak to the myriad ways by which Americans rose to meet the challenges presented by 9/11, and celebrates the many heroes that are found within its pages.In the tradition of Studs Terkel, DiMarco's literary time capsule includes a wide variety of viewpoints, including: The small group of people who miraculously made it safely down from the 89th floor of Tower 1, the New York Times reporter who desperately fought her way through the fleeing crowds to get back into Lower Manhattan, the paramedic who set up a triage area 200 yards from the base of the Towers before they collapsed, and the bereaved citizens of New York City who struggled to get on with their lives in the days and months following the tragic event, among dozens of others. The original edition of Tower Stories was one of the best-selling and most critically acclaimed books on 9/11 ever published, and for this 20th Anniversary Commemorative Edition, DiMarco has conducted additional interviews that offer a contemporary perspective on the 9/11 tragedy. The individuals DiMarco interviewed for the new edition include: • Alice Greenwald (President and CEO of the 9/11 Memorial & Museum)• Father Jim Martin (New York Times bestselling author)• Tom Haddad (survivor of the 89th floor, Tower 1)• Stephen Adly Guirgis (Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright). The 20th Anniversary Commemorative Edition of DiMarco's moving oral history preserves all of the voices from the original edition for generations to come, while offering new insights that benefit from twenty years of reflection on the world-shattering event. The voices in Tower Stories are in turn haunting and heartbreaking, always emotional, yet ultimately heroic. It’s no wonder that MSNBC called Tower Stories “Arguably the most successful attempt at capturing the enormity of the events of 9/11,” while Publishers Weekly wrote that “DiMarco’s contribution to the memory of that horrific day is enormous; the testimonies collected here form a one-of-a-kind account.”

"Absolut inspirierend und eine brillante Beschreibung der Meisner-Technik." Mary Steenburgen Sanford Meisner (1905–1997) gehört zu den weltweit einflussreichsten Schauspiellehrern. William Esper erklärt die Grundlagen seiner legendären Methode, führt diese weiter und entwickelt ein aufeinander aufbauendes Übungssystem, um eine wahrhaftige und überzeugende Darstellung sowohl auf der Bühne als auch bei Film und Fernsehen zu erreichen. Wie jede Kunst verlangt auch das Schauspiel, dass der Künstler seine Persönlichkeit einbringt, sich "im Moment" öffnet und seinen Instinkten folgt. Dies schafft die Meisner-Technik wie keine andere Schauspielmethode."Ich habe mein Leben damit verbracht, mit Schauspielern zu arbeiten. Dazu braucht man nur einige wesentliche Werkzeuge: geduldig sein, konkret sein, prägnant sein, ermutigen, vorschlagen, loben, zuhören. Zum ersten Mal habe ich diese Werkzeuge durch Bill Esper kennengelernt." David MametWilliam Esper hat 17 Jahre als Schauspieler und Schauspiellehrer mit Sanford Meisner zusammengearbeitet. 1965 gründete er das William Esper Studio in New York, das mehrfach zu den "25 Best Drama Schools" in den USA gewählt wurde. Damon DiMarco studierte bei William Esper und arbeitet als Autor und Schauspieler.

This memoir chronicles Richard Fuller's endeavours to clean up toxic brown hotspots in the developed and the developing world. While most everyone has heard of going green, few are aware of the more sinister brown pollution-places; those spots where the death toll of man-made pollutants numbers in the million. This title introduces readers to the environmental science behind identifying, understanding and remedying brown sites. Hard science is always parsed in terms of Fuller's own experiences, making this both pertinent and accessible.

Baiqiao Tang is one of China's most influential modern dissidents. Tang's name became legendary during the time of the Tiananmen Square massacre. Over the past 21 years, he has remained on the front lines of the Chinese pro-democracy movement, where he has vowed to keep fighting until the dream of a free China is realized. In 1989, Tang was a student leader organizing pro-democracy demonstrations in Hunan province. On June 4 of that year, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) quashed the movement Tang helped to lead in the now infamous Tiananmen Square massacre. During the nationwide crackdown that ensued against "counterrevolutionaries," the CCP issued a warrant for Tang's arrest. Tang recalls in detail his shock upon seeing his face plastered on a "wanted" poster at a train station. He attempted to flee to Macau but was captured before he could cross the border.In prison, Tang witnessed and endured medieval tortures that no human should ever experience. Eventually, he escaped to America with help from the United States government. Now living in exile in New York City, Baiqiao Tang has become a living legend among the millions of people worldwide who fight for a free and open society. China's recent, stratospheric rise to prominence on the world stage has brought its government under increased pressure to account for its notorious human rights atrocities inflicted on its own people. This unique, timely, suspenseful, and ultimately inspiring memoir will resonate with people from all walks of life and from all backgrounds who care about human rights and the future of free society.
