Matt Wolf's book chronicles ten amazing years for the Donmar and for Mendes, combining accounts of numerous productions and extensive interviews with Mendes himself and more than sixty Donmar alumni: Sondheim, Nicole Kidman, Gwyneth Paltrow, Alan Cumming, Helen Mirren, Stephen Dillane and Jennifer Ehle, to name but a few. This celebration of the Donmar's tenth anniversary is full of candid conversation, analyses of its successes as well as its failures, and trenchant behind-the-scenes reporting. It is also the Donmar's farewell to Sam Mendes, who is leaving the theatre to pursue other opportunities on the stage and screen. As director of American Beauty, for which he won an Academy Award, and Road to Perdition, his future is as bright as his past.

This book is based on the public career of a highly controversial Canadian, Sam Hughes 1885-1916. He is one of the most colourful, even bizarre, figures in Canadian history. Though he died in 1921, his name can still conjure up controversy and not a little misunderstanding. His long career--in so many respects the quintessential story of a poor backwoods Ontario farm boy who made good by his own efforts--continues to exert a fascination that few other Canadian political figures could duplicate. Even though there has never been a major scholarly study of Sam Hughes, historians and other writers have developed definite opinions about him, and they are held nearly as vigorously as those of his contemporaries. These vary from insisting that Hughes was mentally unbalanced to proclaiming him a genius. Hughes' defenders have rarely been professional historians. Neither side have not produced an extensive or definitive literature on Hughes in proportion to other figures of a similar public stature. Whatever side the studies have taken, the assessments are still incomplete because they have not examined the entirety of Sam Hughes' public life. To a large extent these limitations have allowed the folk image of him to persist. But Hughes had fibre and substance beyond this. Since historical figures must be explained in terms of their environment, this study tries to redress the previous imbalances by examining Hughes' public career. It is the only way his historical significance can be explained and reasonable judgments made.
This life story of actor Sam Jaffe is extensively researched, including 150 personally conducted celebrity interviews, and colorfully told by writer Arleen Lorrance who was also his good friend. This is more than the story of a man who was admired and held in great esteem by the likes of John Huston, Zero Mostel, Karl Malden, Jack Lemmon, Julie Harris and Robert Wise. This is a 20th century history of theatre, film, and early television, not to mention life in New York City and Hollywood, lived passionately for 93 exciting and thoughtful years. Sam Jaffe created the classic film roles of Gunga Din, the high lama in Lost Horizon, and Doc Erwin Riedenschneider in The Asphalt Jungle (for which he received an Oscar nomination.) On television he was well known as Dr. Zorba in Ben Casey. His uniqueness enabled people to recognize him wherever he went. Jaffe was more than an actor. He was a man of integrity and conviction who was instrumental in starting Actor's Equity, as well as creating The Equity Library Theatre which kick-started hundreds of careers. Jaffe was a political activist who survived being falsely targeted by the House Un-American Activities Committee which damaged hundreds of professionals and destroyed many lives.
Any child can be in a Freeze, Fight, Flight, or Fawn reactive state. It is a fact of existence - these Four F's are part of our daily lives. Our brains are designed for a different era - a time long ago when grass was tall and cats were big. The trouble is that we do not live in that time. Any child's brain can Anticipate, Ruminate and Perseverate on issues that might (or might not) be real - there are no tigers in the house today. Sam's Dinosaur focuses on the brain's Amygdala.We each have two amygdalae - one in each hemisphere - that regulate how we handle stressful situations.The word Amygdala is simply Latin for Almond, because early neuroscientists realized that the anatomical likeness was to an almond nut.The Amygdala is the center of emotional reaction like fear and frustration, anxiety and sadness.When our emotional wellbeing feels overloaded we will sometimes react in a way that causes people to question our behavior.Sometimes we react without thinking and are unaware at the time of the damage we are doing. We might say to ourselves afterwords: What was I thinking?How could I have said (or done) those terrible things to people I love?In Sam's Dinosaur Brain, we describe the ancient remnant of an evolutionary brain that was designed to keep us safe from tigers in the wild, or unexpected attack. We bring the amygdala into today's social context in playground or classroom and show the reader that we can be in charge of our dinosaur brain; that we can regulate our emotional state with simple strategies. Strategies are built on: Simple graphical representations of neuroscience knowledge about a child's brain.Colorful stick figures that enable every child see themselves in the action.Simple easy to understand choices that grow the reader's mental model concerning stress and remedies to overcoming stress.For the adult, teacher, guardian, or parent the book summarizes the solution with a clear and vivid description of how and when to use this simple method to help children overcome the stressful situation.The take away message is simple.It is like riding a bike. The child wasn't born able to ride a bike. Yet, when we taught the child how to become proficient on a bike, we built and strengthened (over time) primary neural (white matter) structures that stay for the child's life.Brain is malleable. Every day it changes and rewires itself in response to practice that the child undertakes alone or with friends, parents, teachers, so that white matter structures are strong and long lasting. By strengthening neuronal structures teachers contribute to life skills, which last throughout the child's life. First we co-regulate with the child in a safe psychological, co-created space and then we support the child's journey to self-regulation.The design and production is simple, gentle, and intended to not overwhelm any child's working memory or sensitivity to too much stimulation.

Not since Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged has a political philosophy been so strongly presented by fictional characters. Sam-a far more optimistic view of the human condition-illuminates an enlightened path to the stars and beyond. Sam, a homeless veteran, bites off and swallows a finger every day to dramatically demonstrate his abhorrence of war and the idiots who glorify it.His ordeal goes viral as it is covered by a political columnist, who reports the mutilations and what Sam has to say each day about war, government, and corrupt officials.Aided by Aileana, a retired Navy nurse who cares for Sam, they write a social and political philosophy covering a wide range of issues, about which Sam offers a depth of wisdom from "outside the box." The writing collaboration becomes a love story, as Sam and Aileana marry and strive together to make the world a better place for their daughter and all those who share it.
