`Ian Watson has written this study `from the inside', having spent several years with Barba and the Odin company. Ian Watson uncovers the secrets, and in so doing has to face up to the criticisms that have sometimes been made of Barba's methods.  This he does with great honesty and scholarly integrity, confirming our sense of Barba's importance for contemporary performance research.' - Theatre Reserch Intl

"For those of us who know Abraham De Moivre’s name only or largely through his theorem for powers of a complex number and perhaps some vague notion that he had ‘something to do with probability,’ this book will come as a revelation. In telling the story of De Moivre’s life, the book traces a path through some of the most significant mathematical developments of the 17th and 18th centuries, and his name looms large in many aspects of the field. … this biography tells a lot of the history of mathematics in the 18th century as it influenced, and was influenced by, its subject."—Mark Bollman, MAA Reviews, February 2013
"Bellhouse’s book is the first extensive intellectual biography of De Moivre; it is excellent. Written on two levels—historical and mathematical—the book deals not only with DeMoivre’s work on probability, as one might expect based on the subtitle, but with his integral mathematical work as well. … Everything in this book is written with mathematical clarity and exactness. … the book is wholeheartedly recommended to all who like probability, mathematics, history, and fair speeches. This is the kind of definitive text that is a must for every history of mathematics shelf."—Aleksandar M. Nikolić, Mathematical Reviews, 2012h
"This is a very thorough biography of Abraham De Moivre. The author (a Canadian professor specializing in the history of statistics and actuarial science) has clearly done a lot of research, including an in-depth study of De Moivre’s correspondence with his contemporaries. In addition to biographical details, the book provides an overview of the mathematics developed by De Moivre. … a very readable book."—Rudi Penne and Paul Levrie, WeetLogs.SciLogs.be, April 2012
"This is a very scholarly piece of work, with many references to original documents … Bellhouse’s book should fascinate most academics in that, beside going with the uttermost detail into De Moivre’s contributions to probability, it uncovers the way (mathematical) research was done in the 17th and 18th century England … Another fascinating aspect of the book is the way English (incl. De Moivre) and Continental mathematicians fought and bickered on the priority of discoveries. … this is a highly pleasant and easily readable [book] on the career of a major mathematician and one of the founding fathers of probability theory. David Bellhouse is to be congratulated on the scholarship exhibited by this book and on the painstaking pursuit of all historical documents related with De Moivre’s life."—Christian Robert on his blog, March 2012

Scott Haskins&#8217; message is clear, his continuing education is top quality, and I am intent on getting the word out to all of my contacts in the industry.The human resource and recruiting industries will embrace this informative and practical approach to preventive care of&#160;important articles that address the&#160;workplace. Industries and&#160;organizations&#160;need to pay attention, as&#160;emergencies and unexpected complications seem to be every bit as much a part of our work life as they are a part of home life.&#160;I look forward to sharing the details contained herein with my many contacts&#160;throughout my industry.&#8221; --- Rayanne Thorn, http://www.rayannethorn.com, nationally recognized HR resource and blogger&#8220;If there is one book to have when there is a disaster . . . this is it!

I shoved a copy in a friend&#8217;s face and said, &#8216;You have to buy a copy of this book!&#8217; I&#8217;m going to get all my historical society and museum clients in the State of Wisconsin to buy a copy.&#8221;&#160; --- Mr. Tony Rajer, Conservator of Art, Madison, Wisconsin&#8220;I think every gallery and collector should have a copy. I&#8217;m going to tell everyone about it . . . in fact, can I have another copy of the book for a friend?&#8221; (I said yes)&#160; --- Joe Beeler, Cowboy Artist, Living Legend in Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, Arizona&#8220;This is just the kind of book I was looking for.

Lyle, Emergency Planner, City of Vancouver, Canada&#8220;We had a painting that was worth $450,000.00; however, when we removed it from the wall and moved some furniture, I accidently put a leg through the painting. Although the repair was done flawlessly (by Scott Haskins) and the damage was invisible, the repaired painting was still devalued by $100,000.00. If you follow the suggestions in this book you will avoid much loss of value and heartache.&#8221;&#160; --- Art Gallery Owner, Carmel, California&#8220;Thank you for How to Save Your Stuff from a Disaster. It&#8217;s a great book and should sell like crazy.&#8221;&#160; --- Michael Clark, VP Marketing, Fitness Quest, Time Warner, Georgia&#8220;We look forward to making the Save Your Stuff message an integral part of our preparedness information and education for government offices.

&#8220;Under the Social Influence provides valuable insight for both the Millennial generation who are struggling to make their mark on the world and business owners who are trying to understand and motivate them.&#160; Chuck&#8217;s book also contains lots of great tips about using social media in the workplace that could make or break a career.&#8221; --Jay Myers, CEO, Interactive Solutions, Inc&#8220;The most important role a book can play in our lives is to provide a collection of thoughts and stories that improve our worldview. Chuck has done this in spades on the topic of social technologies and how the younger generation will be impacted by them. His ideas on the best practices for using these new tools in real life are solid and useful. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand better how their young employees, customers, or family members will operate going forward in the future, and what that will mean to your business---and personal life.&#8221; --Scott Klososky, author and professional speaker&#8220;What a good read! Chuck&#8217;s book provides valuable &#8216;life lessons&#8217; to all who aspire to start a career, as well as to those of us who have been fortunate enough to become successful. Workforce development through teaching skills and mentoring to imprint values and work ethic is critical to the future success of any business, while understanding the &#8216;rules of work&#8217; is critical to an individual&#8217;s workplace success. In addition, Chuck artfully points out how finding and practicing balance in our lives outside work is critical to our happiness. This book offers a step-by-step guide, and the questions at the end of each chapter are spot-on for self evaluation.&#8221; --Kerry Moyer, Chairman, Electronic Systems Professional Alliance (ESPA)&#8220;For over three decades I have always had a new business book at my side. It&#8217;s part of my informal personal improvement process, the result of my Catholic boarding school discipline and the sports programs I experienced for twelve years. Most of what I read goes in the trash can or is erased from my Kindle. The good books are passed to friends and business associates. The really valuable books, with life messages, are passed on to my children. This is my acid test, and I will make sure my girls read Chuck&#8217;s book cover to cover. Chuck Wilson&#8217;s book is not always politically correct, but it is honest and built on life experiences that can truly help an open young mind.&#8221; --Bill Bozeman, President & CEO, PSA Security Network&#8220;Chuck clearly describes all the foolish things we&#8217;ve done and how we set ourselves up to do them. All smart, aspiring, young people, as well as myself, can use Chuck&#8217;s thirty years of real-time research to help perpetuate our industry. In his book, Chuck says, Hi &#8216;One day you will learn that the greatest obstacle to your success will be your own fear. . .primarily the fear of taking a chance and failing.&#8217; No statement could be more true, and we can all learn so much from reading this book. I will use it as an instruction manual and for online training. I&#8217;m so proud to support our industry, its members, and organizations like the NSCA Education Foundation.&#8221; --Loyd Ivey, CEO, Mitek Corporation and founding member of the NSCA Education Foundation&#8220;Plain speaking and common sense are alive and well in this book. I found myself nodding my head &#8216;yes&#8217; time after time as Chuck explained some&#160; complex issues in basic and easy-to-understand terms and provided simple, no-nonsense solutions and ideas that anyone can implement if they choose to heed his advice. For any person who is looking to be employed, who is currently employed, or even an employer, this book is a must-read, and I can see how readily it could be implemented as an additional HR resource in any company as a new employee primer or reference book in support of the standard company employment manual. I found that in chapter after chapter I was able to get at least one good idea or thought from Chuck&#8217;s descriptions. In this day and age of politically correct literature, I found Chuck&#8217;s book to be rewarding and refreshing in its honest and common-sense approach to issues within the workplace and in life generally.&#8221; --Andrew Musci, President/CEO, Altel Systems, Inc&#8220;If the US economy is going to continue to remain the most productive in the world, we&#8217;re going to have to learn how to bridge the needs and motivations of multiple generations like never before in our history. That&#8217;s a pretty monumental task! But after reading this book, I see a pathway to success, whether you&#8217;re a giant multinational company or a small entrepreneur trying to make a mark.&#8221; --Todd Thibodeaux, President & CEO, CompTIA
