'This is a book about money. All actors need some, elusive as it often is in an overcrowded profession, so a book about how to get it and manage could be very useful...Although Sharp is an American with a foot in both performing arts and finance camps, almost everything he says is equally valid in Britain. The principles are universal.' - Susan Elkin, The Stage
'Sharp has provided an accessible and easily readable text for smart beginners... The tone is casual and also comprehensible without becoming too dry or pedantic...I plan to return to it in pieces as I continue to evaluate my own financial life as an artist.' - Natalie Robin, Stage-Directions
"Sharp’s dual understanding of both the fields of finance and performance is a benefit to the entertainment professional looking for an entry into the financial markets. He cleanly weaves the worlds of theatrical artistry and monetary sustainability by providing helpful analogies and inspiring anecdotes….The Thriving Artist is likely to stay on my bookshelf, close within reach, for many more years to come. It is a text that will continue to be a practical reference as I navigate through my career and my fiscal explorations." -Krystal Kennel, TDT Fall 2015

The Thriving Artist

'A useful and stimulating collection of papers which will be of immediate interst to any criminal justice practitioner with young people ... makes vivid and sobering reading and is much to be recommended.' - Labour Campaign for Criminal Justic Newsletter'A timely addition to the "underclass" debate ... particularly useful for students seeking a general collection addressing issues faced by young people. I found the book successful in challenging my own 'knee-jerk' rejection of the "underclass" concept as politically dangerous.' - Journal of Youth Studies'Useful for the range of methodologies and evidence it deploys to analyse and debate the appropriateness, or otherwise, of the concept of an underclass in relationship to British youth.' - Journal of Social Policy'The work presented here serves to establish a framework from which youth researchers can develop both theoretically and empirically; it is a valuable contribution to both the contemporary debate on the underclass and social exclusion, as well as the sociology of youth.' - Sociology Vol 32:2 May 1998'This volume is highly recommended for all classes of reader: to raise consciousness, among undergraduates and their teachers of the important of conceptual analysis in sociology and of a reasoned use of empirical data that is entirely lacking in the pre-digested pap of mass-marketed undergraduate textbook; as a rich source of new hypotheses for active researchers; as a reminder to policy makers and practitioners of the co-ordinated diversity of interventions needed to combat economic and social marginalisation; and as a reminder to politicians and the press across the political spectrum that it's time to understand a little more and to condemn a little less.' - Policy Studies Vol 19:2 1998'This is a vital contribution to the debates around youth and social exclusions. It is well written, focused and intensely challenging of mainstream discourses on youth.' - Edge Hill University College, UK

ECPA bestseller&ldquo;Danger, dark schemes, and political intrigue wrestle against truth, valor, and determined obedience to Yahweh in this compelling tale of Hezekiah&mdash;the boy who would be king&mdash;and a beautiful but broken orphan girl taken in by Isaiah, the Lord&rsquo;s prophet. While alternately angered and devastated by the faithlessness of Yahweh&rsquo;s people in one chapter, in the next I was revitalized and filled with hope in the unfolding prophecies and mercy of our Sovereign God. Andrews has woven a love story, a beautifully written novel to savor, and a reminder that despite our fallen humanity, God&rsquo;s best is yet to come.&rdquo; &mdash;Cathy Gohlke, Christy Award&ndash;winning author of Until We Find Home &ldquo;Mesu Andrews brings the prophet Isaiah to life with her usual brilliance at weaving deep historical threads together with the story of a little-known woman of the Bible. Isaiah&rsquo;s Daughter is an excellent reminder that the truth of God&rsquo;s words will be proven, even when His people cannot see through the veil of suffering to the ultimate victory.&rdquo; &mdash;Connilyn Cossette, CBA best-selling author of the Out from Egypt series &ldquo;Epic drama, adventure, love, treachery&mdash;Isaiah&rsquo;s Daughter is all of that and more in this latest stellar novel by Mesu Andrews. The author brings to life Judah&rsquo;s queen, the lovely Hephzibah, infusing each page with heart-stopping emotion and a pure romantic love for her friend and king, Hezekiah, that touched my soul. When I finished reading, I could only marvel at the novel&rsquo;s depth and breadth and how Andrews portrayed this daughter of a prophet rising to the greatness of God&rsquo;s promise, resilient in a time of disobedience. Keeping faith with Yahweh amid war and death and pestilence might be the only means to survive. A thoroughly catch-your-breath kind of experience in an impressive body of work, Isaiah&rsquo;s Daughter is a story fans of biblical fiction will love!&rdquo; &mdash;Kate Breslin, award-winning author of For Such a Time

We live in an age of drastic change, and if we don’t want to be bystanders of collapse, we must steer this age towards sustainability. Matthias Barth has written a book that stimulates rich reflections on what sustainability change agents need to be capable of, and how to acquire these skills. I hope the book gets widely used by students and teachers to put these reflections to work in education and professional practice.

Arnim Wiek, Arizona State University, USA

Learning is the key to change for sustainability in higher education, and yet, not all learning contributes to the building of a sustainable future. Much has been written about this contradiction, especially with regards to curriculum practice, but no text to date has presented a dialogical perspective of the university as a learning organisation for sustainability. This book directly addresses this need and provides a stepping-stone for educators, experts and those engaged in making a transformative difference through higher education.

Daniella Tilbury, University of Gloucestershire, UK

This stands out from the many other books focusing on sustainable development and higher education because of its strong learning focus: not just learning within　universities by students and their teachers, crucial though this is; but continuing learning beyond the institution within the wider society. This is welcome as sustainable development will not happen unless it's a social learning process through which we shall, if we are lucky, transform all our futures.

William Scott, University of Bath, UK

A comprehensive and important contribution to the literature and initiatives focused on transforming our universities to deliver their critical role of producing graduates with the capabilities necessary to ensure the sustainable development of our world over the coming decades.

Geoff Scott, University of Western Sydney, Australia

Among other topics, the book provokes thoughts and provides resources to contemplate what change agent skills our graduates need so they can help shift societal norms to a more sustainable future. Without dictating the answers, this publication provides useful questions to frame how educators might identify the change agent skills that are common across cultures and countries, bringing thoughtful perspectives and useful information to this urgent topic. This book can be used to help higher education evolve to make learning that supports a　 sustainable future 　part of the curricula for all students. 

Debra Rowe, U.S. Partnership for Education for Sustainable Development, USA
Over the last decade we have seen an increasing number of publications on higher education and sustainability with case studies and best practice examples from around the globe. What makes this book a unique contribution is how it brings together experiences from different case studies and elaborates key principles of learning in higher education – both individually and as an organization. A must-read for anybody involved in higher education who seeks answers about how to support systemic transformation.

Gerd Michelsen, Leuphana University of Lüneburg, Germany

This book captures the areas, issues and future directions that are at the heart of education for sustainable development success. It offers readers a coherent and systematic account of learning and teaching matters that collectively reinforce its thought provoking message of societal transformation. This is a much needed book that pioneers education for sustainability and provides convincing evidence and new insights that can only result in graduates being ready and able to contribute to a more sustainable future.

“Dis/Ability Studies: Theorizing Disableism and Ableism, is a compelling text in which readers are invited to engage with, build upon, and weave together important theoretical contributions made by activist scholars in disableism, ableism, queer theory, crip theory, and poststructural and postconventional disability studies research. Goodley himself does much of the weaving for us as he illustrates, rather masterfully I think, how multiple theoretical perspectives might be brought together and expanded in order to open new spaces for theorizing how we might disrupt the intractable nature of ableism and disableism and their entrenched capacity to shape modern neoliberal responses to disability.” - Cynthia Bruce, PhD(C) Part-Time Faculty, Education, Acadia University, Canadian Journal of Disability Studies
'Dis/Ability Studies brings together a dizzying array of new theoretical concepts, tools and lenses with which to activate a dis/ability imagination. What makes Dis/Ability Studies an exciting read is the incredible volume of theory and empirical research that Goodley reviews, synthesis, dissects and analyses.' - Imogen Tyler, Disability and Society, April 2015
'The author's thesis is that disability and ability are both worthy of study and they cannot be separated. The messy bits between this binary is what complicates the current state of disability studies, and is really the heart of the entire book ... Particularly enjoyable is his suggestion that so-called "normals" need therapy to combat the psychopathology of ableism ... Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.' - P.A. Murphy, University of Toledo, in CHOICE, December 2014
‘Dis/ability Studies proposes a new dialectic in which the twins disability and ability – separated at birth – are re-united in a confrontation whereby the alienated siblings come to terms with their distinctive experiences; one, comfortable in the lap of privilege; the other, mired, deep down amongst the wretched of the earth. Professor Goodley breaks new ground and re-sets the template for the disability debate.’ – Professor Bill Hughes, Glasgow School for Business and Society, Glasgow Caledonian University, UK.
‘"Dis/ability studies" is a remarkable synthesis of the most distinctive strands of Goodley’s thought, and yet, expands current scholarly thinking. Goodley offers a clear signal for a change of direction, if not a revolution, in disability thought.’ – Dr Karen Soldatic, School of Social Sciences, University of New South Wales, Australia.
‘With radical vitality, Dan Goodley’s latest invites us to inhabit the slash between able/disabled in order to re-encounter the constitution of the human. Exposing the "normal’s" confused engagement with dis/ability, readers are offered a transformative praxis opposing ideals of ableism while respecting our desire to thrive in disability-as-life. Goodley addresses the often unquestioned and deadly normative demands of our "austere" times as a way to work toward what he takes as the heart of being human, namely, alliance, connections and interdependence. In the midst of disability studies, queer and post-colonial theory, Goodley invites us to imagine politics as the actualization of a committed interrelatedness affirming life that has been made marginal by stark neo-liberal practices that feed markets trading in degradation. Critical of rigid models, this book is an essential read and a rallying cry for anyone who desires to put the question of embodiment into the heart of what it means to be human.’ – Professor Tanya Titchkosky, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto, Canada.
‘With both the rigor and wit that marks all of his work, Dan Goodley maps the landscape of contemporary critical disability studies in his comprehensive new book. Dis/ability Studies: Theorising Disablism and Ableism, moreover, makes clear to readers the urgent and innovative directions in which disability studies needs to move. This book is not only an invaluable resource surveying the models of disability that structure (and can transform) our culture, it is—in its attention to a global austerity politics and the workings of what Goodley terms neoliberal-ableism—an important part of the global turn that the interdisciplinary field is taking. Through stories of oppression and resistance in multiple locations, Dis/ability Studies ultimately welcomes critically disabled "becomings" that can dismantle the structures of ableism that Goodley theorises.’ – Professor Robert McRuer, Department of English, George Washington University, USA.

An essential read for all those involved in practice education and learning partnerships.’- Trish Hafford-Letchfield, Middlesex University, UK
