Bruce Barton's 1925 effort to reconfigure Jesus for the Roaring Twenties turned into one of the great best-sellers of the century. No Puritan or Prohibitionist, here was Christ as the world's first advertising man, a great business executive who "picked up twelve men from the bottom ranks of business and forged them into an organization that conquered the world." In his Introduction, Richard M. Fried explores the book's rich insights into the culture of the 1920s.

These experiences range from daily life events to exotic adventures.

Imagine a mirror broken into dozens of pieces-each piece a poem that needs the others to be complete and whole again. The Book of Baruchio is such a mirror, and like any mirror it reflects back upon the one who looks into it. These touching and often humorous poems are a delight to read. They start in the heart, reach into the mind, and travel all the way up to the soul. I've had the privilege of witnessing many of the events that led to the creation of these poems. Reading them was a journey into my past, but at the deepest level this collection is a journey into each of our futures. -Rabbi David Zaslow, author of Thou Shalt Wander and, forthcoming, Jesus, First-Century Rabbi"

The move from playwright to cinema screenwriter and director is a rare accomplishment. No American writer has achieved this transition with the level of success enjoyed over the past two decades by David Mamet. Over this same period Mamet has also authored a body of aggressive critical writing that demonstrates enduring aesthetic and ideological preoccupations, regularly expressed as a set of confident «best practices». However, the relationship between theory and practice becomes particularly (and productively) rowdy at the sites of Mamet¿s transitional «media crossing». Imagination in Transition establishes a flexible set of core characteristics of Mamet¿s dramatic and theatrical dramaturgy, and then compares these with the textual and cinematographic strategies employed by Mamet in his initial, «transitional» feature films. This study, then, offers both an innovative approach to Mamet¿s work and an illuminating framework for cross-media analysis.
