"The stories comprising Once Removed are consistently excellent... I have not been this compelled by a collection of short fiction in a considerable time." - Dr Michael Titlestad The stories in Once Removed traverse the theatres, artist studios and archives that characterise the world of contemporary art and performance. But they also zero in on the homes, private lives, daily journeys and emotional interiorities of the various characters that inhabit them. While the stories in Once Removed draw from the undercurrents of the South African art world, their concerns and evocations are not limited to it."Once Removed is for readers who are familiar with the worlds of art and performance, and those for whom it is completely foreign. A reader doesn't need to be immersed in the world of artists, critics, exhibitors, gallerists or academics to access the collection, and to enjoy the imbalances, precarity, hilarity, and possibilities represented in it," explains Mann.Part ironic realism, part experimental surrealism, these stories will matter differently, but equally significantly, to those inside and outside the world they evoke and inhabit.

On behalf of the engineers on the Microsoft Office and Windows Workflow Foundation teams who spent over three years building workflow into the 2007 Microsoft Office system, I would like to thank you very much for your interest in Microsoft Office and workflow. I am pleased to recommend this book to you as a roadmap and tutorial for getting started designing and building workflows for Microsoft Office. While we've prebuilt the most common review and approval workflows into Microsoft Office, I know well that we did not scratch the surface of all the important processes that or- nizations will need to build as they modernize the way their information workers get their jobs done. That is because a primary goal in building workflow into Windows SharePoint Services and Microsoft Office was to provide a platform for developers to build a wide range of People- Ready Processes. When I say People-Ready Process, I mean to emphasize Microsoft Office's focus on human-centric workflow scenarios-those business processes that will reduce clutter in your inbox, help you track and correlate information automatically, and hopefully help you get home to your family a bit earlier each day. Speaking of saving time, David Mann has done a heroic job of synthesizing large volumes of information into a well-organized reference for developers and IT administrators alike. I would particularly commend his focus on connecting the topics in this book to real-world scenarios, which makes the technical information even more valuable.

David and Tamela Mann share a wonderfully inspiring, funny, and up-close look at their lives and the lessons they've learned during their 30-year marriage.

This ambitious work features forty of Etherege's poems and three plays, which are still popular after 300 years. The concordance provides an easy-to-use identification system that helps determine lexical shading, isolate word clusters that suggest patterns of meaning, and examine changes in language over several decades.

This book examines the treatment of women in 205 plays by Shakespeare's predecessors and contemporaries, exploring their influence on his work. By challenging the gay and polemical feminist accounts currently dominating the treatment of Elizabethan cross-dressing, the book restores its importance as a mainstream performance topic for academics and students.
