Calories were invented when engineers sought to design better locomotives and adopted while citizens were at risk of starvation due to famine, depression, and two world wars. Since Americans are now more likely to die of obesity, it is time to consider new bioenergetic models. This groundbreaking book:-Explains culinary trends in a new language for fitness enthusiasts-Provides graphs and charts for easy reference-Offers a new scale of nutritional measurement for policy makers, clinical dietitians, even school administrators-Proves consistent with both holistic methods and modern medical research-And motivates chefs to assume their rightful place in line for future federal investments, as food science gradually becomes preventative healthcare

This cutting-edge title explores how narrating the past both conflicts and creates an interesting relationship with drama's 'continuing present' that arcs towards an unpredictable future. Theatre both brings the past alive and also fixes it, but through the performance process, allowing the past to be molded for future (not-yet-existent) audiences.

Besides producing new, insightful readings of heavily-studied plays, the interdisciplinary (historical, philosophical, dramatic, theatrical, and literary) frame Bennett constructs allows him to investigate one of the most fundamental questions of the theatre - how does meaning get made?

Fifty years after the publication of Martin Esslin's The Theatre of the Absurd , which suggests that 'absurd' plays purport the meaninglessness of life, this book uses the works of five major playwrights of the 1950s to provide a timely reassessment of one of the most important theatre 'movements' of the 20th century.
