The Bush Family Women: Their Story in Photographs
by Elaine S. PovichThe Bush Family Women is a must-have collectible for devoted fans of the Bushes and a celebration of four women—Barbara, Laura, Jenna, and Barbara—who hold a unique place in the story of America. The Bush family&’s political resume is unequaled in US history: one senator, two governors, one vice president, and two presidents, all whom have helped shape the nation for decades. The Bushes have long lived in front of the camera, but never has a photographic book focused on the stories and achievements of the three generations of the family&’s women who came of age in the public eye: Barbara Pierce Bush (First Lady, 1989–1993, Second Lady, 1981–1989); Laura Welch Bush (First Lady, 2001–2009); and twins Barbara Bush Coyne and Jenna Bush Hager. Barbara Bush was a passionate promoter of literacy and education, as is her daughter-in-law, Laura. Both wrote bestselling memoirs. The younger Barbara is co-founder of Global Health Corps, an organization building a global movement for health equity, and, with Jenna, a New York Times bestselling coauthor. Jenna is a contributing correspondent and cohost on NBC&’s Today show—where she launched a successful book club in 2019—and also a New York Times bestselling author.In this stunning, collectible volume, the inspiring journeys of these four women—from childhood to the White House and beyond—are brought to life with more than 150 photographs, quotes, and highlights from notable speeches, punctuated by insightful commentary from award-winning Washington journalist and author Elaine S. Povich.

J. Pratt, Robert Service, Irving Layton, and many others.Written with clarity and precision,The Bush Garden is a significant cache of literary criticism that traces a pivotal moment in the country’s cultural history and the evolution of Frye’s thinking at various stages of his career.

The Business of American Theatre
by William GrangeThe Business of American Theatre is a research guide to the history of producing theatre in the United States. Covering a wide range of subjects, the book explores how traditions of investment, marketing, labor union contracts, advertising, leasing arrangements, ticket scalping, zoning ordinances, royalties, and numerous other financial transactions have influenced the art of theatre for the past three centuries. Yet the book is not a dry reiteration of hits and flops, bankruptcies and bamboozles. Nor does it cover "everything about it that's appealing, everything the traffic will allow" (as Irving Berlin did in the song "There's No Business Like Show Business"). It is instead a highly readable resource for anyone interested in how money, and how much money, is critical to the art and artists of theatre. Many of those artists make appearances in the book: Richard Rodgers and his keen eye for investment, Jacob Shubert and his construction of "the bridge of thighs" for his showgirls at the Winter Garden, the significance of the Disney Souvenir Shop near the Lyceum Theatre on Broadway, and the difference between a Broadway show losing millions of dollars or making billions in one night. Consider this book a go-to resource for readers, students, and scholars of the theatre business.
