This widely acclaimed book describes how you can research wide, ie look for brothers, sisters, cousins and the many social and economic networks to which your ancestors belonged. Many little-known techniques are described and illustrated: they’ll help you understand these past lives more fully, but also push back your direct line by overcoming those twin banes of the family historian’s life:– Where did they come from? Which one is mine?! What readers said about the previous edition: ‘From the first page it is packed full of tried and tested methods with added illustrations to explain the points. Just what I wanted.’ ‘This is my 2nd copy, the first having been ‘‘borrowed’’.’ - Amazon reviewer who gave this book a five star rating. ‘You might think that you couldn't learn anything much from a genealogy book that was only 64 pages long, but as I read Nuts and Bolts I was continually nodding my head in agreement, because there were so many invaluable tips.’ ‘Crammed with useful advice that we can all benefit from, no matter how much experience we have. I recommend it without reservation.’ ‘ . . . deserves to be on every genealogist's bookshelf.’ - Helen Osborn, editor of Family Tree Magazine ‘Deals succinctly and entertainingly . . . concentrated essence of know-how, elegantly written and free from waffle.’ ‘I have not been able to put this book down! As an avid family history fanatic, I found this book VERY readable, witty, funny and helpful. I've even quoted him and recommended this book in articles I have written for the family history magazines, well done Andrew!’ ‘Even for those who've spent a lot of time researching, this little book is a good reminder and tip-giver, to get you into the little corners you missed. Recommended.’ ‘Basic, Problem Solving - Getting Unstuck. See Andrew Todd Nuts and Bolts’. - Simon's Classified Genealogical Help website.

Family History Nuts and Bolts; Problem-Solving through Family Reconstitution Techniques

Reference

Peter Brook is one of the world's great theater directors. Responsible for historic productions of Midsummer Night's Dream, Marat/Sade, The Mahabarata, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and The Cherry Orchard, Brooks's main concern has always been the space occupied by both the actors and the audience. In this beautifully illustrated book, Andrew Todd and Jean Guy Lecat explore the evolution of Brooks's productions and his theories of theater design. They look at his work in the early days of the Royal Shakespeare Company and his fascinating white box Dream as well as his madhouse production of Marat/Sade. They explore in detail his Theatre Bouffe du Nord in Paris where he staged The Mahabarata and the Brooklyn Academy of Music's Harvey Theater where he first staged it in the US. This is a book that every serious theatergoer will want on his shelf.
