The title is inspired by the epic drama The Last Days of Mankind by Karl Kraus. Published in full in 1922, its author ridicules the interconnected ills of modernity that he saw as fueling the war machine (nationalism, capitalism, unbridled technology, militarism, journalistic unscrupulousness) as well as the Viennese cultural scene of the time. The drama bears chilling parallels to our world in 2020. The goal of the anthology, which includes some 100 essays, is to consider the relevance of opera in today's dystopian world and to look to possible developments in the genre in the foreseeable future. The writers include opera professionals: singers, directors, and conductors as well as creative minds from other fields, like philosophers, artists, film directors, and actors. The book features an iconography of original works by famous artists, in particular those of the renowned stage designer Richard Peduzzi. Authors include: Marina Abramovic, Laurie Anderson, Cecilia Bartoli, Georg Baselitz, George Benjamin, Robert Carsen, Amira Casar, Martin Crimp, Peter Gelb, Markus Hinterhauser, Mariss Jansons, Philippe Jordan, Jonas Kaufmann, William Kentridge, Christian Lacroix, Daniel Libeskind, Christa Ludwig, Katie Mitchell, Jonathan Meese, Riccardo Muti, Shirin Neshat, Hermann Nitsch, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Richard Peduzzi, Denis Podalydès, Thaddaeus Ropac, Bogdan Roscic, Tilda Swinton, Keith Warner, Robert Wilson.

Accessible and insightful guide to project management
Format: Kindle
"Project Management Mastery" describes the science and art of project management in a highly accessible and insightful way. This guide is written in understandable language for beginners and can also be a refresher for seasoned project managers. The guide fully describes the concepts of planning, execution, monitoring and control, and closure. Each chapter layers new information upon the foundations of the previous chapters by addressing basic concepts and building on details. This book uses project management terminology, but defines it so the concepts are clear, not fuzzy. Also discussed in depth is the importance of team members' responsibilities and accountability, and the importance of team motivation. There is a detailed exploration of the differences between various project management methodologies, such as Agile, Waterfall, SCRUM, Kanban and other models. Also described is the methodology of PRINCE2, used primarily in the UK and Europe, as well as hybrid project management models. There is guidance on which methodology works best for the project being planned. The guide also addresses the impacts and benefits of how using AI might impact the completion of routine tasks in the project management lifecycle. Also included is a comprehensive list of references at the end, for those wanting to dive deeper into the subject. Overall, this is a great guide for new project managers, as well as a solid refresher for those reentering the field, or looking for an updated perspective.

Mastering Project Management
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
What a wonderful book on project management. The author describes what project management is, how to create a project plan, and the different phases that exist. He covers traditional project management and newer versions of it that have evolved, such as Waterfall, Agile, Scrum, and PRINCE2. The author explains the various types of project management, what are the important tenets of each and which is best for different types of projects. He goes into a lot of detail into each phase, different software you can use, along with visualization tools available like Gantt Charts and Kanban boards. It is a good comprehensive book that goes in to detail into each area of project management, what you should do to be successful and the various places that project managers typically fail. Finally, he covers final deliverables, project closer and doing a project review and releasing resources. I thought it was a very good book, well done and one that any project manager would love to have as a resource.

For The Seasoned Project Manager and the Beginner
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
It takes a talented writer to write for the expert and the beginner in the same book. But that is how Mr. Hayden writes in this book. It is obvious he is an experienced Project Manager, and he not only gives advice, but gives you an overview of project management in general, and the foundations of it. But then he jumps right into the meat of the matter - and lays out so many ways to start the project, including so many methodologies to use. He includes the SWOT method, that I used with my teams, but there are so many more that I could have used! I love the way he lays out a plan for you to use - he doesn’t just give you ideas, he lays it out in a way that you can implement it successfully, and more importantly, confidently. That is so important when leading a team! I highly recommend this book to any level of project manager! And not just those in a project manager position - also for those professionals who are leading a project even though they are in other roles in their company.
