Richard Schechner's pioneering textbook is a lively, accessible
overview of the full range of performance, with primary extracts,
student activities, key biographies, and over 200 images of global
performance. The publication of Performance Studies: An
Introduction was a defining moment for the field. This fourth
edition has been revised with two new chapters, up-to-date coverage
of global and intercultural performances, and an in-depth
exploration of the growing international importance of performance
studies. Among the book's topics are the performing arts and
popular entertainments, rituals, play and games, social media, the
performances of the paleolithic period, and the performances of
everyday life. Supporting examples and ideas are drawn from the
social sciences, performing arts, poststructuralism, ritual theory,
ethology, philosophy, and aesthetics. Performance Studies: An
Introduction features the broadest and most in-depth analysis
possible. Performance Studies: An Introduction is the definitive
overview for undergraduates at all levels and beginning graduate
students in performance studies, the performing arts, and cultural
studies. This new edition is also supported by a fully updated
companion website, offering a variety of interactive resources,
teaching tools, and research links.

Controversies in Innocence Cases in America brings together leading
experts on the investigation, litigation, and scholarly analysis of
innocence cases in America, from legal, political and ethical
perspectives. The contributors, many of whom work on these cases
daily, investigate contemporary issues presented by innocence cases
and the exoneration movement as a whole. These issues include the
challenges faced by the movement, causes of wrongful convictions,
problems associated with investigating, proving, and defining
'innocence', and theories of reform. Each issue is placed within a
multi-disciplinary perspective to provide cogent observations and
recommendations for the effective handling of these cases, and for
what changes should be adopted in order to improve the American
criminal justice system when it is faced with its most harrowing
sight: an innocent defendant.
