The first edition of The Performance Studies Reader established itself as the leading anthology of key writings on the continually evolving field of performance studies. Bringing together contributions from a host of renowned artists and scholars, the Reader provided a lively and diverse collection of ideas suitable for undergraduates and beginning graduate students in performance studies, theater, cultural studies and related disciplines. This updated and significantly enlarged Second Edition offers eight new chapters - for a total of 42 - on such important topics as devising theater, public memorial observances, and neurocognitive approaches to performance, as well as expanded introductory essays and internal cross-references. Widely used by students and scholars around the world as a stand-alone text, The Performance Studies Reader, Second Edition is also synchronized to the second edition of Richard Schechner's Performance Studies: An Introduction. Used together, the two volumes continue to provide a complete and integrated package for teaching and learning performance studies. Book jacket.

How to Write and Present Technical Information provides readers with concise, easy-to-use guidelines for communicating about technology in professional environments. Communication is a vitally important function of every high-tech professional, and one that is often neglected in training. Many professionals are uncomfortable with the communication tasks they face every day in the workplace. These tasks include such diverse activities as writing reports, technical manuals, articles and papers; designing visual material; organising meetings and preparing speeches. The book shows how to save time by preparing for these activities, and how to tap into individual talents more effectively. Dr Sides' book is clear, easy-to-read and easy to put into practice. Furthermore, the advice has been tested by the author on courses he has held for General Electric, Digital Equipment Corporation and MIT, among others. This edition is fully updated to cover internet and multimedia applications, and publicity material and advertising copy.

Professional communications are the "information product" of all organizations and businesses. Based on that premise, this book offers communications strategies that will benefit any organization that disseminates technical information in-house and/or to customers. The popular work provides easy-to-understand and apply guidelines for designing and writing effective technical documents, as well as other related communications. What makes this new edition especially valuable is that it maintains the quality of information that distinguished the previous editions, but is now updated to encompass current technology and trends, including today's prevalent communication tools such as social media.
The book begins by looking at skills common to all technical writing and offering general advice on designing and writing reports. Next is a discussion of specific types of reports along with common problems and issues writers face. Finally, the work overviews other forms of communications such as professional presentations. The updated material also considers the growing importance of interviews and focus groups as information-gathering tools, the influence of visual rhetoric, and the use of technologies such as Skype and webinars.
