Moving Words provides a direct line into the most pressing issues in contemporary dance scholarship; as well as insights into ways in which dance contributes to and creates culture. Instead of representing a single viewpoint; the essays in this volume reflect a range of perspectives and represent the debates swirling within dance. The contributors confront basic questions of definition and interpretation within dance studies; while at the same time examining broader issues; such as the body; gender; class; race; nationalism and cross-cultural exchange. Specific essays address such topics as the black male body in dance; gender and subversions in the dances of Mark Morris; race and nationalism in Martha Grahams American Document; and the history of oriental dance.

An Extremely Helpful; Easy to Understand ReferenceBy Scott Rifkin; M.A.As principal of a small environmental consulting firm; it is crititcal that I remain up-to-date on environmental requirements affecting my clients. Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP) requiremnts; also known as Brownfield requirements; are often cumbersome; unclear; and incomplete. Mr. Russ book; Redeveloping Brownfields: Landscape Architects; Site Planners; Developers; has helped to clarify the general "brownfields" process which is applicable throughout the Country and the specific requirements of Marylands VCP program. We are greatful for this very valuable guide.
