Book Description
Sarah Kane was one of the landmark playwrights of 1990s Britain, her influence being felt across UK and European theatre. This is the first book to focus exclusively on Kane's unique approach to mind and mental health. It offers an important re-evaluation of her oeuvre, revealing the relationship between theatre and mind which lies at the heart of her theatrical project. Drawing on performance theory, psychoanalysis and neuroscience, this book argues that Kane's innovations generate a 'dramaturgy of psychic life', which re-shapes the encounter between stage and audience. It uses previously unseen archival material and contemporary productions to uncover the mechanics of this innovative theatre practice. Through a radically open-ended approach to dramaturgy, Kane's works offer urgent insights into mental suffering that take us beyond traditional discourses of empathy and mental health and into a profound rethinking of theatre as a mode of thought. As such, her theatre can help us to understand debates about mental suffering today.

Book Description
A ruthless, greedy ship captain. An assassin’s intrigue. A ferocious battle with the Tlingit. In 1795, Russia dominates the Pacific fur trade. Cultures clash on every shore as explorers sail the unknown waters of Pacific North America. Brothers Grigori and Mikhail Romanukski, born to early American settlers of Spanish-Russian heritage, join the crew of the Russian brigantine Phoenix. Their journey along untamed shores takes them to ancient China and a shapeshifter’s prophecy yet to be fulfilled. Diversity and shared destinies fill this tale of adventure, survival, and a brotherly bond that cannot be broken by the passage of time.

Book Description
This beautifully designed and richly illustrated book recreates Paul Kane's heroic 1845 -- 48 journey from the Great Lakes to the Pacific coast, and brings to life the people, places, and events he encountered. He returned to Toronto with some 500 field sketches which he used as the basis for oil pointings depicting scenes of Indian life. Illustrated with a wide selection of the field sketches as well as his oil paintings, this book reintroduces a remarkable artist to a modern audience. This fascinating text helps us to understand a world now lost to us. It helps to preserve cultures and peoples swallowed up in the western migrations in both the United States and Canada. It takes us into the soul of its subject. -- Salem Statesman Journal
