Trade Review
“The case studies that comprise Performing Flight are, without exception, lively in their composition and thought provoking in their argument. . . a well-researched volume and an engaging read.” —Susan Bennett, University of Calgary

“An original approach and a novel subject, with as much attention to history as to fieldwork. . . . The breadth of the project and the rigor of the research make for an interesting, convincing, thoughtful and insightful read.”—Sara Brady, Bronx Community College
