Edition Statement:Second edition.
ImprintNew York : New York University Press, [2020]
Descriptionx, 406 pages : illustrations ; 27 cm
Note:"This revised edition includes 22 new essays that expand the scope of the book in a number of ways. All of the new entries come from authors who were not in the first edition (except new chapters from the two editors)... The 18 essays that remain from the first edition were some of the most successful pieces according to faculty and students who used the book, and cover many programs that still remain well-known years later. It was difficult removing the other essays from the original, as they all added important perspectives on a range of programs; thankfully, NYU Press has made all of these first edition essays available on their website so that readers can still access them" --Preface to the second edition.
