Review
"A wickedly funny portrait of this community in black…If you're the sort who gives out gifts on Hallow's Eve, Encyclopedia Gothica is ideal for babybats and elder goths who'll appreciate the wealth of reminders of the experiences that make up goth life." —NOW Magazine (October 2011)

"We knew that we were going to like this book from the very first page. . . . Ladouceur is a rare gem of a commenter that has the ability not only to laugh at herself, but to be able to get you to laugh at yourself too." —www.HoustonPress.com (October 2011)

"Ladouceur has compiled a thorough and amusing encyclopedia about all-things-Goth . . . Whether you want to read about Nosferatu, Goth Juice or mall Goths you'll find brief and truly informative segments in Encyclopedia Gothica." —www.AntiMusic.com

"Encyclopedia Gothica, contrary to what you might think of goth culture, doesn't take itself too seriously. Just the opposite: Ladouceur's humour is a welcome rarity in an oft-misunderstood subculture." —Maclean's (November 2011)

"For those who continue to fear Goths, this book is a powerful antidote. Despite their spiky, menacing exterior, Encyclopedia Gothica details a culture as harmless and geeky as your average Star Wars fanboy or Kiss Army foot soldier." —National Post (November 2011)

"Anyone who identifies as a Goth but wishes that people would stop asking what that means now has a book that they can point people to. Including illustrations from the talented Gary Pullin, Encyclopedia Gothica is the essential Goth reference whether you're wondering who Sisters of Mercy are or what absinthe is (and why Marilyn Manson has his own brand of the green stuff)." —www.GeeksOfDoom.com

Excerpt. � Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
What Is “What Is Goth”?

Ask a Goth person “What is Goth?” and they’ll likely tell you, “I’m not Goth.” Which is a sure sign that they are, in fact, %666 Goth. If you find this confusing, this book is for you. If this makes perfect sense, this book is for you — but it is also about you.

It’s no wonder that the G–word perplexes both insiders and on–lookers alike. This one hard–working four–letter word has been asked to define so many things: music, fashion, architecture, typefaces, literature, cinema, a Germanic tribal horde and, for about 30 years now, the kind of people prone to hanging out in graveyards sipping red wine and pretending it’s blood while reading Shelley aloud and contemplating the bleakness of existence (and/or holing up in their bedrooms with Joy Division records). At least that’s who one might think a Goth person is by the way we are most often portrayed in news reports and the kind of articles that pop up around Halloween or whenever a teenager wearing a black T–shirt shoots someone.

I say “we” here because I am, unabashedly, Goth.

I wasn’t born that way, a daughter of darkness. But it didn’t take much. In fact it took exactly 4 minutes and 20 seconds of television. MuchMusic, then the Nation’s Music Station in Canada, had just come to my area and, being obsessed with popular music, I watched every day after school. And on one afternoon in the late 1980s Much played “She Sells Sanctuary” by a British band I didn’t know, The Cult. Like most videos of the era, it was a simple performance clip, the band lip–synching and fake–playing in a studio — in this case one bathed in psychedelic coloured lights. It’s not, viewed today, particularly Goth. (Singer Ian Astbury is dressed like a hippie and guitarist Billy Duffy has short white blond hair, to start.) But its opening moments — a red curtain parts to reveal a shadowy, Shaman–type figure all in black slowly swirling his hands around in a fog — hypnotized me like nothing I’d seen before. And the song itself — with its incessant drumbeat, intoxicating echoey guitar riffs and infectiously simple, haunting refrain about the world dragging us down was my first exposure to something that bombastically melodramatic. I knew melancholy from poetry, but this was ache you could dance to. For me, being exposed to “She Sells Sanctuary” was like getting a blood transfusion: I woke up afterwards and my insides were completely different. I had a totally new pulse.

After The Cult came The Cure. And Love and Rockets and Bauhaus and The Sisters of Mercy and Siouxsie and everything else I could get my hands on in a small town, pre–internet. A random photo of three scary looking guys in a free magazine turned me on to Skinny Puppy, and from them came the discovery of industrial music. By this point, I had moved to Toronto, knew the word “Goth,” and was well on my way to exploring everything that meant. Ultimately, I started publishing my own fanzine (The Ninth Wave, named after an album side by Kate Bush) and guest co–hosting a campus radio show, Beyond the Gates of Hell, with the Gothiest boy in town. It was about this time that I started being asked, “What is Goth?” A lot. Especially by the media.

On many occasions I primped for evening news cameras or wayward reporters and tried my best to explain what the hell all this was. I would declare how we are not (all) suicidal or satanic, speak haughtily of a love for poetry and philosophy and beauty and romance, trying my best to convey, in a way that just might make it into the inevitably truncated soundbite, just what is Goth.

I was, of course, doomed.

Since it first crawled out of the clubs of England and America in the death throes of the 1970s, the subculture we’ve come to call Goth has been difficult to explain. At the start, these denizens of the night were known as batcavers or death rockers, the music was generally considered part of post–punk and the clothes were simply … black. Mystery lingers over who first appropriated the word “Goth” to describe this new kind of young freak; my beloved Ian Astbury (one of those Goth icons who insists he’s not Goth at all) is just one who has staked his claim to it.

By the mid–1980s, the G–word was well established, and a collective consciousness evolved around the term. Gothic rock was a legit musical genre. There were Goth–specific shops, Goth magazines and Goth festivals. Goth was now a somewhat recognizable thing, a world of Victorian– or Medieval–inspired sense and sensibilities co–mingling with punk rock and S&M attitude and fashion. And the diverse crew of anarchists, art school brats and horror movie fans who had started it seemed to have been distilled into a fairly homogenous bunch — one quite easy to identify. Or so we thought. Thanks to explosion of the internet in the mid–1990s these people — many of them misfits in small towns around the globe — started to find each other in great numbers. And as they chatted amongst themselves, they discovered that as much as they were all drawn to what had come to be known as Goth, they weren’t necessarily alike. A popular question became, “Is [this thing I like/hate] Goth?” Because, like any good species seeking immortality, the subculture was mutating, drawing upon new influences such as cyberpunk, rave culture and anime and finding new ways of expressing a devotion to the dark side beyond black eyeliner and backcombed hair. The different factions named themselves: rivetheads, Cybergoths, Romantigoths, etc. Each new wave brought their own codes of conduct and methods of communication. For the one thing these sub–groups had in common was that each sought to distinguish itself from the others, and from youth culture trends at large. And so, Goths reevaluated what the G–word meant, twisting it into new variations to suit the bewildering number of subgenres and sub–subgenres, so much so that terms such as Trad Goth emerged to distinguish the oldschool original folk from the new.

Dance The Ghost With Me. . . .
By M. Gheesling
To distill an entire subculture into one book isn't any easy task. In the case of "Encyclopedia Gothica," it's even harder as Goths are constantly asking the question "What is Goth ?" and reinventing the definition. Surely, there will be at least one Goth who reads this book and exclaims "They included Band X ?! They're not Goth !" or "Why wasn't Band Y included ? They're G.A.F.!" (Exclamation #2 was my refrain when I discovered that the band This Ascension was missing an entry. By the way, if you don't know what G.A.F. is, you need this book.)

Nevertheless, the author does an admirable job of including the right stuff and leaving out the superfluous. Enduring Goth stuff and stuff that Goths have loved forever (Sisters of Mercy; Kambriel, the fashion designer; Hammer Horror films; Snakebite cocktails, etc.) are included while flash-in-the-pan micro-trends and the promising-but-too-new are not. (Sorry, Coilhouse magazine.)

What elevates Encyclopedia Gothica above other reference works are the wry opinions of the author. With typical Goth snarkiness, what could have been a dry reference work becomes much more entertaining, even if you don't agree with the author's viewpoints. (Personally, I didn't think Winona Ryder was all that bad in "Bram Stoker's Dracula," although she was upstaged by Sadie Frost. )

In any case, Encyclopedia Gothica, in short order, has earned a place on my bookshelf right next to my copies of Baudelaire's "Flowers of Evil" and Voltaire's "What Is Goth ?" and "Paint It Black: The Guide To Gothic Homemaking." All dark hearts should get a copy. . . .

Haunting
By Kyle Bernstein
This is a beautifully presented, lovingly-written account of the who's who, what's what, origins, and history of the Gothic arts. Less "Goth for Dummies" than a well-organized and comprehensive guide to the wonderfully dark underworld by one who has obviously lived it. The lovely cover art makes this a great (Halloween) gift for your favourite night person. It would fell right at home on the shelf amongst the Poppy Z. Brite and Ann Rice or displayed on the mantle or coffee table.

Basic and Useful
By P. G. Wickberg
I lay no claim to be a Goth, even an Elder Goth, but I do admit to being Goth-curious (don't know what those mean? That's why you need this book!) For those looking for a way to learn more about them without having to put on fishnet, striped tights or eyeliner, Liisa (that's how the book spells it, no matter what Amazon says...) Ladouceur gives almost 300 pages of definitions of all things Goth (not Gothic - an important difference, although she does mention the Visigoths and their Ostrogoth cousins in passing). The scope is world-wide, although outside the U.S. she devotes little space to anything besides the UK, Germany and Japan - isn't there a Goth scene in Russia by now? She also does so with a outrageous humor that is totally at odds with the usual media image as Goths as cheerless souls who hang around in dark corners obsessing about the sadness of life. There is even a subset called Perky Goths, Liisa informs us, who wear pink and are relentlessly cheerful (the black-clad corner lurkers, she says, are a subset known as Mopey Goths). There are also Trad Goths (who don't believe anything Gothic post-dates 1990), Cyber Goths (who are obsessed with technology, natch) and Faerie Goths (usually found chilling out at Renaissance Fairs), and so on. The book also gives a pretty good fast summary of the "progressive music" scene from the beginnings of punk to more-or-less the present, although obviously she concentrates on the groups of most interest to Goths. The book's one drawback is that it was complete up to 2011, when it was published - nothing changes faster that popular culture, and by 2014 it is in need of an update!

Review
"...a welcome addition...Tudge's work makes important conceptual and empirical contributions to the developmental literature. It presents us with compelling arguments about the need to justify the choice of cultural units and observational categories in describing children's daily activities. It offers a theoretical framework for the study of culture and development, and proposes a broader conception of ethnographic research methodology. Finally, this work enables us to better understand the children of the majority world while providing new information about the children of the Western industrial world as it also guides future research in significant ways."
--Human Development, Artin G�nc� and Barbara Abel, University of Illinois at Chicago


"... a breakthrough contribution. The multidisciplinary nature of the work also invites readers to consider culture in all of its complexity and fluidity, and presents interesting possibilities for studying education, urbanicity, and childrearing as shaped by-and as they shape-culture... this work pushes the boundaries of research typically classified as ''cross-cultural'' by spotlighting children in urban settings around the world and by including comparisons not only across societies but also within societies..."
--Fabienne Doucet, New York University, Journal of Marriage and Family

It's always great to know what you are aim for
By Amazon Customer
I own a lot of cook books, trawl online for recipes and I bake almost every weekend. Many times recipes simply don't work. So far I have tried 5 recipes and had 5 hits. This is first for me.
The book is well laid out. A recipe with a picture on the adjacent page. It's always great to know what you are aim for. The recipes are simple, instructions are clear and the final product great.
My only tiny complaint would be that the book I received was small, and writing smaller. It's a struggle to read sometimes, especially when the print is coloured. Other than that it's absolutely brilliant !

My British friend said it was the best she'd ever had
By Christine Beutner
Although this volume is tiny, it's packed with to the point tips and recipes. American readers will need to do conversation of temperature and amounts, but these efforts will be well worth it!!
I promptly baked the first recipe, a Victoria Sanswich, following the converted recipe exactly. My British friend said it was the best she'd ever had!
I also purchased the first Brit Baking Challenge book- but The 100 is far superior

My baking Bible
By Auntgogo
I love this cookbook! It's a tiny gem! I've never been into baking, but after watching The Great British Bakeoff, I wanted to try my hand at some home baked goodies. After watching and admiring Mary Berry on that show, I found this cookbook. Because it was NOT huge and encyclopedic, I bought it and began to work my way through the recipes that appealed to me most, starting with the simplest and working up to the more complex. Every one is a winner! No disappointments. Delicious, and, what's more important, clear and easy to understand, with handy key tips for serving and storing. I feel that this little cookbook has really allowed me to build up my confidence and thus my expertise/skill as a baker. The perfect baking primer - just learn by doing. Highly recommended!

From Publishers Weekly
The reader almost despairs of a story getting under way in Forsyth's latest: the situation takes so long to set up, and is mired in such wearisome detail. Finally, after it has been made clear that both a renegade Soviet military group and a fanatical Texan oil baron plan to take over an oil-rich Middle Eastern state for their different twisted reasons, the action begins. The son of the American president (who is about to sign a major arms agreement with Gorbachev himself) is kidnapped, and, despite the best efforts of Quinn, the negotiator, is killed at the very moment of his ransoming. The president is stricken, a takeover of the U.S. government looms, and it looks as if the treaty is doomed. Now it is up to Quinn to find out who was behind the crime, and why. With a plucky and pretty female FBI agent, he scours obscure corners of northern Europe for the perpetrators--always to find them dead just as he arrives. In a cliffhanger of a conclusion, he brings the guilt home to Washington, the president perks up and the world is saved. As always, Forsyth is good at the details (you learn more about Dutch and Belgian road maps than you probably ever wanted to know), keeps a few surprises up his sleeve and writes action scenes more crisply, and with less gore, than Ludlum. But his characterization is flat, and much of The Negotiator is terribly familiar. By far the best parts are the negotiations for the ransoming of the president's son, which generate real tension. BOMC main selection.

Don't get warned off by the editorial reviews. 5 star book!
By A Customer
The Day of the Jackal, despite being a superb book for it's time is starting to get just a little outdated. I mean, it remains one of the greatest intellectual thriller types but fans today like a bit more action, a bit more suprises, a bit more twists. On this aspect, I have to say than in my opinion, The Negotiator is Forsyth's best book to date. It's not as tightly plotted as Jackal or Odessa (a particular sub plot gets wrapped up too quickly in the end) but it certainly is a hell of a sizzling read with plenty of suspense and twists and action. Yes, the details may annoy some but the suspense that forsyth manages to sheath every page with is more than enough to cover any minor flaws and Quinn is simply, the best hero Forsyth has ever come up with (The Jackal was not exactly the hero).
Dont get scared by the Publisher's Weekly review, while the book does take some time to delve into the main plot, the beginning too is VERY gripping with the plotting of a coup etc etc and once the story gets started this is one tremendously enjoyable thriller.

mediocre for Forsyth, which means it's worth a look
By mackattack9988
This is not one of Forsyth's better books in my opinion, but it's still an enjoyable read overall. While Quinn, "the negotiator," is an interesting and entertaining character to follow, I don't think he lives up to the claim of "Forsyth's best yet." The plots and subplots here are really nothing very unique, but the book is good because of the way Forsyth tells it and puts it together. There are some nice surprises, especially in the last third of the book, and the conclusion, while perhaps quick, is quite satisfactory. The inclusion of Margaret Thatcher and Mikhail Gorbachev in their respective real-life political roles is handled well but is by no means a primary focus of the book. The Negotiator is good, but if you're pressed for time and can only choose one Forsyth novel, you'd be better served to choose one of the others.

Very Good Reading.
By OverTheMoon
The first 100 pages sets up the basic premise and characters before launching into a nail-biting hostage drama and a chase across Europe for the kidnappers that leads back to the US. Although the character Quinn, the negotiator, is fully fleshed out along with the kidnapper Zack, the story is far fetched when it comes to the detective work. The kidnapping case comes to a climax half way though the book and I found everything fully believable and enjoyable until then. After this pinnacle part of the story it looses the believable part and just becomes strictly enjoyable. Unlike his other novels "The 4th Protocol etc.", it seems to miss out on keeping the story simple and believable.
This novel is a bit like "Hannibal" in many ways. There are lots of disturbed villains with their own tastes and a great memorable character in the form of British gentleman working for the KGB, but alas it really does have some big plot holes and "chance" discoveries that leave you thinking that the book could have been planned a bit better with regards to that. Although the writer does go to great pains to tell us that detective work needs a bit of "luck" or a "break" in the case for things to work out, the breaks that Quinn gets are all too much to really believe. Other than that the novel is extremely easy to read and you will not put it down until you have finished that "next chapter". Good show, shame about the severe bending of reality though. Keep it real Fred!! I much preferred the detective work in "The 4th Protocol" compared to this.

Subcultural phenomena continue to draw attention from many areas of contemporary society, including the news media, the marketing and fashion industries, concerned parents, religious, and other citizen groups, as well as academia. Research into these phenomena has spanned the humanities and social sciences, and the subcultural theories that underlie this work are similarly interdisciplinary. Subcultural Theory brings these diverse analytic issues together in a single text, offering readers a concise discussion of the major concepts and debates that have developed over more than eighty years of subcultural research, including style, stratification, resistance, identity, media and "post subcultures".

The text emphasizes methods, concepts, and analysis rather than mere descriptions of individual subcultures, all the while ensuring readers will gain insight into past and present youthful subcultures, including mod, punk, hardcore, straightedge, messenger, goth, riot grrrl, hip-hop, skinhead, and extreme metal, among others. The book closes with an assessment of the subculture concept as a viable and useful sociological tool in comparison with other fields of study including social movements and fandom.

Review
"By far the most thorough and thoughtfully researched introduction to the field to date ... Highly recommended."
Choice

"Lays important tracks in the field of youth cultural studies and contributes powerful new data to the Chicago School’s legacy of urban ethnography and deviance studies, returning symbolic interactionism to its roots without looking backward."
Symbolic Interaction

"In this book, Patrick Williams offers the fields of sociology, criminology, and youth cultural studies the most encyclopedic and visionary treatment of subcultural theory and youth sensibilities to date. Williams's fusion of classic theory, modern research, and contemporary popular culture trends is masterful and Subcultural Theory is an invaluable resource to professors and researchers working in the areas of youth subcultures, deviance, and social theory."
Tammy Anderson, University of Delaware

"Subcultural Theory is essential reading for anyone interested in subculture studies. Patrick Williams explores the central concepts of the field - style, homology, moral panics, identity, authenticity, and more - with depth, precision, and clarity. He carefully outlines the key contributions and controversies related to major schools of thought, from the Chicago School to post-subculture studies. The thoughtful discussions of hegemony and resistance will push the study of subcultures forward. This book will be one of the most important texts in this field for years to come."
Ross Haenfler, The University of Mississippi

"Thorough, accessible and engaging throughout, Subcultural Theory offers an invaluable guide for those new to the subject at the same time as providing a distinctive and thought-provoking critical contribution which will be of great interest to established scholars."
Paul Hodkinson, University of Surrey

There is no business that can survive without an accountant to provide the necessary information for management decisions. But as a useful tool, accounting has its obvious limitations that are keenly perceived more by the non-accountants. To wit, the business cannot thrive with it only as a trade tool. It cannot measure and record everything that sustains a business. And although the debits might equal the credits, the employees may be highly dissatisfied. Debited, Credited and Accounted exalts accounting’s strengths while pointing out its weaknesses. Using real-life examples, the author proposes a bridge between accounting and human behavior, thus enriching both the hard and soft sides of business. For business students, the book promises to make accounting concepts less frighteningly technical and more down-to-earth. For accounting professionals, Debited, Credited and Accounted offers a light way to extend their specialized knowledge to an equally challenging business facet of managing human behavior.

Enlightening Take on Accounting
By Beth
This is truly a must have book for those interested in accounting and I only wish it had been available when I was taking my own accounting courses.

The book takes what can seem to some as a very impersonal and rather cold business chore and, through the use of touching real life examples, shows the reader a new side of accounting that is very enlightening.

Whether you are a student taking accounting courses or a practicing professional this is a lovely book that brings warmth and humanity to the subject and I highly recommend it.

For a New Start Professional to Seasoned Miner, this is a Great Book to Have in your Reference Library
By KD
I bought this book and another for an upcoming Professional Exam. Unfortunately, so while I studied and graduted in Engineering I did not specifically study mining engineering in college and pretty much need to learn an entire discipline in 3 months when it takes 4 or more years to do so.

In stark contrast to another book I purchased, this book is a standard of excellence. Not only is much of the information useful, clear and noteworthy it is easy to read and reads well. In other words, even though the book is purely technical in nature it was genuinely an enjoyable survey.

Most if not all of the contributors wrote compelling case studies, were forthright in the uniqueness of their situations and still tied it back to general principles and theories. They were frank, honest, ethical and seemed eager to pass wisdom.

Parts that were principle based and theoretical were in recognizable nomenclature, followed easily understood derivations and were bolstered with real examples that were also easy to follow. Calculations were straightforward and to the point. There were no surprise derived equation as in, Substitute Eq 5.1.300 in chapter 5 into this equation 29.33.200 in chapter 29 to get this partial equation for...

Finally, and I admit that this is silly, but in a dry world of handbooks where most technical reference books are either an offending bright primary color (ie SME Handbook 2nd Edition) or basically just a blank cover with letters, this book has a pretty cool cover images. Yes, it is silly, but into bought it and I am glad I did.

Underground Mining Methods
By Kevin Zlatkus
Comprehensive coverage of the mining sector by various discipline experts. Case study approach is great as each package is relatively small and can be read in depth, if required.

Splendid work
By Newton Ooi
As analytical and synthesis techniques become more powerful, it is now possible to examine and fine-tune materials at the atomic scale. Likewise, continual advances in computer hardware and software have allowed more people the ability to model processes and materials at the atomic scale. Consequently, there is a growing need for good textbooks on the atomic and electronic structure of solids. Alas, most of the relevant textbooks suffer from one or more of the following drawbacks:

1. There is too much math and physics for most people. In other words, there are too many equations, proofs, and derivations. This usually manifests itself in sections on quantum mechanics and ab initio modeling.

2. The texts become less an educational tool and more a showcase of the latest and greatest achievements by the author(s). This negative can often be spotted by looking at the book's table of contents. If each chapter is written by a separate author, then you can be sure that the text often end up as extended reviews of that author(s)' publications.

3. Not enough coverage of background information. The study of solids at the atomic level is being approached by multiple fields that usually have NO interdisciplinary overlap in education institutions. Examples include geology, electrical engineering, biochemistry, tribology, materials science, etc... Therefore, a book to serve members from all these fields should have a lot of background information in topics such as thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, crystal structure and defects, group theory, etc...

4. Lack of pictorial representation. A picture is worth a thousand words; and even more so if you are trying to understand microscopic phenomena such as bonding, dislocation motion, etc... Too many textbooks have too few, well-explained pictures.

This book by Kaxiras does not suffer from any of these drawbacks. I consider it the best book so far on this topic.

First, it is written entirely by one author, yet I could not find a single reference to any of his publications within the book. There was absolutely no feeling that this book was trying to review someone's work, or some body of work. Instead, the book read like a well writtent textbook.

Second, the topics are written for a general audience, with enough background information that undergraduate science and engineering students can understand it. Specifically, the first chapter of the book starts with the Periodic Table of Elements and explains why different elements form different types of solids. This is extremely valuable information for anyone who has never had a course in materials science, which probably means most chemists, electrical engineers, biologists, etc...

3. Lots and lots of review literature is cited- WITH explanations of why it was suggested to the reader for further reading.

4. I counted 1 picture per every 2 pages. That is astounding. Even though the pictures were B&W, I understand all of them. Every one had axes labeled, a legend, a descriptive header, etc...

5. Thorough and basic explanation of band structures. Too many texts spend too much time explaining the different methods of obtaining band structures (LMTO, LAPW, pseudopotential + plane waves, APW, PAW, etc...). This book instead provided a whole chapter on understanding a band diagram, correlating a band diagram with the geometry of a material, and the physical origins of band structures. This is prerequisite knowledge before any further attempts to understand the electronic properties of materials.

6. Justification of each approximation, along with accompanying successes and failures. This book examined the mean-field, Born-Oppenheimer, frozen-phonon, pseudopotential, and other approximations commonly used in atomic-scale modeling, and provided thorough, well-organized justification of each one, along with a listing of their successes and failures.

In all, I recommend this book to anyone as a prerequisite reading before attempting to do research on the atomic or electronic structure of materials.

Best Appendix Ever !!!
By Luke Autry
It's because of books like these that I've never had to take a formal quantum mechanics course to understand electronic structure theory. Hands down, this is one of the best theoretical solid state physics books.
