This volume, a collection with contributions from some of the major
scholars of the Gothic in literature and culture, reflects on how
recent Gothic studies have foregrounded a plethora of technologies
associated with Gothic literary and cultural production. The
engaging essays look into the links between technologies and the
proliferation of the Gothic seen in an excess of Gothic texts and
tropes: Frankensteinesque experiments, the manufacture of synthetic
(true?) blood, Moreauesque hybrids, the power of the Borg, Dr
Jekyll's chemical experimentations, the machinery of Steampunk, or
the corporeal modifications of Edward Scissorhands. Further, they
explore how techno-science has contributed to the proliferation of
the Gothic: Gothic in social media, digital technologies, the
on-line gaming and virtual Goth/ic communities, the special effects
of Gothic-horror cinema. Contributors address how Gothic
technologies have, in a general sense, produced and perpetuated
ideologies and influenced the politics of cultural practice, asking
significant questions: How has the technology of the Gothic
contributed to the writing of self and other? How have Gothic
technologies been gendered, sexualized, encrypted, coded or
de-coded? How has the Gothic manifested itself in new technologies
across diverse geographical locations? This volume explores how
Gothic technologies textualize identities and construct communities
within a complex network of power relations in local, national,
transnational, and global contexts. It will be of interest to
scholars of the literary Gothic, extending beyond to include
fascinating interventions into the areas of cultural studies,
popular culture, science fiction, film, and TV.
Tropical Gothic examines Gothic within a specific geographical area
of 'the South' of the Americas. In so doing, we structure the book
around geographical coordinates (from North to South) and move
between various national traditions of the gothic (Mexico,
Argentina, Brazil, etc) alongside regional manifestations of the
Gothic (the US south and the Caribbean) as well as transnational
movements of the Gothic within the Americas. The reflections on
national traditions of the Gothic in this volume add to the
critical body of literature on specific languages or particular
nations, such as Scottish Gothic, American Gothic, Canadian Gothic,
German Gothic, Kiwi Gothic, etc. This is significant because, while
the Southern Gothic in the US has been thoroughly explored, there
is a gap in the critical literature about the Gothic in the larger
context of region of 'the South' in the Americas. This volume does
not pretend to be a comprehensive examination of tropical Gothic in
the Americas; rather, it pinpoints a variety of locations where
this form of the Gothic emerges. In so doing, the transnational
interventions of the Gothic in this book read the flows of Gothic
forms across borders and geographical regions to tease out the
complexities of Gothic cultural production within cultural and
linguistic translations. Tropical Gothic includes, but is by no
means limited to, a reflection on a region where European colonial
powers fought intensively against indigenous populations and
against each other for control of land and resources. In other
cases, the vast populations of African slaves were transported,
endowing these regions with a cultural inheritance that all the
nations involved are still trying to comprehend. The volume
reflects on how these histories influence the Gothic in this
region.
An urgent volume of essays engages the Gothic to advance important
perspectives on our geological era  What can the Gothic
teach us about our current geological era? More than just spooky,
moonlit castles and morbid graveyards, the Gothic represents a
vibrant, emergent perspective on the Anthropocene. In this volume,
more than a dozen scholars move beyond longstanding perspectives on
the Anthropocene—such as science fiction and apocalyptic
narratives—to show that the Gothic offers a unique (and dark)
interpretation of events like climate change, diminished
ecosystems, and mass extinction. Embracing pop cultural phenomena
like True Detective, Jaws, and Twin Peaks, as well as topics from
the New Weird and prehistoric shark fiction to ruin porn and the
“monstroscene,†Dark Scenes from Damaged Earth demonstrates the
continuing vitality of the Gothic while opening important new paths
of inquiry. These essays map a genealogy of the Gothic while
providing fresh perspectives on the ongoing climate chaos, the
North/South divide, issues of racialization, dark ecology,
questions surrounding environmental justice, and much more.

First published in 1996. One of the primary goals of this series
has been to explore new areas of criminology and criminal justice,
topics that constitute the frontiers of the field. This work,
edited by Sally Edwards, Terry Edwards and Charles Fields
exemplifies that purpose in its coverage of environmental crime.
While corporate and political crime developed slowly into
mainstream criminology over the last half century, environmental
crime, as an area of emphasis is still in its infancy. It is
unusual to have many varied and informative perspectives early in a
subject's development. This volume, however, demonstrates that many
people are already examining environmental crime perhaps as an
extension of both the greater environmental movement and the
broadening of the popular parameters of crime.

A comprehensive resource for understanding how to minimize risk and
increase profits
In this accessible resource, Wall Street trader and quantitative
analyst Davis W. Edwards offers a definitive guide for
nonprofessionals which describes the techniques and strategies
seasoned traders use when making decisions. "Risk Management in
Trading" includes an introduction to hedge fund and proprietary
trading desks and offers an in-depth exploration on the topic of
risk avoidance and acceptance. Throughout the book Edwards explores
the finer points of financial risk management, shows how to
decipher the jargon of professional risk-managers, and reveals how
non-quantitative managers avoid risk management pitfalls.
Avoiding risk is a strategic decision and the author shows how
to adopt a consistent framework for risk that compares one type of
risk to another. Edwards also stresses the fact that any trading
decision that isn't based on the goal of maximizing profits is a
decision that should be strongly scrutinized. He also explains that
being familiar with all the details of a transaction is vital for
making the right investment decision.Offers a comprehensive

The world is populated with many different objects, to which we
often attribute properties: we say, for example, that grass is
green, that the earth is spherical, that humans are animals, and
that murder is wrong. We also take it that these properties are
things in their own right: there is something in which being green,
or spherical, or an animal, or wrong, consists, and that certain
scientific or normative projects are engaged in uncovering the
essences of such properties. In light of this, an important
question arises: what kind of things should we take properties
themselves to be? In Properties, Douglas Edwards gives an engaging,
accessible, and up-to-date introduction to the many theories of
properties available. Edwards charts the central positions in the
debate over properties, including the views that properties are
universals, that properties are constructed from tropes, and that
properties are classes of objects, and assesses the benefits and
disadvantages of each. Attempts to deny the existence of properties
are also considered, along with pluralist proposals, which aim to
accommodate the different kinds of properties that are found in
various philosophical debates. Properties is the ideal introduction
to this topic and will be an invaluable resource for scholars and
students wishing to learn more about the important roles that
properties have played, and continue to play, in contemporary
philosophy.

responsibilities teaching patrons at the reference desk or on
library tours drafting enforceable rules avoiding the unauthorized
practice of law charging--or not charging--fees for services
cross-training reference personnelSome of the traditional problems
of law librarians are solved by computers; others are actually
exacerbated by the new technologies available. In addition to
finding ways that technology can help law librarians, Emerging
Solutions in Reference Services offers solutions for the special
problems posed by new technology, including questions of Web
design, setting up online reference services, virtual library
tours, Internet training for patrons, and ensuring technological

Within each of us lies the potential to activate a personal
connection to the superconscious. Called "Ureaus" in ancient
Egyptian texts and "Kundalini" in ancient Hindu yoga traditions,
our innate serpent power of spiritual transcendence inhabits the
base of the spine in its dormant state. When awakened, it unfurls
along the spinal column to the brain, connecting individual
consciousness to the consciousness of the universe enfolded within
the dark matter of space. At the root of creativity and spiritual
genius across innumerable cultures and civilizations, this
intelligent force reveals portals that enfold time, space, and the
luminous matrix of reality itself. Combining physics, neuroscience,
and biochemistry with ancient traditions from Africa and India,
Edward Bruce Bynum, Ph.D., explores the ancient Egyptian science of
the Ureaus and reveals how it is intimately connected to dark
matter and to melanin, a light-sensitive, energy-conducting
substance found in the brain, nervous system, and organs of all
higher life-forms. He explains how the dark light of melanin serves
as the biochemical infrastructure for the subtle energy body, just
as dark matter, together with gravity, holds the galaxies and
constellations together. With illustrated instructions, he shows
how to safely awaken and stabilize the spiritual energy of the
Ureaus through meditation practices, breathing exercises, and yoga
postures as well as how to prepare the subtle body for
transdimensional soul travel. By embracing the dark light of the
shining serpent within, we overcome our collective fear of the vast
living darkness without. By embracing the dark, we transcend
reality to the dimension of light.
The Conference on Tropical Rainforest Research: Current Issues was
organised by the University of Brunei Darussalam and The Royal
Geographical Society, London, and held in Bandar Seri Begawan,
Brunei Darussalam, over 8 days in April 1993. Over 160 participants
from 22 countries attended the Conference, which was opened on the
9th April by the Brunei Darussalam Minister for Home Affairs, Yang
Berhormat Pehin Orang Kaya Laila Setia Bakti Diraja Dato Laila
Utama Haji Awang Isa bin Datu Perdana Menteri Dato Laila Utama Haji
Awang Ibrahim. The conference was initially intended to provide a
forum to present the results of the expedition into the lowland
mixed dipterocarp forest of the Temburong District of Brunei
Darussalam, which had been jointly organised by the University of
Brunei Darussalam and The Royal Geographical Society, London. The
15-month expedition, lasting from January 1991 to March 1992, was
based at the then newly-completed Kuala Belalong Field Studies
Centre, a research and education facility set up by the University
with funds provided by the Brunei Government and Brunei-Shell
Petroleum Sdn Bhd. The expedition, with over 70 scientists taking
part, received financial support from a wide range of sponsors and
Corporate Patrons, including Royal Brunei Airlines, the Baring
Foundation, Daiwa-Dicam, Greencard Trust, the Hongkong Bank, Morgan
Grenfell and Nomura-Nimco. The conference itself was supported by
donations from Brunei-Shell Sdn Bhd, Royal Brunei Airlines and
Standard Chartered Bank.

Travel writing is a genre monopolised by Westerners. For centuries
the preserve of Europeans who reported on the "exotic", it sought
to make sense of other landscapes and cultures, but almost
exclusively through a European prism of references. This anthology,
stretching from the fifth to the nineteenth centuries, introduces
an entirely different tradition of travel writing - the work of
travellers from the world beyond Europe. Other Routes collects
important primary work by travel writers from Asia and Africa in
English translation. Encompassing spiritual journeys, the personal,
ethnography, natural history, geography, cartography, navigation,
politics, history, religion and diplomacy, it shows that Africans
and Asians also travelled the world and left travel writing worth
reading. An introduction by Tabish Khair discusses travel
literature as a genre, the perception of travel and writing about
travel as a European privilege, and the emergence of new writings
that show that travel has been a human occupation that crosses time
and culture. Selections include The Travels of a Japanese Monk (c.
838), Al-Abdari, The Disgruntled Traveller (c. 1290), A Korean
Official's Account of China (1488), The Poetry of Basho's Road
(1689), Malabari: A Love-Hate Affair with the British (1890).

The notion of a person--or even an object--having a "double" has
been explored in the visual arts for ages, and in myriad ways:
portraying the body and its soul, a woman gazing at her reflection
in a pool, or a man overwhelmed by his own shadow. In this edited
collection focusing on nineteenth- and twentieth-century western
art, scholars analyze doppelgangers, alter egos, mirror images,
double portraits and other pairings, human and otherwise, appearing
in a large variety of artistic media. Artists whose works are
discussed at length include Richard Dadd, Salvador Dali, Egon
Schiele, Frida Kahlo, the creators of Superman, and Nicola
Costantino, among many others.
Canadians have always been obsessed with the idea of their own
identities. Stories that tell us who we are provide a reassuring
sense of identity for the individual and the nation. Hockey. Maple
Leaves, Beavers. But collective stories tend to be haunted by a
fear that a shared narrative might be nothing more than an
elaborate artifice. This fear has long been a source of gothic
inspiration for Canadian writers. A haunted Canadian self returns
again and again, Polite, Friendly, Not American. With examples of
gothic discourse from Canadian fiction, autobiography, film,
poetry, and drama, Justin Edwards analyzes the ghost at the heart
of the nation. A major contribution to cultural and literary
studies, Gothic Canada unearths two centuries of Canadian gothic
writings to reveal uncanny traditions of trauma, repression, and
monstrosity.
