Metallica formed in 1981 in Los Angeles, California, their original
line-up consisted of Ulrich, rhythm guitarist and vocalist James
Hetfield, lead guitarist Dave Mustaine, and bassist Ron McGovney.
Mustaine and McGovney subsequently left and were replaced by Kirk
Hammett and Cliff Burton. Burton sadly died when the band's tour
bus crashed in 1986 and Jason Newsted stepped in as a replacement
staying until 2001. Robert Trujillo later joined as the band's
regular bassist in 2003. With a growing fan base on the underground
music scene, the band was also to achieve critical acclaim in 1986
with the release of their "Master of Puppets" album, widely
regarded as one of the most intense and influential of all thrash
metal recordings. Fortune followed fame when their eponymous 1991
album (known to fans as "The Black Album") went straight to No 1 on
the Billboard 200. It has since sold over 15 million copies in the
United States, which makes it the 25th highest selling album in the
country. Metallica has released nine studio albums, two live
albums, two EPs, twenty-two music videos, and forty-three singles.
The band has won seven Grammy Awards, and has had five albums debut
at number one on the Billboard 200. They had sold over 100 million
records worldwide by the time their latest album, "Death Magnetic",
was released in 2008.

Can women succeed? Is women's work appreciated equally to men's? Do
women's salaries reflect the quality and quantity of work they do?
Does gender make a difference? These questions, which often emerge
even in democratic societies and free-market economies, are much
more acute in the new democracies of Central and Eastern Europe.
Gender has been an issue thus far neglected in transition
economies. Drawing on official statistics, an international
multidisciplinary team of sociologists, economists, demographers
and geographers examines how women have been affected by the labor
market reforms in Poland in the transition period of the 1990s. The
issues discussed include occupational segregation, the social
mobility of women, demographic change, the power and participation
of women in public life, women's organizations, and labor market
reform.

This book presents an innovative cross-disciplinary report on
research across the humanities and social sciences about the
relationship between pornography and its consumers. For policy
makers and the wider public it can be difficult to obtain a clear
understanding of the current state of knowledge on pornography and
its relationships with audiences, due to the often-contradictory
nature of research spanning the various and politically diverse
academic disciplines. The cross-disciplinary expertise of the
author team has engaged in an extensive examination of the findings
of academic research in the area in order to explain, in a clear
and accessible style, the most important conclusions about the
relationship of pornography to Healthy Sexual Development. This
short and accessible overview is suitable for students and scholars
in Psychology, Sexual Health, Film Studies, Sex Education, Queer
Theory, Gender Studies, Sexuality Studies, Sociology, Media Studies
and Cultural Studies.
Ida Greaves, who was born in Barbados in 1907, is one of the
"missing female voices" of early development economics. This
biography, the first for Ida Greaves, attempts to construct her
career and era before the past wholly disappears. The biography
covers her early years in Barbados, her time at boarding school in
England, at McGill University in Canada where she focused on human
behaviour under the influence of changing social and political
histories and also published an early pathbreaking study of Black
migrants into Canada, and her later research at Harvard and
Columbia in the United States and at the London School of
Economics. Individual chapters follow her career acting as economic
adviser to the Colonial Office in London, where she worked
alongside Arthur Lewis, and at the fledgling United Nations in New
York. She published in top journals and produced an outstanding
study of the influence of colonial monetary systems on poor
countries. This accessible biography provides unexpected insights
into personalities and institutions during a critical period in
late colonial history. The issues it raises of class and race,
gender and inequality, poverty and unemployment, are of no less
relevance today than they were in her lifetime.
First published in 1958, The Making of Modern Uganda is concerned
with the formation of modern Uganda in the sixty years since the
1890s when the foundations of the British administration were laid.
In the first decade of the 20th century Sir Hesketh Bell,
Uganda’s Governor, decided that Uganda should be built up by
Africans under the disinterested guidance of Europeans. The book
therefore traces the emergence of a territory whose material
prosperity is mainly based upon peasant agriculture guided by the
advice of British agricultural officers. It describes the
development from an era of tribal, clan and even village
organisation to the system of centralised government along
semi-parliamentary lines but notes the disagreement as to whether
Uganda’s future should lie as a unitary or a federal state. The
controversial issue of closer union with the other East African
territories is studied at some length as also is the growth of the
politically active minority which plays so important a part in the
modern Protectorate. The author believes that the years of ‘happy
Uganda’, the years before the Second World War, were a period in
which hard work coupled with peace and obvious progress tended to
conceal for many the growth of new forces which needed an outlet
and only found one in the political and constitutional developments
of the post-war age. This book will be of interest to students of
history, African studies, ethnic studies and political science.
First published in 1975, The Kingdom of Toro in Uganda describes
the foundation of the Toro kingdom in the nineteenth century by the
rebel prince Kaboyo, and investigates how Kasagama, Kaboyo’s
grandson, was able to recreate, with little local support, a
kingdom far more extensive than Kaboyo had ever envisaged. His
personal authority was established by his insistence that its root
were traditional, thus satisfying the requirements of ‘indirect
rules’ at a time when this ill-defined concept served both as the
shibboleth and the escape clause for an overstretched British
colonial administration. Although Kasagama’s son, Rukidi, was
able to combine authority with personal popularity and to take
advantage of colonial innovations without losing control of his
kingdom, the ending of colonial rule brought an end to Toro as he
knew it. In an independent Uganda the particularism stressed by
Toro’s rulers could not survive. This book will be of interest to
students of history, colonialism, African studies and ethnic
studies.

Dialogue between film and theatre studies is frequently hampered by
the lack of a shared vocabulary. Stage-Play and Screen-Play sets
out to remedy this, mapping out an intermedial space in which both
film and theatre might be examined. Each chapter's evaluation of
the processes and products of stage-to-screen and screen-to-stage
transfer is grounded in relevant, applied contexts. Michael Ingham
draws upon the growing field of adaptation studies to present case
studies ranging from Martin McDonagh's The Cripple of Inishmaan and
RSC Live's simulcast of Richard II to F.W. Murnau's silent Tartuff,
Peter Bogdanovich's film adaptation of Michael Frayn's Noises Off,
and Akiro Kurosawa's Ran, highlighting the multiple interfaces
between media. Offering a fresh insight into the ways in which film
and theatre communicate dramatic performances, this volume is a
must-read for students and scholars of stage and screen.
First Published in 1987. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.
The novels of Charlotte and Emily Bronte have become canonical
texts for the application of twentieth century literary and
cultural theory. Along with the work of their sister, Anne, their
texts are regarded as a sources of diversity in themselves, full of
conflictual material which different schools of criticism have
analysed and interpreted. This book shows how the Brontes writings
engage with the major issues which dominate twentieth century
theoretical work. The essays are grouped under broad schools of
theory- biographical; feminist; marxist; psychoanalytical and
postcolonial.
The Military Covenant states that in exchange for their military
service and their willingness to make the ultimate sacrifice,
soldiers should receive the nation's support. Exploring the
concept's invention by the Army in the late 1990s, its migration to
the civilian sphere from 2006 and its subsequent entrenchment in
public policy, Ingham seeks to understand the Covenant's progress
from the esoteric confines of Army doctrine to national
recognition. Drawing on interviews with senior commanders,
policy-makers and representatives of Forces' charities, this study
highlights how the Army deployed the Military Covenant to convey
the pressure on the institution caused by the concurrent combat
operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. While achieving a better deal
for soldiers whose sacrifice became all too apparent, the Military
Covenant licensed unprecedented incursion into politics by senior
commanders, enabling them to out-manoeuvre the Blair-Brown
governments and to challenge the existing norms within Britain's
civil-military relationship. As British Forces prepare to leave
Afghanistan, this study considers the value Britain accords to
military service and whether civilian society will continue to
uphold its Covenant with those who have served the nation.
