Tietoja minusta I'm working on a PhD in history (gentility in colonial Australia).
Tietoja kirjastostani "Serious" books on women, nineteenth century, illness, etiquette, etc. My library is constantly being updated to reflect my reading.
I wish I had more time to read: Agatha Christie, Jane Austen, MaryJanice Davidson, John Grisham. For a young audience but still favourites: Christopher Pike, Gordon Korman.
A touch of romance, a comfortable mystery, a good biography, a simple comedy, a well-thought out sci-fi. Oh, heck, if it's shaped like a book I'd like to read it.

I just saw your post in the Aviation group. I think that the book you are looking for is "Flight Without Formulae : The Principles of Flight Without Mathematical Formulae" by Alfred C. Kermode. I found copies of it for sale on www.bookfinder.com .
Kind regards,
Steve

When had been standing still for about an hour, with no real news (other than that there were delays, well duh!), suddenly the PA springs to life, and somebody says reassuringly that the Red Cross will be along soon to distribute drinking water (it was the hottest day of the year). Then you know you're really screwed.

It's really hard finding Dara Joys books. I had to order mine. The one I see around quite frequently at the library is "Ritual of Proof" It's kind of feministic and set on a moon somewhere. Oh...also its quite steamy. Jorlan is gorgeous. Another vampire series I've read is the Shadow Deweller series by J.C Wilder.
As for Acheron, I cant wait. I heard the same rumor. I dont know who she is. I thought it was Katia but she turned out to be his daughter. There was one other. I think she was the sister of the main character. I think I have to re read it.
Vampirism and humor...I'll try it

It's Robert here from Hobart. I haven't actually read the book you mentioned... I'll have to dig it out and have a look at it.

Anyway, is that only a monster in the sense of 'strange beast/freak of nature' or one in the sense of 'figure of fear, actually preying on humans', as, say, a werewolf?

Sorry to be slow about responding - end of semester / holidays / work stuff. I am about a year and a half into my dissertation - measured in time. It feels like only a month or so in terms of how much (little) I've accomplished. But at least I am pressing on.
I added your library as an interesting one not so much based on its size per se but rather for the books we have in common - especially interesting given its size. Clive Emsley, Foucault, Douglas Hay. The crime and execution books obviously caught my attention.
Please keep in touch - I think it's helpful for fellow grad students to have others with whom to share.
Cheers,
Alex

I think, from what I know about your tastes- which is very little, that you will enjoy Typhoid Mary.
Write to you later!

I was looking at your interests and books, and wondered if you have ever read about Typhoid Mary? I am fascinated by her story. Anthony Bourdain wrote a great book about her, but I wouldn't suggest that you start with it until you familiarize yourself with her story, as it analyzes it in a very different light than is traditional. Just a suggestion! I would love to hear any recommendations you have for me!

If you're interested in manners, do track down Lady Troubridge's Book of Etiquette. She is some kind of real life Lady Bracknell, and I found it very helpful in understanding the characters in, say, the books of Edith Wharton.

Thought I'd continue our discussion here as we're getting way off the original thread topic!
It's interesting that you mention Stanley Cohen. I'm assuming that it's the same Stanley Cohen that wrote 'Folk Devils and Moral Panics'. This is pretty much the key work on moral panics. 'Moral Panics and the Media' by Chas Critcher is interesting as it summarises Cohen and 3 other approaches to moral panics. He also goes through a few (British) case studies. I've also just picked up a copy of 'Moral Panics' by Kenneth Thompson which looks like it does mcuh the same as Critcher.
Thanks for the SCT recommendations. I'll let you know how I get one with them.
