Introduction to Crystallography
This book invites you on a systematic tour through the fascinating world of crystals and their symmetries. The reader will gain an understanding of the symmetry of external crystal forms (morphology) and become acquainted with all the symmetry elements needed to classify and describe crystal structures. The book explains the context in a very vivid, non-mathematical way and captivates with clear, high-quality illustrations. Online materials accompany the book; including 3D models the reader can explore on screen to aid in the spatial understanding of the structure of crystals. After reading the book, you will not only know what a space group is and how to read the International Tables for Crystallography, but will also be able to interpret crystallographic specifications in specialist publications. If questions remain, you also have the opportunity to ask the author on the book's website.
Solid-State Chemistry
This book invites you on a tour through the most relevant topics of solid-state chemistry. It provides an up-to-date overview about fascinating structures of inorganic matter and new research developments. The reader will also gain crucial insights into many aspects of material science, from ceramics to superconductors. One chapter is specifically dedicated to the most rapidly evolving field of material science: metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The book contains a chapter which is often neglected in others due to its complexity, the intermetallic phases. A concise but very didactic introduction to crystallographic specifications ensures that the reader will gain a deeper understanding of the crystal structures presented in the book. The book places special emphasis on the graphical illustrations which were specifically designed to promote real insights into the structural features. Instead of having to decipher hard to distinguish graphics the reader has an eye-opening experience. A further added value is that many references to the original research publications are given which enables easy follow-up for more detailed study.

Intellectual Freedom and Censorship
'Succinct annotations...clear research strategies... Surprisingly for a bibliography, the book as a whole gives a very clear picture of the intellectual freedom issues that provide Americans...Its use in library school curricula would be of great benefit to our profession.'--JOYS
Chronology of American Popular Music, 1900-2000
The field of Popular Music Studies is growing, but still lacks some basic reference materials. The Chronology of American Popular Music, 1899-2000 fills this gap by offering a comprehensive overview of the field. It will be a must-own for libraries and individuals interested in this growing field of research.
Rock Music in American Popular Culture III
Rock Music in American Popular Culture III: More Rock ’n’Roll Resources explores the fascinating world of rock music and examines how this medium functions as an expression of cultural and social identity. This nostalgic guide explores the meanings and messages behind some of the most popular rock ’n’roll songs that captured the American spirit, mirrored society, and reflected events in our history. Arranged by themes, Rock Music in American Popular Culture III examines a variety of social and cultural topics with related songs, such as: sex and censorship--“Only the Good Die Young” by Billy Joel and “Night Moves” by Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band holiday songs--“Rock...
Records Everyone Should Own, Or At Least Listen To
This volume identifies more than 50 recordings issued in the 20th century - including cylinders, 78s, 45 rpm singles, and album (vinyl and CDs) - and discusses why they deserve to be heard. Includes artist bios. I don't presume to have better taste than the rank and file enthusiast, but I'm sharing my thoughts here because I've always been fascinated by what others think about musical works, whether recordings I'm considering for purchase, or things I've loved for some time. I'm guessing many of you feel the same way, especially if you've gotten to this point in my narrative. At least online and brick-and-mortar retailers seem to base many of their marketing strategies on this presumption. If you end up investigating one of the recordings I've noted here, then the book's major objective has been achieved.
Encyclopedia of 20th Century Popular Music -
This encyclopedia is the first installment of a projected work which aims at comprehensively surveying the artists, record labels, genres, trends, industry figures, and other key concepts within the popular music field. The emphasis here is upon sound recordings as opposed to live performing, although live performing, biographical and historical events are also noted. Key single and album releases are noted as they pertain to each respective entry.
WOKY Weekly Music Charts
WOKY was the leading Top 40 AM radio outlet in the Milwaukee market during the 1960s. This volume reproduces many of the station's weekly pop music surveys for a five-year period from the middle of the decade. Also includes an essay covering the station's significance in that era. Like the other radio charts titles, my goal was to provide a convenient chronological compilation of weekly surveys with corrections of the considerable errors found in both the original sources and in translation to online sites. These radio charts - which exist in the public domain - can be found in a multitude of sources, including original published sheets distributed via retail outlets, mail inquiries, etc., notation of on-air broadcasts, back issues of area newspapers (where stations are located) and music trade periodicals, specialized reference books, and websites interested in historical documentation, most notably, Oldiesloon, musicradio77, and ARSA. I employed multiple sources in the compilation of each radio chart volume in order to provide the most accurate data possible.
