The Big Book of Hair Metal

The Illustrated Oral History of Heavy Metal's Debauched Decade

By: Martin Popoff

Music journalist Martin Popoff celebrates a decade of heavy metal debauchery in this illustrated history of Hair Metal bands. In the 1980s, heavy metal went mainstream. The dark themes and brain-busting riffage of bands like Black Sabbath and Deep Purple suddenly fell out of favor—replaced by a new legion of metalheads whose themes of girls, partying, girls, drugs, and girls were presented amid shredding solos and power ballads and who were somehow more acceptable to the masses. In this ultimate guide to the subgenre, acclaimed heavy-metal journalist Martin Popoff examines hair metal in an all-encompassing oral history jacked up by a kaleidoscope of outrageous and previously unpublished quotes, anecdotes, photos, and memorabilia. The Big Book of Hair Metal features the observations of dozens of musicians, producers, promoters, label execs, and hangers-on in examining hair metal’s rise and fall as well as all the bands that kept Aqua Net in business through the Reagan recession: Twisted Sister, Bon Jovi, Poison, Mötley Crüe, Ratt, Warrant, Great White, Whitesnake, Cinderella, Vixen, Skid Row, L.A. Guns, Guns N’ Roses, and dozens more. In crafting a narrative of hair metal, Popoff also examines the factors that contributed to the movement’s rise (including MTV, Reagan’s “morning in America,” and a general move toward prudish morals); the bands that inspired it (the Sweet, New York Dolls, Alice Cooper, and KISS, for a start); and the scenes that nurtured it (the Sunset Strip, anyone?). The ride finally ended circa 1991, when hair metal was replaced by grunge, but what a ride it was. Here it is in all of its primped-up glory.

Arizona in Your Future

The Complete Relocation Guide for Job-Seekers, Retirees and Snowbirds

By: Don W. Martin,Betty Woo Martin

This third edition of Arizona in Your Future is a comprehensive relocation guide to one of the fastest-growing states in America and the second most populous state in the West, after California. Completely revised and updated, with every listing rechecked for accuracy, it offers detailed information for relocating families, retirees, and "snowbirds," or seasonal winter visitors. Written by award-winning guidebook writers Don and Betty Martin, it covers essentials such as climate, population trends, job opportunities, schooling, living costs, taxes, economic trends, medical facilities, and state laws -- just about everything the prospective newcomer needs to know. The book divides Arizona into three components: the state, the communities, and the attractions. The state section covers tax rates, automotive laws, and more, with chapters on schools and colleges, where to find jobs, and retirement communities. The communities section lists Arizona's 54 largest cities and towns, with locator maps and specific details on living and housing costs, hospitals and clinics, shopping, community services, and more. The attractions section is a mini travel guide listing the state's visitor highlights and recreational facilities area by area. "Part employment guide, part Arizona directory, part welcome wagon...an excellent introduction." -- Travel Reference Library

EBOOK: Cultures for Performance in Health Care

By: Russell Mannion,Huw Davies,Martin Marshall

·What is organizational culture? ·Do organizational cultures influence the performance of health care organizations? ·Are organizational cultures capable of being managed to beneficial effect? Recent legislation in the United Kingdom has led to significant reforms within the health care system. Clinical quality, safety and performance have been the focus for improvement alongside systematic changes involving decision-making power being devolved to patients and frontline staff. However, as this book shows, improvements in performance are intrinsically linked to cultural changes within health care settings. Using theories from a wide range of disciplines including economics, management and organization studies, policy studies and the health sciences, this book sets out definitions of cultures and performance, in particular the specific characteristics that help or hinder performance. Case studies of high and low performing hospital trusts and primary care trusts are used to explore the links between culture and performance. These studies provide examples of strategies to create beneficial, high-performance cultures that may be used by other managers. Moreover, implications for future policies and research are outlined. Cultures for Performance in Health Care is essential reading for those with an interest in health care management and health policy including students, researchers, policy makers and health care professionals.

Molecular Structure and Biological Activity of Steroids

By: Martin Bohl

Molecular Structure and Biological Activity of Steroids focuses on the indentification of steroid structural features that control particular biological effects. Steroid geometry plays a critical role in steroid activity; therefore, the results of X-ray crystallographic, NMR spectroscopic, and theoretical studies on structure-activity relationships form an integral part of the book. Well-established observations and proposed models are presented, summarizing knowledge of molecular features (e.g., steroid backbone structures, side-chain constitutions, substitution sites, configurations, hydrogen-bonding patterns) that can affect steroid action. The book also provides overviews about recent progress in various frontier fields of steroid research, including such areas as sex steroids, glucocorticoids, aromatase inhibitors, vitamin D metabolites, brassinosteroids, neuromuscular blocking agents, and cardiotonic steroids. Molecular Structure and Biological Activity of Steroids is a "must-have" resource for biochemists, pharmacologists, endocrinologists, biophysicists, and others actively involved in steroid research.
