It has been reviled, dismissed, attacked, and occasionally been the subject of Congressional hearings, but still, the genre of music known as heavy metal maintains not only its market share in the recording and downloading industry, but also as a cultural force that has united millions of young and old fans across the globe. Characterized by blaring distorted guitars, drum solos, and dramatic vibrato, the heavy metal movement headbanged its way to the popular culture landscape with bands like Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath the 1970s. Motley Crue and Metallica made metal a music phenomenon in the 1980s. Heavy metal continues to evolve today with bands like Mastodon and Lamb of God. Providing an extensive overview of the music, fashion, films, and philosophies behind the movement, this inclusive encyclopedia chronicles the history and development of heavy metal, including sub-movements such as death metal, speed metal, grindcore, and hair metal. Essential and highly entertaining reading for high school and undergraduate courses in popular music studies, communications, media studies, and cultural studies, the Encyclopedia of Heavy Metal Music and Culture offers a guide to the ultimate underground music, exploring its rich cultural diversity, resilience, and adaptability. Entries for musicians include a discography for those wanting to start or develop their music collections.

A wild Australian adventure begins with the kidnapping of two boys in the action novel Will’s Way: On Lake Coothella. Tim and Nick are abducted from their lakeside camp-over on New Year’s Eve. The abductors are criminals whose revengeful intent is to make the boys disappear into the criminal underground in payment for an old insult dealt deep in the past. What the criminals don’t realise is the resourcefulness and determination, not only of the boys themselves but of their family and friends, who rally their separate rescue expeditions. Will, Tiff, and Matt immediately begin the pursuit in an old inflatable, while Billy and Jamie borrow a boat to help free their friends. Then Spiro and the mysterious Maria join the action. What results is a long and dangerous chase in a variety of boats, at night, over the lake displaying bravery and resourcefulness. This is followed by a determined pursuit through a pine forest, culminating in the final confrontation between the evil mastermind and Will Peters’ mother.
