Medical, Educational, Death, Biology, Weird, Textbook; Paperback 180 Pages (1994)
Advances in imaging technology have led to the frequent use of computed tomography and the resultant need to interpret its results with accuracy. Essential to this is a conceptual understanding of cross-sectional anatomy and an appreciation of the spatial relationships of tissues and organs within the body. Learning cross-sectional anatomy now begins in medical school and it will doubtless eventually become as familiar as its more traditional counterparts. It is in this context that this book has been produced. Matching full-colour body sections with corresponding CT scans and explanatory diagrams, it provides a portable and succinct guide to the whole body in section form and a resource for the radiologist, radiographer, neurologist, surgeon and internal-medicine specialist.
Japan, Noise, Experimental, Music., Harsh, Electronic, Underground; Paperback - David Novak 304 pages (New)
Noise, an underground music made through an amalgam of feedback, distortion, and electronic effects, first emerged as a genre in the 1980s, circulating on cassette tapes traded between fans in Japan, Europe, and North America. With its cultivated obscurity, ear-shattering sound, and over-the-top performances, Noise has captured the imagination of a small but passionate transnational audience.
Electronic Music, Experimental, Musique Concrete; Paperback (2013 reprint)
Frederick Charles Judd (1914-1992) was a pioneer of British electronic music, composing and recording at his home studio.
'Electronic Music and Musique Concrète', originally published in 1961, was one of the earliest books to introduce to a popular audience a form of music then in its infancy. From the late 1950s into the 1960s Judd toured Britain giving lectures and demonstrations of techniques and equipment, often in the company of his friend and fellow innovator Daphne Oram.

Punk in NYC’s Lower East Side 1981-1991 by Ben Nadler
Paperback, 48 pages, 2016 - Independent Release Pressing.
Much has been written about the glamorous and short-lived New York City punk rock scene of the late 1970s. Less has been written about the second-wave punk scene that followed in the 1980s. Unlike the earlier scene, the ‘80s punk scene took place largely outside of the established downtown clubs, in the streets and squats of the Lower East Side. Punk in NYC’s Lower East Side, 1981-1991, the first installment in the Scene History Series offers a glimpse into this important cultural moment, which has had such a lasting impact on American subcultures, from Hardcore, to Skinhead, to, most crucially, Anarcho-Punk. Drawing on both archival documents and original interviews, this zine explores the music of the era’s bands, including Bad Brains, Cro-Mags, Agnostic Front, False Prophets, Urgent Fury, No Thanks, and Reagan Youth. At the same time, the scene is situated within the broader social context, from the election of Ronald Reagan to the Tompkins Square Riots. Woven throughout is the tragic story of New York City’s most legendary anarcho-punk, Reagan Youth’s Dave Insurgent. Insurgent came from a Jewish family of holocaust survivors whose history is rarely discussed.

Electronic, Synth, Post Punk, Darkwave, Experimental; CD (Used)
Robert Rental And Thomas Leer were both born in Port Glasgow. They moved to London in the late 1970's and became deeply involved in the post punk scene. Rental's Paralysis and Leer's Private Plane along with The Normal's Warm Leatherette/T.V.O.D. are three key electronic post punk singles, all released close to each other and all still sounding as fresh as they did on release. Rental and Leer then collaborated, releasing the outstanding album, The Bridge on Throbbing Gristle's Industrial Records in 1979. This is a hugely important album as its influence spreads far and wide from early Depeche Mode and New Order to industrial electronica. The Bridge is perhaps overlooked in favour of early Cabaret Voltaire or Human League in any discussion about the early U.K electronic scene and that is grossly unfair.
Over the last almost three decades, a bizarre and violent musical subculture called Black Metal emerged in Norway. In the early-mid 1990s, members of this extremist underground committed murder, burned down medieval wooden churches, and desecrated graveyards. What started as juvenile frenzy came to symbolize the start of a war against Christianity, a return to the worship of the ancient Norse gods, and the complete rejection of mainstream society.
American documentary photographer Peter Beste has spent the last eight years working in the milieu of this insulated and secretive community. Beste’s access and insight has been absolutely without precedent, resulting in an amazing photographic journey.
