Grab a stake, a fistful of garlic, a crucifix and holy water as you enter the dark, blood-curdling world of the original pain in the neck in this ultimate collection of vampire facts, fangs, and fiction! What accounts for the undying fascination people have for vampires? How did encounters with death create centuries-old myths and folklore in virtually every culture in the world? When did the early literary vampires—as pictured by Goethe, Coleridge, Shelly, Polidori, Byron, and Nodier as the personifications of man’s darker side—transform from villains into today’s cultural rebels? Showing how vampire-like creatures organically formed in virtually every part of the world, The Vampire Almanac: The Complete History by renowned religion expert and fearless vampire authority J. Gordon Melton, Ph.D., examines the historic, societal, and psychological role the vampire has played—and continues to play—in understanding death, man’s deepest desires, and human pathologies. It analyzes humanity’s lusts, fears, and longing for power and the forbidden! Today, the vampire serves as a powerful symbol for the darker parts of the human condition, touching on death, immortality, forbidden sexuality, sexual power and surrender, intimacy, alienation, rebellion, violence, and a fascination with the mysterious. The vampire is often portrayed as a symbolic leader advocating an outrageous alternative to the demands of conformity. Vampires can also be tools for scapegoating such as when women are called “vamps” and bosses are described as “bloodsuckers.” Meet all of the villains, anti-heroes, and heroes of myths, legends, books, films, and television series across cultures and today’s pop culture in The Vampire Almanac. It assembles and analyzes hundreds of vampiric characters, people, and creatures, including Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Vlad the Impaler, Edward Cullen and The Twilight Saga, Bram Stoker, Lestat De Lioncourt and The Vampire Chronicles, Lon Chaney, True Blood, Bela Lugosi, Dracula, Dark Shadows, Lilith, Vampire Weekend, Batman, Nosferatu, and so many more. There is a lot to sink your teeth into with this deep exhumation of the undead. Quench your thirst for facts, histories, biographies, definitions, analysis, immortality, and more! This gruesomely thorough book of vampire facts also has a helpful bibliography, an extensive index, and numerous photos, adding to its usefulness.

With Women's Press' 25-year history of inspiring feminist publishing and the advent of a new century, the 1999 Everywoman's Almanac spotlights the most intriguing interviews that have been featured in this original women's datebook. The first Everywoman's Almanac was released 23 years ago and began as a pool of practical information for women on topics ranging from day care to sexism in schools to self-defence to health care. Over the years, the almanac has featured interviews with women on a range of topics and has included the much loved menstrual calendar and updated resource lists for women. Since it's birth in 1976, the almanac has explored sex and sexuality, the politics of women's health, friendship, women in their workplaces -- paid or unpaid, the impact of feminism on women's lives, women in times of economic crisis, reproductive choice, anti-nuclear and anti-poverty movements, and food issues. The Everywoman's Almanac has subverted pervasive stereotypes about disabled women, enriching and afire disabled women's lives; reflected on 500 years of survival and healing after Columbus' "discovery"; captured the dynamism of women artists; honoured the spirit and straggle of women resisting state oppression; explored how physical activities generate a sense of playfulness, of community, and of control over our bodies; acknowledged that liberation for all women means bridging differences; assessed Women's Press' own political contradictions as publishing house struggling with racism; and celebrated the lives of older women as well as the inspiration of young women shaping the future of feminism. Don't miss this year's highlighting of the best of the Everywoman's almanac! --week-at-a-glance format -- menstrual calendar -- resource directory -- address section -- notes section -- interviews, photographs, illustrations -- convenient compact size

The only book of its kind, this engaging volume is based on nearly thirty years of new research in women's studies, spanning three centuries of women's history. Here are suffragists, labor organizers, trumpeters, sex radicals, singers, dancers, sculptors, architects - and especially bad girls and rebels.
