A list of these topics is found in the introduction. Sixty-five scientific or sf jargon terms are defined. Science fiction in 27 different countries is covered in separate articles, which helps to balance the collection's strong U.S.-U.K. bias. This focus is probably inevitable given the anglophone domination of the field, but it has its drawbacks. The Japanese film industry, which "owned" the monster-movie market for years, is relegated to a few paragraphs in the article </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Japan</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;

Dr. Grordbort has released his directory of scientific splendor.

The VanderMeers (</span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">The New Weird</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">) have assembled another outstanding theme anthology, this one featuring stories set in alternate Victorian eras. Michael Moorcock, the godfather of steampunk, is represented by an excerpt from his classic novel </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">The Warlord of the Air</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">. In Lord Kelvin's Machine, a fine tale from prolific steampunk author James P. Blaylock, mad scientists plot to throw the Earth into the path of a passing comet, declaring that science will save us this time, gentlemen, if it doesn't kill us first. Michael Chabon's vivid and moving The Martian Agent, a Planetary Romance recounts the lives of two young brothers in the aftermath of George Custer's mutiny against Queen Victoria, while historical fantasist Mary Gentle describes a classic struggle between safety and progress in A Sun in the Attic. This is a superb introduction to one of the most popular and inventive subgenres in science fiction.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">***********************************************************************<br /></span></div></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLDIyIm9rnD7gTUFbN2C4QeSSF0XuwiEFGD1wki9L8caeS1CyYw9f9GlAvcmmc87XB2auv577b7b46KOZKSWEWRx25V7wIqCGaLi71cBXAg_yQBvfU_tFE7HLLdzZoTAQtCWSfFmn2fA_0/s1600-h/51HFCWKB40L._SL500_AA240_.jpg"><img style="text-align: left;float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 240px; " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLDIyIm9rnD7gTUFbN2C4QeSSF0XuwiEFGD1wki9L8caeS1CyYw9f9GlAvcmmc87XB2auv577b7b46KOZKSWEWRx25V7wIqCGaLi71cBXAg_yQBvfU_tFE7HLLdzZoTAQtCWSfFmn2fA_0/s320/51HFCWKB40L._SL500_AA240_.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334325331962425458" /></a><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" font-weight: bold; font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Title: </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Fantastic Victoriana</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" font-weight: bold; font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">By: </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Jess Nevins</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:verdana;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Type:</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"> Encyclopedia</span></span></b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:verdana;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Hardcover:</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"> 1200 pages</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" font-weight: bold; white-space: pre;font-family:'Lucida Grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" font-weight: normal; white-space: normal; font-family:verdana;"><ul style="list-style-type: none; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><li style="margin-top: 0.5em; margin-right: 0em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0em; "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Publisher:</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"> MonkeyBrain Books (December 25, 2005)</span></li><li style="margin-top: 0.5em; margin-right: 0em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0em; "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Language:</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"> English</span></li><li style="margin-top: 0.5em; margin-right: 0em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0em; "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">ISBN-10:</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"> 1932265155</span></li><li style="margin-top: 0.5em; margin-right: 0em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0em; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Reader's Annotation (Via Amazon): </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">T</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">his enormous volume is the first comprehensive encyclopedia of fantastic literature of the nineteenth century. From detective fiction to historical novels, from well-known authors like Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, to Russian newspaper serials and Chinese martial arts novels, THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF FANTASTIC VICTORIANA is a truly exhaustive look at every aspect of fantastic literature in the days of Queen Victoria. Readers of science fiction and fantasy will be surprised to find here the roots of genres thought to be strictly contemporary, and students of literature will be amazed at the breadth and scope of writings produced in the Victoriana era. This is an invaluable reference, and truly one-of-a-kind. </span></span></span></span></li></ul><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">***********************************************************************</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><br /></span></span></div></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" font-weight: bold; white-space: pre;font-family:'Lucida Grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" font-weight: bold; white-space: pre;font-family:'Lucida Grande';"><br /></span></div></div></div>Cocohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03873631177229267984noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7353233823920761856.post-10991755637546915172009-04-24T12:02:00.003-07:002009-05-10T16:48:52.411-07:00Databases<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYuF-cszquhW0vJ__aNT_VOYXRDUw2OGWGjvFCEf-30Wbfg0y1x-Nk3oaYbY1AoABuqL5-RALIYzbWlLjzhhms05RaPwUeRRhBRfyZtfHkumgjRCaafmD-tig96wVeYUCHc3Nlx9KEJVlK/s1600-h/Picture+3.png"></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 24px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">Databases to use to look for </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">Steampunk</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">Literature:</span></span></span><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYuF-cszquhW0vJ__aNT_VOYXRDUw2OGWGjvFCEf-30Wbfg0y1x-Nk3oaYbY1AoABuqL5-RALIYzbWlLjzhhms05RaPwUeRRhBRfyZtfHkumgjRCaafmD-tig96wVeYUCHc3Nlx9KEJVlK/s320/Picture+3.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334321775789731970" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 106px; " /></span></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Litfinder & other Literature Databases</span>: Accessing Litfinder is easy to do.

Because of the complexity and obscurity of this somewhat new sub-culture searching is difficult. Often teens get wind of the movement or read a title that grabs them, but then they are left confused. When they reach out to librarians and booksellers they are often a step beyond them. Librarians are unsure of how to best direct patrons in this field and end up doing a general search and only turning up a few common anthologies tagged with "Steampunk" because it is in the title. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">N</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">otes about search terms (words):</span></span></span></div><div><ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" "><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:arial;"><em style="font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; text-decoration: inherit; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">The word </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">"Steampunk</span></em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">” </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">was not invented until 1987. </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><br /></span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">When searching the </span><a href="http://www.eric.ed.gov:80/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">ERIC </span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">thesaurus no such word can be pulled up.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><br /></span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">When searching the </span><a href="http://www.loc.gov/fedsearch/index.tkl?cclquery=steampunk+&targets%5B%5D=webpages&targets%5B%5D=ammem&targets%5B%5D=catalog&targets%5B%5D=ppoc&targets%5B%5D=thomas&targets%5B%5D=recommend&Search=Search"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Library of Congress</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"> only two titles can be brought up.

Certainly the industrious nature of the steam-powered engine in the 19th Century can serve as a subtle metaphor for this pathfinder & technology as a whole. While really great now, eventually it will be useless when something better comes along. At that point we can look to it for aesthetics. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Is everything about Steampunk in art on this pathfinder?</span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Unfortunately no.
