The editors of Neurosurgical Classics II selected 58 neurosurgical works from around the world. Organized into 31 groups, each was selected based on their present or historical importance. Each work is preceded by an introduction containing pertinent historical background material and references. Each of the 58 works was reproduced as closely as possible to the original format.

Book six of the Ethnographer’s Toolkit series discusses the special requirements that doing ethnographic research imposes on its practitioners. The authors first describe how the work of ethnographers is inextricably tied to type of person the ethnographer is, the particular social and cultural context of the research site, and the tasks and responsibilities that ethnographers assume in the field. The book then examines how ethnographers assemble research teams, establish partnerships with individuals and institutions in the field, and work collaboratively with a wide range of people and

On college campuses and in high school halls, being white means being boring. Since whiteness is the mainstream, white kids lack a cultural identity that’s exotic or worth flaunting. To remedy this, countless white youths across the country are now joining more outré subcultures like the Black- and Puerto Rican–dominated hip-hop scene, the glamorously morose goth community, or an evangelical Christian organization whose members reject campus partying. Amy C. Wilkins’s intimate ethnography of these three subcultures reveals a complex tug-of-war between the demands of race, class, and gen
