An Ode to the "Good Girl": A girl is many things, one thing she is not, and never can be, is easily defined

Prize: Winner of The Rebecca Coyle Prize 2014, International Association for the Study of Popular Music - Australia/New Zealand 
'In Loading the Silence Linda Kouvaras does a real favour for those seeking to learn about and from the political sonicities of the avant garde of the 1970s and since. That she does so in the context of Australian musical practices makes the stories she tells all the more fascinating for those of us regrettably less familiar with that continent's (sometimes "un-Australian") experimentality. Refreshingly, Kouvaras's critical curiosity embraces musical practices and places: the leaky sounds and voicings of women's bodies, the hospital, the unwatery landscape itself... A convincing critical compendium is the result.' George McKay, University of Salford, UK 
'... Kouvaras has created a reference of vital importance, a book of international significance that is likely to be considered a seminal work in the study of sound art.' Music Forum ’Loading the Silence functions as both an entrance to Australian sound-art for those with no great knowledge of the field, and as a work of cultural musicology, which identifies the importance of various, often contradictory, strains of postmodernism within this body of work, theorising a close link between sound-art and the altermodern - that is, the post-postmodern. It also acts as a fine introduction to the key concepts and approaches behind sound-art in general’. Context
'This is an excellent reference book with a huge bibliography... giving readers the opportunity to probe deeply into Australia’s seminal media art scenes.'- Aurelio Cianciotta, Neural

From the reviews:“It is targeted at both adult and pediatric endocrinologists who work primarily in the clinical arena. … This is a one of a kind book that describes everything about the most recent concepts in GH and the GH axis. It covers the topics at a depth that is appropriate for clinicians, and is helpful in providing the basics and in guiding the day-to-day practice of administering GH to patients.” (Elizabeth Eames Littlejohn, Doody’s Book Reviews, December, 2011)

’Today’s business leaders - current and future - face huge volumes of data, changing information formats and expanding channels of communication networks. With such clients, business school libraries are in the vanguard of institutional thinking, policy and application of technology. This book describes how the world’s leading business school librarians are facing up to this challenge and reveals lessons to libraries of all kinds.’ Helen Edwards, SKOLKOVO Moscow School of Management, Russia  ’A valuable international reflection on today’s business library world from highly recognized professionals. I recommend this book to all librarians worldwide facing the exciting challenge of serving the various players of a business academic community.’ Pascale Pajona, Head Librarian at INSEAD  ’This collection of lively and accessible reflections provides welcome confirmation of the rightness of our business library’s recent initiatives (e.g. career coaching, space re-purposing, and entrepreneurs’ services). More importantly, these thought pieces suggest roles and services that my colleagues and I might offer our institution, our partners, and our users as SIBL re-invents itself.’   Kristin McDonough, New York Public Library - Science, Industry, and Business Library (SIBL), USA  ’Delete ’Business School’ from the title of this book and you have what is essentially an invaluable toolkit for 21 century librarianship. The book explores contemporaneous issues of relevance to any library ...’ Libfocus  ’This volume deserves wide readership but will be especially useful to academic and special librarians.’ CILIP Update  'The librarians writing in Business School Libraries present thoughtful reflection and distinctive solutions to the challenges faced by their institutions which in turn offer valuable insight not just to business school libraries but also to academic and special libraries of all types.'

Praise for The Last AnimalA Finalist for the 2014 Orion Book Award for Fiction"Human predicaments are complemented by the wild natural world in this excellent debut story collection from Chicago&#8211;based author Geni. The characters and events here are unusual and far&#8211;reaching, but Geni's careful craftsmanship renders them immediate and real. Each story is threaded with page&#8211;turning, deeply felt tension, yet each has also been planted with a seed of magic in varying stages of growth.. An entrancing collection, recommended even for those who generally shy away from short story." &#8212;Kirkus Reviews (Starred)"The short stories in Geni's debut collection beautifully reveal how exposure to nature helps people in emotional pain to recover. In each well&#8211;researched piece, Geni vividly depicts the setting, as well as the animals or plants that play important roles&#133;All ten stories here are wonderfully written, with precise language and a true compassion for the hardships of the characters. Highly recommended." &#8212;Library Journal (Starred)"The Last Animal by Abby Geni is the rare short story collection that's as coherent and powerful as a well&#8211;constructed novel. It begs to be read straight through rather than sampled casually. Although each story stands on its own, as an ensemble, their brilliance becomes apparent&#133; Geni's prose is clean and slightly dreamlike, in an intimate voice that lingers occasionally on glimmering sensory details&#133;Reading The Last Animal is like glimpsing a distant, hauntingly familiar shore illuminated by the rotating beam of a lighthouse." &#8212;Shelf Awareness, (Starred)"Geni's first book puts us on notice. Here is a fiction writer who perceives the many forms of consciousness at work on the planet. In shrewd, sure stories, Geni registers the life force of trees, deciphers the confusions of human emotions, and considers the mystery of our interactions with other species&#133; Endangerment, disappearance, isolation, love adrift, the attempt to hold on to and define life&#8212;Geni illuminates each condition and effort with keen realism and empathetic imagination to wondrously disquieting effect." &#8212; Booklist"I have known for a while that Abby Geni is a brilliant writer, and I'm happy that at last the world will find out. These are sharp, incisive, thoughtful, and utterly original stories, and I recommend this book with all my heart!" &#8212;Dan Chaon, National Book Award Finalist, author of Stay Awake and Await Your Reply"Combining the cool precision of a naturalist with the heart of a born storyteller, Abby Geni catalogues an astounding array of characters whose lives have been undone by the mysterious departures and disappearances of loved ones. Instead of solving these mysteries, she plunges us deeper into them, and the results, like so many of the creatures in this book, are strange, haunting, and beautiful." &#8212;Jim Gavin, Middle Men"Abby Geni is a sharpshooter, a tamer of wild animals, a clear&#8211;eyed wonder. The Last Animal  is a phenomenally ambitious debut collection and announces Geni's many talents to the world with the volume of a herd of stampeding elephants. I loved this book, and you will, too." &#8212;Emma Straub"Abby Geni's worlds exist at the boundary between desolation and abundance, civilization and nature, love and loneliness. It is as if everything and everyone in these beautiful stories is at least half wild." &#8212;Ramona Ausubel, A Guide to Being Born "The Last Animal is a work of rare insight and beauty. Abby Geni's vision is expansive and haunting and wholly new, and she illuminates her characters' loneliness and longing in a way that will break your heart. This book is about love and animals and loss and the whole world; you must read it."  &#8212;Karen E. Bender, A Town of Empty Rooms  "It's rare to find a single story that's both highly imaginative while also unflinchingly earnest, thrilling while also deeply moving and wise. With The Last Animal we get ten stories that fulfill this ambitious criteria, and an amazing collection that announces Abby Geni as a powerful and original new voice in fiction." &#8212;Alan Heathcock, Volt
