During the past three decades, heavy metal music has gone global, becoming a potent source of meaning and identity for fans around the world. In Metal Rules the Globe, ethnographers and some of the foremost authorities in the burgeoning field of metal studies analyze this dramatic expansion of heavy metal music and culture. They take readers inside metal scenes in Brazil, Canada, China, Easter Island, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Malaysia, Malta, Nepal, Norway, Singapore, Slovenia, and the United States, describing how the sounds of heavy metal and the meanings that metalheads attribute to them vary across cultures. The contributors explore the dynamics of masculinity, class, race, and ethnicity in metal scenes; the place of metal in the music industry; and the ways that disenfranchised youth use metal to negotiate modernity and social change. They reveal heavy metal fans as just as likely to criticize the consumerism, class divisiveness, and uneven development of globalization as they are to reject traditional cultural norms. Crucially, they never lose sight of the sense of community and sonic pleasure to be experienced in the distorted, pounding sounds of local metal scenes.

A great watch
Color: Black/Gray
It's a Timex! Inexpensive, accurate and rugged. I use it as a watch. I play golf and did not want a watch with a stem on the right side. This is the third Ironman I have owned and so far all the batteries have outlasted the straps. The strap on this one appears to be a bit more rugged than the last one so hopefully it will last at least 5 years. Seven dollars per year is a pretty good deal for this accurate and rugged watch.

Beautiful Simplicity
Color: Black/Gray/Black
I really love the watch. The shape of the hands is simple elegance. The white hands on the off-white face really pop in person.

Wears Big
Color: Black/Black/Blue
Watch wears a lot large than it stated size. Feels more around the 45mm dimension on the wrist.
