If you use UNIX, you probably use csh to type commands, even if you've never heard it. It's the standard shell (command line) on most UNIX systems. tcsh is an enhanced version of csh that's freely available and highly recommended. Using csh & tcsh describes how to use these shells interactively from the beginning. More importantly, it shows how to get more work done with less typing. Even if you've used UNIX for years, the techniques described in this book can make you more efficient. You'll learn how to make your prompt tell you where you are (no more pwd), use what you've typed before (history), type long command lines with very few keystrokes (command and filename completion), remind yourself of filenames when in the middle of typing a command, edit a botched command instead of retyping it, and let the computer correct command spelling for you. This book does not cover programming or script writing in csh or tsch because these tasks are better done with a different shell, such as sh (the Bourne shell) or a language like Perl.

This book explores the contribution of magazines to the social construction of female adolescence during a historical period of rapid change, and locates the role of magazines in the lives of girls at this time. In addressing this theme, the book examines the changing social, economic, political and cultural conditions which shaped, and continue to influence, the experience of girlhood. The author discusses key concepts such as adolescence and 'girlhood', and engages with theories concerning the interpretation of gender relations, cultural production, meaning and reading. The chapters use life-course events and transitions such as schooling, work, entrance into sexual relationships, marriage and motherhood as their main themes. In exploring these themes, the author considers the importance attached to age and social class for the form and content of the magazines. The book also unravels the negotiation of key factors which contributed to decisions about what were legitimate concerns for different groups of girls, for example, publisher's objectives and culture; reader interests; and ideologies of femininity. Such concerns remain a feature of media issues today.
