Proposed chapters

Here follows the porposed chapters of the publication. Eesearch should now take place by looking at our designated sections in the light of the chapter headings written below in bold.

It has been decided that the publication will feature two voices. firstly that of an Editorial voice focusing on the facts/historical information (though it will not be boring, think more along the lines of the "things that make people gay" post). and a personal voice which will rely on primary research talking to people about the fads and asking them the sort of questions which are written below in quotation marks.
