This work is a general and synthetic study of the post-industrial era and its implications for library and information services in the United States.

Amphibians are the extant descendants of the first vertebrate class to successfully colonize terrestrial environments; hence they occupy a unique position between fish and reptiles.

This has led to a suite of physiological, morphological and behavioural adaptations that have allowed a successful terrestrial existence in spite of this apparently spendthrift water retention strategy.Ecological and E

From the shelves of mainstream bookstores and the pages of teen magazines, to popular films and television series, contemporary culture at the turn of the 21st century has been fascinated with teenage identity and the presence of magic and the occult. Alongside this profusion of products and representations, a global network of teenage Witches has emerged on the margins of adult Neo-Pagan Witchcraft communities, identifying themselves through various spiritual practices, consumption patterns and lifestyle choices. "New Generation Witches" is the first published anthology to investigate the rec
