What’s New in the Library

The library has recently acquired a variety of reference
books. Here are some examples:

Grzimek’s Encyclopedia of Mammals

An update to the Grzimek’s Encyclopedia of Animal Life,
this five volume set is considered the standard reference source
for the study of mammals. The articles have been updated with
new research results and excellent maps and diagrams.
Conservation of endangered species is emphasized. An
outstanding feature of the encyclopedia are the over 3,500 superb
photographs.

Women’s Studies Encyclopedia. Vol. 1 Views from the
Sciences. Vol 2 Literature, Art and Learning

These are the first two of a planned three volume work. The
encyclopedia was created as a source of feminist research from a
variety of academic perspectives. Volume One broadly interprets
the sciences including entries on such subjects as medicine,
economics, politics, psychology, as well as the natural sciences.
Volume Two emphasizes women as producers of literature, art
and music. Coverage ranges from national, including an entry on
Canadian writers, to topical, such as entries on lesbian literature
and on gothic fiction.

State of the World: 1991. A Worldwatch Institute Report
on Progress Toward a Sustainable Society

Once again, the Worldwatch Institute has examined a variety
of planetary issues and published its findings in an accessible and
readable volume. This year, instead of focusing on global
concerns only, the editors have also included a chapter devoted
to one geographic area: the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.
Other chapters cover such topics as the “New World Order,”
abortion, forestry, rethinking urban transport and assessing the
military’s war on the environment.

Contemporary Poets. 5th edition

This volume is a comprehensive reference text for
biographical, bibliographical and critical information on living
poets in the English language. The entry for each poet includes a
signed essay. This edition, published in 1991, covers 900 poets
from tle United States, Canada, Great Britain and the English-
speaking Commonwealth.
