Developing and Maintaining Practical Archives
Since its original publication Hunter's manual has been "not only a rich and ready reference tool but also a practical resource for solving problems" (Catholic Library World), and no text has served as a better overview of the field of archives. Newly revised and updated to more thoroughly address our increasingly digital world, including integration of digital records and audiovisual records into each chapter, it remains the clearest and most comprehensive guide to the discipline. Former editor of American Archivist, the journal of the Society of American Archivists (SAA), Hunter covers such keystone topics as a history of archives, including the roles of historical societies and local hist...
Genius in the Shadows
Well-known names such as Albert Einstein, Enrico Fermi, J. Robert Oppenheimer, and Edward Teller are usually those that surround the creation of the atom bomb. One name that is rarely mentioned is Leo Szilard, known in scientific circles as “father of the atom bomb.” The man who first developed the idea of harnessing energy from nuclear chain reactions, he is curiously buried with barely a trace in the history of this well-known and controversial topic. Born in Hungary and educated in Berlin, he escaped Hitler’s Germany in 1933 and that first year developed his concept of nuclear chain reactions. In order to prevent Nazi scientists from stealing his ideas, he kept his theories secret, ...
Post-Romantic Predicament
The first collection of texts by Paul de Man to follow the posthumous Aesthetic Ideology (1996), the title refers to de Man's Harvard thesis of the late 1950s, from which the long section on Mallarme is reproduced. Also included are texts by de Man on Ste
Five Irish Writers
Liam O'Flaherty, Kate O'Brien, Elizabeth Bowen, Sean O'Faolain, and Frank O'Connor--as Hildebidle demonstrates, all five authors saw in the Ireland that grew out of the events of 1916-1923 a nation that stifled the creative energies and bright hopes of its youth, and their fiction can be seen as responding in diverse ways to that reality.
Archival Advantage
This essay argues for involving archivists in the management of born-digital library materials (i.e., created and managed in digital form).
Quartet
Dr. Stanley Highstreet returns in four new exciting mysteries. In Murder at the Mystery Grove, shy physicist and paranormal investigator Dr. Stanley Highstreet and his assistant PI Zetrower Hill endeavor to unravel the secrets behind the strange gravitational anomalies of the famous tourist attraction. Two seemingly unrelated deaths turn out to be more than just freak accidents. Locked room mysteries are not supposed to happen in real life. Dr. Highstreet finds himself trying to solve one in Mostly Ravens. Was Rachel Fournier's death a suicide or a clever murder? A mysterious and possibly dangerous cult called “The Tribe” has lost its leader in Death of a Guru. Dr. Highstreet receives a desperate email from an old friend. The group might be caught in the fevered millennium fears of Guru Dimitri Sokol. The famed island penitentiary has once again become a prison after a park ranger has been found strangled in Saints of Alcatraz. Dr. Highstreet and Zet Hill are on the island simply to investigate a psychic who has been giving unofficial “ghost tours.” To get off the island in time to make a speaking engagement, Dr. Highstreet reluctantly agrees to solve the murder case.

Describing Archival Materials
Here is an informative new volume that celebrates the increasing use and influence of the MARC format for Archives and Manuscript Control (AMC). As the format and its companion, the online archival catalog, gain acceptance among archivists, several major issues evolve, including the adoption and adaptation of standards for archival control data and the acceptance of archival control techniques for use in library collections. This is an important volume for library cataloguers, who in order to make use of the archival control techniques embodied in the AMC format must be familiar with basic techniques of archival collections management, and archivists, who might need basic instruction in rele...
