White (with C. Howard Hopkins) offers a somewhat interesting and in-depth view of the social gospel movement, or about a glance as can be managed in a book of this size. The authors do a very good job of utilizing original sources, bringing in writings of social gospel advocates themselves to explain what they stood for and why. This time of our history, when religious principles were applied to social teachings, was an interesting one and one worthy of study. This work, while far from complete or perfect, is a decent start.

Then again, even if you are a librarian, don't bother.

I shouldn't say these types of things about this book as I studied under one of its authors in graduate school, but let's be perfectly honest for a minute... it's boring!

Actually, "For Information Specialists" is not that bad. Bates, White, and Wilson make some interesting hypotheses about the way people gather information, so the work has merit, it's just that the writing style is lacking and the content, dry as a bone.

The authoris a publisher who lives in the heart of the Sunshine Coast. Well-written travel and history of the area, with excellent if unimaginative selection of photographs.

This is a very short pamphlet and not a book. It looks like it was mostly a public service/public information piece put out by Kappa Delta Pi, an honor society in education. It is really an outrage that Amazon.com sells it, and they charged over $4 for shipping an item that could easily have been placed in a #10 envelope and mailed with a single stamp. I plan to ask for a refund.
