A pivotal book for people who work with/for children in public libraries. Walter states in her introduction that this is not "a how-to-do-it" title, but rather a "how-to-think-about-it" guide. She begins with a comprehensive overview of the history of library services to children, assesses the current state of the profession, and proceeds to lay out a far-reaching vision for the future. She examines changing routines, educational practices, and social patterns that have had a profound effect on our communities and from these trends drafts a slate of suggested goals for those of us who strive to serve children. She also examines the impact of digital technology and looks at the future of the book. This volume doesn't have any answers for how to change the library to meet changing needs, but it does provide a platform of ideas from which we can draw as we consider where we must go. Competencies for librarians serving children in public libraries and a lengthy list of references are appended. This is an excellent resource to inspire the minds of everyone interested in library services to young people in the 21st century.
Feminist thinking constitutes a lively, oppositional and energizing force at the centre of the theatre academy. Although a relatively new field of study, its dynamic impact is changing the way in which theatre is taught and practised. An Introduction to Feminism and Theatre is an accessible and intelligent overview of feminist theory, plays, practitioners and practice, all of which are changing the perception of theatre as a whole.
Legal semiotics emphasizes the contingency and fluidity of legal concepts and stresses the existence of overlapping, competing and coexisting legal discourses. In response to new problems, changing power structures, changing societal norms and new faces of injustice established doctrines are reconsidered, reformulated and partly replaced by competing doctrines and hypotheses. Given the relative indeterminacy of law, it is no surprise that the problem of interpretation has always been one of the focal points of attention for legal semiotics.
