Synopsis

In 'The Holladay Case: A Tale,' Burton Egbert Stevenson crafts a poignant narrative that weaves elements of mystery and legal intricacies into a tapestry reflective of the genre's classic elements. Embedded within the turn-of-the-century American landscape, the book employs a literary style that balances detail-oriented storytelling with the fast-paced rhythm often associated with detective fiction of the era. Stevenson's work harkens back to the formative years of crime storytelling, embodying the spirit of deduction and the meticulous piecing-together of clues that epitomize the genre. As a historical artifact republished by DigiCat Publishing, the novel not only offers a suspenseful plot but also provides readers with a lens into the socio-cultural atmosphere of the period it represents.
Burton Egbert Stevenson, an American author, librarian, and anthologist, brings to 'The Holladay Case: A Tale' a deep understanding of narrative construction and a practiced hand in character development. His career, notably punctuated by his role as a librarian, possibly contributed to his methodical approach to unraveling the novel's mystery, as his exposure to a breadth of literature would have undoubtedly influenced his own writing. The synthesis of Stevenson's literary experience and observations of early 20th-century American life bestows upon the novel a certain authenticity and relatability that transcends time.
For connoisseurs of classic detective stories and those with an appreciation for early American fiction, 'The Holladay Case: A Tale' is a commendable addition to one's literary collection. Stevenson offers an engaging escape into a bygone era where the suspense and allure of the unseen bind pages together. Readers are recommended to delve into this reprinted edition with the respect and vigor fitting for a piece of world literature that so richly demonstrates the enduring appeal of the whodunit narrative.

    Information Science: The Basics provides an accessible introduction to the multifaceted field of Information Science (IS). 
     
     
     
    Inviting listeners to explore a modern field of study with deep historical foundations, the book begins by considering the complexities of the term "information" and the information life cycle from classification to preservation. Each chapter examines a different area within IS, surveying its history, technologies, and practices with a critical eye. This interdisciplinary field incorporates a wide range of approaches which it shares with humanities, social science, and technology fields. What makes IS unique is its emphasis on the connections between information, technology, and society. The need to share information more effectively in response to social, environmental, and biomedical challenges has never been so urgent; the volume discusses the risks as well as benefits that come with the emerging technologies that make it possible. The book also explores how IS, with its long-standing commitment to intellectual freedom and digital inclusion, and its keen attention to the protection of privacy, data ethics, and algorithmic transparency, can contribute to the creation of a more open and equitable society.
