and higher level recommendations. The appendix will include a 

guide for instructors with tips on how to use the content for 

various curricula.

Teaching Points 

Animal rights is an extremely high‐interest topic for 

students and is among the top 5 most‐searched topics in 

Gale’s OVIC database. 

Some animal rights activists argue that animals need to 

be given rights of personhood, so that they can have 

value as living beings and be considered more than 

property under the law. 

Opponents of granting rights of personhood to animals 

argue that doing so would pose a grave threat to the 

economy, the pet care industry, as well as to many 

cultural and religious institutions. 

Market Needs 

Some major social issues seem distant and hard to comprehend, but students of all ages have strong feelings about 

animals and the role they play in our world. Animal Rights and Welfare is a social issue students encounter when 

studying biological, agricultural, and environmental sciences, but also in English language arts, history, social studies, and 

civics classes. It's a common debate topic and a favorite subject for research papers. 

Engaging and timely topics provide ideal content for students to conduct research to “build and present knowledge” as 

recommended by common core ELA standards for writing (ELA‐Literacy.W.9‐10.7‐9 and W.11‐12.7‐9). In addition, this 

content supports Next Generation Science Standards emphasizing biodiversity, ecosystems, and other facets of life 

sciences and earth sciences.

and New Zealand combined.” (UNHCR) 

1.02 million people obtained lawful permanent resident 

status in the United States in 2014. (US Dept. of Homeland 

Security) 

In the first five months of 2016, some 204,000 people 

traveled to Europe to seek refuge from countries in conflict. 

About 2,500 people died trying to cross the Mediterranean.

Market Needs 

The 2016 presidential election in the United States and the refugee crisis in Europe have brought much 

attention to the topic of immigration and migration. Immigration debate has surged as politicians and citizens 

alike question the impact of migration on society, politics, and culture. This 2-volume resource provides a 

wealth of information about the topic, culling data from authoritative sources, including both U.S. and global 

agencies, organizations, and researchers. Entries are thorough, well organized, and feature color photos and 

illustrations. About 30 primary sources enhance the reader’s learning experience. Related entries and resource 

lists give readers suggestions for further research. 

Markets 

Public: The titles in the well-established In Context product family are designed to provide clear, accurate, and 

easy-to-use information. Many public-library patrons---including parents and students---seek authoritative but 

accessible information on important topics in the world today. 

School: The “In Context” format helps students apply critical thinking skills to immigration- and migrationrelated 

content to assess the issues that will impact the world they will inherit. Immigration, a perennial and 

ever-evolving issue in the United States and abroad, is part of the high school curriculum, as part of the ELA 

standards for history and social studies, NCSS standards for Civics, Economics, Geography (Human 

Population: Spatial Patterns and Movements; Global Interconnections: Changing Spatial Patterns), and 

History: Change, Continuity, and Context. 


Immigration and Migration: In Context provides students with key data to understand the roots of the issues 

that make contemporary migration and immigration so contentious around the globe. The set covers the 

fundamentals of these complicated issues, exploring the social, political, and cultural factors that impact, and 

are affected by, immigration and human migration. Each entry contains a brief introduction to the topic, an 

overview of the historical background, and a discussion of the impact and issues surrounding the topic. The

Legal Issues across the Globe Print Pub Date: September 2017 


Global studies is a growing focus at both the 

collegiate level and at select K-12 institutions 

(such as International Baccalaureate schools), and 

teachers are seeking to infuse global content into 

their lessons. 

 

 

Common links among global studies curricula are 

an interdisciplinary approach, a focus on global 

issues, and the cultivation of cross-cultural 

awareness. 

Twenty-first-century jobs require employees who 

can successfully operate in a globalized and 

multicultural economy. 

At a Glance 

Legal Issues across the Globe is a new academic 

series, with one volume published annually 

Print Price: $315. Ebook Price: $346.50 

Volume One; 448 total pages 

Full color; 6 chapters, with 72 country essays 

60 photos, 17 charts/graphs/maps 

Print ISBN: 978-1-4103-3840-2 

Ebook ISBN:978-1-4103-3841-9 

Market Needs 

In recent years, educators as well as employers have cited the importance of embracing diversity and 

developing a global perspective. At the collegiate level, this aim is manifested in the increase in global 

studies offerings. These programs are often constructed by pulling in courses from a variety of disciplines, 

or they may require a focus on a particular world region (e.g., Latin American studies). Legal Issues 

across the Globe offers instructors an example of how to infuse global content into topic-based study while 

also allowing them to pick and choose country essays across topics to fit into area-studies classes. 

Legal Issues across the Globe fills a need for global content. While every chapter includes an entry on the 

United States, the preponderance of material, around 85 percent, is international in scope. 

Legal Issues across the Globe examines how today’s hot-button issues are being addressed within the 

legal systems of various countries and explores the historical and cultural forces behind the diversity of 

legal approaches. It is unique in being an accessible and interesting undergraduate law resource; most 

competitors in the field are technical volumes targeted at law students. 

In terms of global topic discussion, Legal Issues across the Globe differentiates itself by being an 

academic, rather than K-12, product that boasts detailed, authoritative essays along with unmatched 

breadth of countries covered. In addition, the yearly publication schedule of volumes in the series allows 

for timely coverage of topics and the ability to update previously covered issues, a feature that one-off or 

edition-style publications cannot match. 

Page 1 of 3



Markets 

Academic: This is the primary market for Legal Issues across the Globe, and the product’s blend of law, 

history and culture makes it a fit in a variety of classes. Some examples include: 

• Middle Tennessee State University, Fall 2017, GS 2010 - Introduction to Cross-Cultural Experiences 

(aligns with any chapter in volume) 

• University of Chicago, 2017/2017, GNSE 15002-15003: Gender and Sexuality in World Civilizations 

I-II (aligns with chapter on Same-Sex Relationships) 

• Boston University, Summer 2017, CAS WS 305 - Reproductive Rights and Justice (aligns with 

chapter on Sexual and Reproductive Rights of Women) 

• Colby College, 2017/2018, GS251f - Global Displacement: Understanding Refugees and Refugee 

Policy (aligns with chapter on Refugees) 

• Stanford Law School, Spring 2017, LAW 4021 - Free Speech in the Age of the Internet (aligns with 

chapter on Freedom of Speech on the Internet) 

Government/Special: With contextual legal content and historical and cultural information on a range 

of countries worldwide, Legal Issues across the Globe could be a useful resource for business, law 

libraries, and government agencies or NGOs with an international focus. 

K-12 (upper level): There are more than 4,700 International Baccalaureate schools worldwide. In 

schools offering the IB Diploma Programme, all students must complete an “extended essay,” a selfdirected 

research project culminating in a 4,000-word paper. A new option for this project is the world 

studies extended essay, for which a student "must focus on a topic of global significance . . . . [and] 

“explore how their chosen issue may be illustrated in a local context.” The assignment’s interdisciplinary 

approach and goal of promoting global awareness matches the mission of Legal Issues across the Globe, 

and these young scholars could find inspiration and direction from the product. 


Legal Issues across the Globe showcases the diversity of legal approaches to issues making headlines 

worldwide. Each chapter is devoted to a single topic and presents twelve country essays examining how 

the nation’s history and culture have influenced legislative and judicial actions. 

• Volume One topics are: Freedom of Speech on the Internet; Marijuana; Police Misconduct; 

Refugees; Same-Sex Relationships; and Sexual and Reproductive Rights of Women. 

• Each topic-based chapter consists of an overview by a legal scholar and equally weighted entries 

on twelve countries chosen from different regions of the world to illustrate various positions taken 

and solutions adopted. 

• 50 countries are covered in Volume One, and while there is a U.S. entry in each chapter, American 

content makes up just 15% of the volume’s coverage. 

• The common structure of the essays—introduction, historical and cultural background, legislation, 

outcome and trends, and bibliography—makes it simple to compare the same issue in one country 

with another. 

• Two short narratives in each country essay—in the introduction and a sidebar—discuss how a 

country’s stance on the issues has impacted an individual, personalizing the issue and helping to 

engage readers.

Scope and Editorial Structure 

Legal Issues across the Globe examines global issues through the lenses of law, history, and culture. The 

basic inclusion criteria are that an issue is newsworthy in dozens of countries and that for each country 

chosen there is sufficient information—including an average of six laws/court cases cited—to create an 

approximately 3,500-word entry.

What's this about? This volume examines the concepts of 

transhumanism and posthumanism 

Examples of Disciplines Covered: Gender studies, Religion, 

Pharmaceuticals, Bioengineering, Philosophy 


Bioenhancements, once dismissed as mere sci-fi fantasy, are rapidly advancing in three major areas: 

pharmaceuticals, bioelectronics, and genetics. 

 

 

 

Over the coming decades, these enhancements will allow people to alter the contours of their bodies and minds in 

profound ways, raising fundamental questions about what it means to be human. 

The wide-ranging chapters of this book, each written by an expert in the field, explore the social, economic, moral, 

and religious implications of these accelerating innovations. 

Together these chapters paint a portrait of the bioengineered civilization that is taking shape all around us, laying 

out the key practical and moral challenges with which these technologies will confront the coming generations. 

Market Needs 

There has been a steady and society-wide (and worldwide) increased interest in human modification, whether in silicone 

valley, in the classroom or among curious lay readers. This volume will enable readers to 

 

 

 

 

question what it means to be human in the 21 st century; 

read through the on-going techno-scientific trends at play and their dynamics; 

better understand the shifting boundaries of the human condition in relation to circumstances -- spiritual, material, 

biological, technological; 

acquire an analytical framework and a set of tools to think about the future and understand the deep interrelation 

between accounts of the past, the present and the future. 

Markets 

PUBLIC: Interdisciplinarity also works for lay readers in the public library environment, where such issues that are 

core to transhuman/posthuman thinking as, e.g., bioenhancements, mind uploading, AI, and the Singularity are 

widely investigated through an exploration, for example, of the religious view of immortality; or discussing the 

moral dilemma of what a person is now that these new technologies are becoming a reality.

Macmillan Interdisciplinary Handbooks: 

Posthumanism: The Future of Homo Sapiens Pub Date: January 19, 2018 

ACADEMIC: Interdisciplinarity is an innovative way of introducing novice readers to the study: philosophy, religion, 

films, literature, the arts, “extreme biology,” pharmaceuticals research, and other social or exact sciences, or 

situations/events provide illustrations of human experiences which work as gateways to the study of 

transhumanism and posthumanism. 


The target audience is undergraduate students and interested lay readers who have had little or no exposure to the 

professional study of transhumanism and posthumanism. This handbook will provide an introduction to a vast array of 

scholarly perspectives on emergent technologies and biotechnologies used to modify or augment the capabilities of 

human beings. The handbook covers the fundamental aspects of how bioenhancement will become feasible, what shape 

these technologies are likely to take, and what sorts of concrete consequences they will have for people’s lives. This 

volume will strive for both intellectual clarity and a genuinely accessible voice, always emphasizing the practical and moral 

implications of bioenhancement technologies. Posthumanism: The Future of Homo Sapiens takes an interdisciplinary 

approach to the subject, integrating science and technology as well as the arts, humanities, religious perspectives, and 

ethics. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Introduces the discipline and key concepts 

Discusses science and technology as well as religious responses 

Discusses moral debates and social implications of evolving biotechnologies 

Features new, “Posthuman” arts concepts 

Peer-reviewed signed chapters are written by eminent scholars. Includes a glossary, bibliographies of worked 

cited and suggestions for further reading, images/graphics, and an index. 

Uses extensive academic research. 


This volume is part of the larger Macmillan Interdisciplinary Handbooks family, including the 10-volume sets on Gender, 

Philosophy, and Religion. 


The volume will appear in ebook format on GVRL.

Protests, Riots, and Rebellions: Civil Unrest Print Pub Date: March 2018 

in the Modern World 


Social reform movements are part of every 

middle school curriculum, but age-appropriate 

resources to support such topics are scarce. 

Social media is at the center of teens’ lives, but 

they may not realize that without social media, 

modern-day reform movements, like the recent 

Egyptian uprising, wouldn’t have happened. 

Pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong held 

street sit-ins in 2014, using umbrellas to protect 

them from police pepper spray during the 

“Umbrella Revolution.” 

At a Glance 



Full color 

30 chapters, each covering 3 to 5 events 


Print ISBN: 9781410339089 

Market Needs 

Advocates of change often take to the streets, hold sit-ins, call for boycotts, go on strike, and even riot or stage 

rebellions for their cause, whether it be anti-war or pro-democracy, civil rights, animal rights, gay rights, 

women’s rights, the environment, or economic discontent, among other issues. Many of these protests are 

peaceful demonstrations while others turn violent. U·X·L’s latest three-volume set details a variety of protest 

events from around the globe, both historic and contemporary events, some well-known, and others less 

familiar to the middle-school reader. Although such events pepper nearly every era that middle school students 

study, there is little library reference at the middle school reading level that covers the events in detail, and 

encourages critical thinking about them. International coverage makes this a unique offering for this audience. 

Markets 

School: U·X·L titles provide language-level appropriate content to help students learn about topics relevant to 

their lives and the world around them. Such titles encourage the development of critical thinking skills through 

a series of thought-provoking questions and research activity ideas. This title supports NCSS content 

standards for Civics and Government, U.S. History, and World History. 

Public: This latest U·X·L title provokes discussion of important U.S. and global protest events and their impact. 

It offers library patrons reliable information in an engaging format. 


Protests, Riots, and Rebellions provides students with a look at various types of protests that serious activists 

and ordinary people alike have used to bring awareness to their cause and effect change. Some 30 chapters 

focus on a different social issue, movement, or theme. Chapters provide a brief historical, social, and political 

overview of the issue or movement and then describe 3 to 5 specific protest events associated with it. An 

engaging and informative summary of each event explores the motivations and methods of protesters, media 

reaction and coverage, government response, outcomes, and impacts. These easy-to-read entries are 

enhanced with color photos and illustrations, along with some historical b/w images.

Protests, Riots, and Rebellions: Civil Unrest Print Pub Date: March 2018 

in the Modern World 

Each event includes 3 to 6 data points that call out interesting facts and figures—such as location/date, 

duration, number of participants, number of protesters arrested, number of people injured, the amount of 

property damage, number of people killed or wounded, and the like. Students can then use these key facts as 

easy access points with which to compare events. Primary sources are included to show examples of letters, 

petitions, relevant news coverage, first-hand accounts, etc. 

30 chapters beginning with an overview of the topic then detailing 3 to 5 events. Chapters average 7,000 

words. Examples: Anti-war, Civil Rights, Climate Change, the Environment, Gay Rights, Human Rights, 

Immigration, Labor, Pro-Democracy, Racial Identity, Women’s Suffrage, and more. 

A Critical Thinking Questions sidebar and Research and Activity section in each chapter 

About 50 primary sources that enhance knowledge of the subject or a related topic 

• 180 photos (most in color but some historical b/w images), illustrations, graphs, etc., to highlight the text 

• A glossary of terms (compiled from the chapter-specific Words to Know sidebars) 

• A chronology of important events and a bibliography pointing students to sources for further research 


• A general subject index offering access to places, subjects, titles, and proper names mentioned in the text 


This title joins UXL Civics (2016), UXL World Eras (2016), UXL Encyclopedia of U.S. History (2009).

St. James Encyclopedia of Hip Hop Culture Print Pub Date: March 2018 


Encompassing rap, DJing, break dancing, graffiti--and 

extending into fashion, cinema, literature, education, 

entrepreneurship, and politics--hip hop is a cultural 

phenomenon that has crossed borders and spanned 

generations. 

 

Hip hop is more than entertainment, more than pop culture; it 

is a global phenomenon and understanding its impact is 

critical to understanding post-Civil Rights American history.

Market Needs 

“If hip-hop is the most important cultural phenomenon in the lifetime of current students, which it is, then no 

institution can reasonably think it understands its students if it hasn’t engaged with hip-hop in some way.” – 

Emory Petchauer, quoted in Inside Higher Education, December 2011. 

Since hip hop emerged on the streets of the Bronx in the 1970s, it has made significant contributions to music, 

dance, fashion, and the visual arts, but also influenced in politics, education, racial identity, and urban culture, 

earning it a place in academia as a legitimate and fertile area of study, that is growing quickly. 

While reference titles exist on Popular Culture, Urban Culture, Subcultures, and Youth Cultures generally, an 

authoritative, international, academic resource focusing squarely on Hip Hop Culture has yet to be published. 

Gale has an opportunity to publish the first authoritative, academically rigorous reference work on the subject. 

Markets 

Academic: 

Hip hop culture is studied within countless disciplines at the university level, including history, sociology, 

anthropology, business, marketing, design, and of course music, dance, and art. 

Examples include: 

o University of Michigan, Fall 2016, AAS 254 - The History and Evolution of Hip Hop Culture 

o Ohio State University, Fall 2016, AFAMAST 2218 - Black Urban Experience

St. James Encyclopedia of Hip Hop Culture Print Pub Date: March 2018 

Hip hop culture has had a meaningful impact on the lives of students and young scholars who are looking at it 

as a topic worthy of serious scholarship. From 2012 to the present Google Scholar reveals 18,800 results for 

“hip hop”, with many articles looking at hip hop culture outside the United States. 

Public: Hip hop is included in programing at large public libraries like Queens Library, honoring its local history 

and culture with “8 Days of Nonstop Hip Hop” in May 2015. The Schomburg Center (NYPL) hosted “First 

Friday ‘Hip Hop’ edition” in May 2016, with similar programming at other urban libraries engaging their 

communities. 

Schools: Hip hop is being incorporated into K12 curriculum to engage students in learning English language 

arts, history, and even science. Teachers and students would find this a valuable resource for research and 

reference. 


The St. James Encyclopedia of Hip Hop Culture presents some 250 articles that examine the history and 

contributions of hip hop to American and global culture. It provides academic and public libraries with a muchneeded 

authoritative reference resource defining, exploring, and analyzing this significant aspect of culture and 

history. School libraries, especially high school, would likely see high usage as students seek citable sources 

for research papers. 

Entries will provide information about the music (rap and DJing), dance (break dancing), and visual arts 

(graffiti) that are the artistic expressions of hip hop culture, featuring the people, places, events, and works that 

started the movement and established hip hop as a global phenomenon. Entries will also examine hip hop’s 

influence in other artistic arenas such as fashion, film, and poetry; its impact on education, politics, social 

activism, racial and ethnic identity, and globalization; and its many contributions to American, urban, black, and 

Latino culture.

Unlocking Current Issues Print Pub Date: March 16, 2018 


Studies have “demonstrated that classroom 

discussions on current events and controversial 

issues lead to a measurable increase in the 

following areas: critical thinking, tolerance, civic 

knowledge, political interest, confidence, social 

integration and intentions to vote.”

view of the many intractable issues facing society; 

Unlocking Current Issues provides foundational 

historical information to help students gain a 

better understanding of these issues.

COMPELLING REASONS WHY A LIBRARY NEEDS THIS TITLE 


Extensive coverage of international entries (over 3,000 libraries located outside the U.S. and 

Canada). 

Growing number of virtual libraries, growing number of entries with information on library blogs, 

vlogs, podcasts, and video tours. 

Social media contact information (Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn) now included. 

Increased coverage of topics in the news, such as climate change, gun control, and international 

and domestic terrorism. 

COMPETITION INFORMATION 

American Library Directory (Information Today). Only lists libraries in U.S. and Canada; Subjects, 

Special Collection, Holdings, and Electronic Resources information not as extensive as DSL. Profiles 

over 30,000 libraries. This directory is available online at www.americanlibrarydirectory.com (free 

14-day trial at website). 

World Guide to Special Libraries (DeGruyter) Matches DSL in international coverage; however, 

entries are not nearly as extensive as DSL’s. Entry count for 2015 edition is approximately 35,000 

libraries, and price is $867 for print.

sources dealing with this topic, such as bibliographies, associations, periodicals, and research 

centers. 

Do you need to find directories, online databases, or trade/professional associations related

PURPOSE

COMPELLING REASONS WHY A 

LIBRARY NEEDS THIS TITLE 

. 

 

 

 

As the information needs of business 

managers and information professionals 

continue to increase, timely and 

convenient access becomes more valuable. 

The Encyclopedia of Business 

Information Sources (EBIS) is designed 

to assist these individuals in locating 

material relevant to today’s rapidly 

changing business environment. 

The Encyclopedia of Business 

Information Sources is a primary place to 

look for information on business topics. 

Because business activity occurs in many 

different areas of human endeavor, the 

range of subjects in EBIS is very broad. A 

search can be initiated here for 

information sources on such general 

business topics as Accounting or Finance, 

for sources on the business aspects of 

high-technology subjects, such as 

Electronics or Fiber Optics, or for sources 

on community-related topics—for 

example, Business Ethics or Social 

Responsibility. 

EBIS thus serves two kinds of information 

needs: for a quick survey of publications 

and organizations relating to a particular 

topic, and for reference to a specific 

source that will provide a single fact or 

statistic. 

Includes more than 25,000 citations, 

dealing with more than 1,100 

business, financial, and industrial 

topics. 

Available as an ebook on Gale 

Directory Library as well as print. 

FEATURES 

EBIS search functions allow researchers to 

locate information sources for an array of 

business topics. 

Users can reference various publications 

and organizations related to a particular 

business topic. 

EBIS customers can also reference to a 

specific source that will provide a single 

fact or statistic. 

The print edition is arranged by subject 

(over 1,100 subject terms covered). 

Within each subject term, entries are 

further arranged by type of resource 

(e.g., CD-ROMs, Directories, 

Handbooks and Manuals, Internet 

Databases, Research Centers, etc.) for 

use by librarians and the general public. 

BENEFITS 

This is a unique resource for ready 

reference, competitive analysis, 

diversification planning, marketing 

research, and other forms of economic and 

policy analysis. 

State-of-the-art search and export features 

and quick and easy digital ways to view, 

store and export the data you find 

Data sorting, filtering and 

exporting is easy and an essential tool for 

research and marketing alike. 

For users with a specific title, 

organization, or service in mind, the 

print edition of Encyclopedia of 

Business Information Sources features 

an alphabetic list of sources following 

the main text. This Sources Cited 

section repeats all entries from the 

main text, sorting them alphabetically 

by publication title or organization 

name. The Sources Cited section also 

includes complete contact information.
