A brief biographical sketch of Bradbury provides readers with necessary background information that shows an early interest in the topics of book burning and censorship. Development of the novella is traced by way of a collection of short stories that later evolved into Fahrenheit 451 – most of which had not been published until recently. A summary of the publication history is laid out with the most recent being the work's release in e-book format much to Bradbury's consternation. The paper examines the historical happenings which were occurring at the time of the novella's publication which affected the overall interpretation of the work with consideration given to Bradbury's sentiments. An examination of the book's censorship history is explored.

Life History, Biographical and Narrative Approaches in Education: Significant Bibliographical References in the English-speaking Field of Education
Alhadeff-Jones, M. & Le Grand, J.-L. (2008) Life History, Biographical and Narrative Approaches in Education: Significant Bibliographical References in the English-speaking Field of Education. (Version 3; May 12th 2008). Available at: http://columbia.academia.edu/MichelAlhadeffJones.

Since 2002, many references have been added, based on additional research on the Internet (including commercial websites), in books, or through personal contacts. The third version of this bibliography has been organized by themes and by types of sources (chapters, books and documents; papers, journals and conference proceedings). Despite the fact that this bibliography brings together approximately 450 references it is not an exhaustive one. Instead, its purpose is to introduce a broad field of study illustrating its diversity, as it can be observed in the English-speaking field of education and mainly in the American, Canadian and British field of education. From an international perspective, this bibliography can also be a complement to non English-speaking bibliographies already existing.

It strongly modified different components of a system which had evolved for years wilhout human intervention. The fish species that will survive downstream from the dam or in the reservoir will adapt their reproductive strategies to the new environmenlal conditions. Their early life stages will also be affected. The aim of the present work was to present an extensive review of the data available in the scientific or aquaria hobby literature on the reproductive strategies and early stages of the genus represented in lhe River. Available data appear scarce, helerogeneous and biased towards taxa with fishery or hobby interests. However, these data provide a basic frame for research programs on the reproductive strategies and early stages of the fish in the Sinnamary River.
