Have you ever wondered what life on earth is all about? If so, this is the book for you. With uncanny insight and refreshing candour, author Peter Griffiths takes readers on a unique journey into the interconnection between humanity, the earth, and our illimitable ''life energy''. Condensing 75 years of life experience into this volume, he provides theories on some of life''s fundamental questions, such as ''Why are we here?'' and ''How have we evolved over the ages to arrive at the crossroads we are facing today?''                   As a young man, Peter was ''taught'' the art of water dowsing. During these dowsing experiences, he became aware that there are still many aspects of the natural world we cannot explain. This awareness triggered an ongoing quest to find credible answers to his questions about life. He realised there is an intelligent ''life energy'' at work in the material universe. This was the breakthrough that allowed him deep insights into the nature and origin of life on earth. These unique insights have been passed on in this book, offering a glimpse into the eternal nature of being, as well as where we''ve come from and where we might be going.

In these turbulent times, with the challenges of a constantly changing job market, shifting information-seeking behaviour and a vast array of new resources continually being produced, library and information services need to constantly keep one step, or more, ahead of their users. The benefits of analysing user behaviour are self-evident: better strategic planning, cost benefits and better use of budgets, better marketing, satisfied customers, satisfied management, and a library or information unit that is central to the needs of your parent organization. However, paradoxically, user needs and levels of expectation, including those of remote users, are often not fully explored. This accessible text goes back to the basics and investigates the following key issues: why this book; defining your users; understanding users - the what, why, where, when, how and who; what is the current knowledge of user behaviour and needs - is it really predictable; great expectations - how LIS professionals can manage and train users; using information about past user behaviour; making the most of knowing your users; keeping track of changes in what users want; tracking the future - electronic and social networking; and, future perfect. This book will help any library or information professional anywhere to take a fresh look at this important area and to tackle it in their organization, so as to ensure that their users will always obtain exactly what they want. Webmasters and knowledge managers will also find much to interest them.
