NatureServe Explorer http://www.natureserve.org/ "Non-profit conservation organization, NatureServe, with its colorful website and troves of animal, plant, and ecological data, is a superb resource for academics and members of the public. Two separate databases NatureServe makes available stand out: NatureServe Explorer: an Online Encyclopedia of Life and InfoNatura. NatureServe Explorer covers the United States and Canada, with information on more than 65,000 plants, animals, and ecosystems, particularly endangered species. InfoNatura focuses on 8,500 birds, mammals, and amphibians of Latin America, from the common to the rare and endangered. NatureServe draws its data from scholarly sources and databases compiled by local and national conservation organizations. NatureServe's detail and presentation will be of value to all users who are gathering biological and ecological data". Sybil Finemel Library Director MLIS.CIO.

Manners are what vex or soothe, corrupt or purify, exalt or debase, barbarize or refine us, by a constant, steady, uniform, insensible operation, like that of the air we breathe in."
