What's New in the 19th Edition of Sears Over 400 new subject headings New coverage of topics in the headlines The growing interest in Islam among the general public and in school curricula is reflected in the new materials published, for which the Sears List now provides heading such as Islam and politics, Islamic music, Muslim women, Shiites, Sunnis, and Dervishes. Coverage of new forms of literature The extraordinary growth in the publication of graphic novels prompts the timely addition of more than thirty new headings, among them: Adventure graphic novels, Romance graphic novels, Superhero graphic novels, Manga, Komodo, and Mecha. These new headings were suggested to us by Katherine L. Kan, a noted expert in the field. These headings are all genre headings and follow the patterns set by other literary form and genre headings already in the List. New subject headings in a variety of other areas as well represent a major enhancement to the List in this edition. New headings have been added in the fields of science and technology, such as Computer animation, Open access publishing, and Stem cell research; in lifestyle and entertainment, such as Neopaganism, Reality television programs, and Body piercing; in politics and world affairs, such as War reparations, Suicide bombers, and Border patrols; and in literature and the arts, such as Urban fiction and Art pottery.
