Thank you for stopping by my bepress.com page. I am a librarian who in addition to my regular duties is involved in research, writing, and online projects in my original fields--namely, biogeography and evolutionary theory, systems theory, geography, and history of science. I also do some avocational work in music. For more information, see my professional homepage at http://www.wku.edu/~smithch/index.html , or google the two terms 'wku' and 'smithch'.
