Find books by searching the full text of books using Google Books.
Full-text search of millions of books.
Full-text search of millions of books. Allows searching by author and title, and (to a degree) limiting by publication date. For more information, see Using Google Book Search.
Because Google Books searches the full text, you can often get good results with more narrow, specific searches than would be useful in Doncore or WorldCat — searches such as:
agriculture "climate change"
"animal use" "biomedical research"
"animal welfare" europe
international protection "endangered species"
With Advanced Search, you can search by author and title, and limit by publication date.
