So where to begin?
ANNIE makes a good starting place, and here's the result:

Looks like Geology... let's look at the next one, which turns out to tell
us quite a bit if we're patient enough to examine the evidence:

This is at least clearly Biology, and what we can focus upon is the
context of Archae...: "archaebacteria, eubacteria, and
eukaryotes... early biochemical evolution...". And it's not too much of
a jump to recognize that "archae..." has something to do with "old".
So... Annie gives us some hints, but our book collection isn't big enough to tell us much more. We could try a larger library, and for choice I generally use Harvard. I telnet to hollis.harvard.edu and here's what I find:

Note that two of the sources are Congresses --a sure sign of a new/hot topic, which generates meetings on the subject. We'd therefore expect that most of the writing on the new/hot subject would be in journal literature (and science journalism), and not necessarily in books, which are a relatively 'slow' form.

and a quick scan of call numbers suggests that the QR area has a
pretty good concentration of them. Here's one of the gems we'll find if
we go and look at the shelves:
