Recenzii

The third edition of this text reflects changes in organization and updated entries, making this revision an essential part of any sociology reference collection that aids students, faculty, and librarians in determining the major sources to consult for sociological information. Indexes, bibliographies, handbooks, databases, Web sites, dictionaries, encyclopedias, and other print and electronic information sources fill the book with 610 entries..Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.
This is an excellent selection tool for any academic library that supports a sociology curriculum. Librarians, researchers and undergraduate students should find the subject approach helpful. Since this is such a substantial revision, libraries that own the earlier editions will also want to have this one on their shelves.
