The New Walford: Guide To Reference Resources Volume 2: Social Sciences

摘要

The Walford family of guides to reference material have been going since the 1950s and are landmarks, icons, and part of the furniture of the reference world. What is now called the New Walford started life with volume 1, covering science and technology and medicine, published by Facet in 2005 under its editor-in-chief Ray Lester. Volume 2, covering the social sciences (psychology, sociology and social work, politics and government and law, finance and industry and business, education and sport and media and information) appeared in 2008, coordinated by Ray Lester and Peter Clinch and others, and is the work under review here. The Facet Publishing website forecasts volume 3, covering arts and humanities and general reference, for December 2009.
