Now in its third edition, this book provides undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and librarians with descriptions of approximately 610 major reference sources in sociology, its subdisciplines, and the related social sciences. Emphasis in this edition is on works in English published in the United States, Great Britain, Canada, and Australia from 1997 through early 2004. Coverage of earlier works is included if coverage is historically important or not historically bound. The third edition has been reorganized for ease of searching, and adds over 325 new titles and electronic sources, as well surveying new editions and updates of previously cited works, making this a substantial revision and complement to the previous edition.
