The Social Science Encyclopedia, first published in 1985 to acclaim
from social scientists, librarians and students, was thoroughly
revised in 1996, when reviewers began to describe it as a classic.
This third edition has been radically recast. Over half the entries
are new or have been entirely rewritten, and most of the balance
have been substantially revised.
Written by an international team of contributors, the Encyclopedia
offers a global perspective on key issues within the social
sciences. Some 500 entries cover a variety of enduring and newly
vital areas of study and research methods. Experts review
theoretical debates from neo-evolutionism and rational choice
theory to poststructuralism, and address the great questions that
cut across the social sciences. What is the influence of genes on
behaviour? What is the nature of consciousness and cognition? What
are the causes of poverty and wealth? What are the roots of
conflict, wars, revolutions and genocidal violence?
This authoritative reference work is aimed at anyone with a serious
interest in contemporary academic thinking about the individual in
society.
