women and children, and more, cover these rich resources of
topical, statistical, and analytical information. Each chapter
provides descriptions of web sites, books, reports, and other
important materials and concludes with research strategies, which
offer tips on the most efficient ways to search for certain types
of information. Students, from high school to graduate level,
researchers, and librarians will find this an important reference

international government sources, the book covers resources from
