The volume of secondary material now available to students is often
overwhelming. The "Reader's Guide to the Social Sciences" offers
students, teachers, researchers, and librarians help and advice on
how to find what they want. The "Reader's Guide" is a guide to
reading--it provides expert guidance to and critical analysis of
the vast number of books available in hundred of specific topics.
This 2-volume work includes approximately 1,200 entries in A-Z
order, critically reviewing the literature on specific topics from
abortion to world systems theory. In addition, nine major entries
cover each of the major disciplines (political economy; management
and business; human geography; politics; sociology; law;
psychology; organizational behavior) and the history and
development of the social sciences in a broader sense.
Each entry lists the key texts published on the topic (normally
6-12 books or articles), followed by an essay of 800-1000 words
that discusses these texts. The essays provide the reader with
advice on the quality, emphasis, range and depth of coverage, and
point of view, of each book listed in the bibliography. The major
survey articles act as a large scale map of the discipline,
enabling readers to put the standard length entries into context,
to understand the historical development of the discipline, and to
review key controversies and points of departure between different
schools of thought.
The entries in "Reader's Guide to the Social Sciences" are fully
cross-referenced and allow the reader to access scholarship in
social science topics across a diverse range of often confusing
disciplines.
