{"product_id":"social-science-reference-sources-tze-chung-li-9780313304835","title":"Social Science Reference Sources","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe social sciences continue to generate vast amounts of research, which is typically published in scholarly monographs and journal articles. This research, in turn, is summarized in a wide range of reference sources, such as bibliographies, dictionaries, encyclopedias, handbooks, and yearbooks. Now in its third edition, this essential guide provides entries for roughly 1,600 reference sources in the social sciences, including anthropology, business, economics, education, geography, history, law, political science, psychology, and sociology. Most titles published before 1980, which are listed in the second edition, have been excluded, while the present volume gives special attention to electronic resources, including more than 200 web sites. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe first part of the volume contains chapters on the social sciences in general, including discussions of available research tools. It also provides brief descriptions of the features and search methods of online vendors and reviews the specialized reference sources available in selected periodicals. The second part contains chapters on reference sources in particular social science disciplines. The first section of each chapter examines access to these sources through such tools as bibliographies, indexes, and abstracts, while the second looks at particular types of works, such as directories and encyclopedias. In most cases, entries are listed alphabetically under each heading and subheading, with full bibliographic information provided.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tze-Chung Li\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313304831\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313304835\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Greenwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.48h x 6.40w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2000 pg. 514\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAmerican Reference Bks Annual\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2001 pg. 31\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRec Ref Bks for Small\/Med Libr\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2001 pg. 21\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2000 pg. 380","brand":"Tze-Chung Li","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086477897983,"sku":"9780313304835","price":165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_df42f196-7ad7-4acc-a046-2577c57fbfbb.jpg?v=1769094893","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/social-science-reference-sources-tze-chung-li-9780313304835","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
