Editorial Reviews

"The annotations for more than 1,400 entries effectively convey the value of each item, and Ross has limited his compilation largely to items that should be readily accessible to most academic researchers. Summing Up: Recommended"

- M. D. Jenkins, Wright State University in CHOICE
