About this title

Review:

"This 4 volume new edition of a classic work is remarkably comprehensive. The entries are detailed enough to help a novice and concise enough to provide a useful review to an experienced person. I particularly was impressed by the international scope of the entries.  It will be an indispensible resource for both university and public library users."
