Arranged across eleven volumes in A-Z format, it is the definitive reference source for students, researchers, and academics in the field.

Articles covering core issues such as race, poverty, violence, economics, pregnancy and abortion have been updated and expanded, and completely new articles have been written on topics such as the Internet, privacy and epidemiology.

Fully revised and updated, the second edition of the International Encyclopedia of the Social and Behavioral Sciences, Twenty Five Volume Set, offers a source of social and behavioral sciences reference material that is broader and deeper than any other.
