Online Reference Databases (e-Reference Books)
Blackwell Encyclopedia of Sociology
The Blackwell Encyclopedia of Sociology, containing over 1,800 entries/3.5 million words, is an essential reference for expert and newcomer alike, with entries ranging from short definitions of key terms to extended explorations of major topics in the broad field of sociology. It provides clear, concise, expert definitions and explanations of the key concepts written by leading scholars in the field. This resource contains materials that have historically defined the discipline, but also more recent developments, significantly updating the store of sociological knowledge, including introductions to sociological theories and research that have developed outside of the United States and Western Europe. While focused broadly in sociology, this encyclopedia touches on a wide range of disciplines such as criminology, ethnography, gender studies, gerontology, psychology, and social work.Encyclopedia of Anthropology
The online version of this five-volume subject encyclopedia features over 1000 entries that focus on topics in physical/ biological anthropology, archaeology, cultural/social anthropology, linguistics, and applied anthropology. Also included are relevant articles on geology, paleontology, biology, evolution, sociology, psychology, philosophy, and theology. The contributions are authored by 300 internationally renowned experts, professors, and scholars from some of the most distinguished universities, institutes and museums in the world. Special attention is given to: hominid evolution, primate behavior, genetics, ancient civilizations, cross-cultural studies, social theories, and the value of human language for symbolic communication.Encyclopedia of Gerontology
This online version of the revised, two-volume Encyclopedia of Gerontology (2007 ed.) provides a reference source for identifying major areas of investigation and knowledge on the biology, psychology and sociology of aging, in addition to covering how aging is depicted in the humanities. The articles touch upon the many and varied aspects of research in gerontology, from the genetics and biology of aging, to issues of daily life: the workplace, family life, retirement, health care, social security and pensions. Each of the 180 articles provides depth and breadth of coverage, including theory and summaries of empirical findings. Articles also contain a definition paragraph, describing the subject at hand, a glossary of unfamiliar terms, and a bibliography of suggested readings. Search terms can be truncated (psych* for psychology or psychological).STAT!Ref Online Electronic Medical Library
