CHOICE Review

This volume provides an extensive annotated bibliography for advanced high school through doctoral students and practitioners researching in the field of psychology. The book opens with a discussion of reference works, handbooks, journals, and books in general and distinguishes between primary, secondary, and tertiary sources. At sixty pages, the second chapter is by far the largest contribution to the text. The alphabetical arrangement, by psychological subfield, identifies major works in those subfields. Industrial and organizational psychology, geropsychology, and neuropsychology--fields predicted by the APA to be on the rise--were included. Chapter 3 introduces online databases that support current research in psychology and related fields, namely medicine and education. A handful of figures are provided; most appear in this chapter and illustrate online search strategies via the EBSCOhost PsychINFO interface. Other database interfaces cited by the author were not similarly illustrated. Chapters 4 through 14 follow the alphabetical arrangement of chapter 2 and reference materials germane to psychological tests and measures, theses, dissertations, bibliographies, government documents, biographical materials, directories, style guides, diagnostic manuals, career information, book reviews, and museums/archives. Entries overlapping multiple categories are repeated. The work represents a wealth of information and includes an item number index. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Undergraduates through faculty and professionals. --Brenda G. Turner, Faulkner University
