College and Research Libraries Selected Reference Books of 1993-1994 Eileen Mcilvaine D his article follows the pattern set by the semiannual series initiated by the late Con- stance M. Winchell more than forty years ago and continued by Eugene Sheehy. Because the purpose of the list is to present a selection of recent scholarly and genera~ works of interest to reference workers in university librar- ies, it does not pretend to be either well- balanced or comprehensive. A . brief roundup of new editions of standard works is provided at the end of the arti- cles. Code numbers (such as AD540 and 1CJ331) have been used to refer to titles in the Guide to Reference Books (lOth ed., Chicago: ALA, 1986) and the Supplement ... Covering Materials from 1985-1990 (Chicago: 1992). DICTIONARIES Lewis, lvor. Sahibs, Nabobs, and Boxwal- lahs: A Dictionary of the Words of Anglo- India. Bombay and New York: Oxford Univ. Pr., 1991. 266p. Rs395 (ISBN 0- 19-562582-X). LC 91-900834. In the latter half of the nineteenth cen- tury two Englishmen, Henry Yule and A. C. Burnell, who had served the gov- ernment of India, collaborated to produce a masterpiece of scholarship entitled Hob- son-Jobson: A Glossan; of Colloquial Anglo- Indian Words and Phrases, and of Kindred Terms, Etymological, Historical, Geographical and Discursive (1903. AD128). The present work attempts to fill 11 cer- tain lacunae in Hobson-Jobson in order to achieve a better balance between the words of the common sort and those in the learned registers of theology, indology, philosophy and the like" -Pref Many of the newly added words were culled from pages of historical dictionaries, especially Tlze Oxford Englislz Dictionary and its predecessor Tlze New English Dictionary, which were, for the most part, compiled after the publication of Hobson-]obson. Salzibs, Nabobs and Boxwal/alzs (Anglo- Indian words signifying roughly, lords, government deputies, and business- men respectively) contains significantly fewer words, has less wordy, and conse- quently less exhaustive, definitions and etymological comments, and only cites references, not actual quotations, illus- trating word usage. Its virtue lies in the fact that in spite of its conciseness, it is comprehensive and scholarly. Moreover it includes many common words, some of which originated in the twentieth cen- tury, and could not have been included in Hobson-]obson.-O.d.C.

Various pagings. Bazy Dannykh Rossii is a publication of the Committee on Computerized Infor- mation of the Russian Republic, which acts as a clearinghouse for information on publicly available computerized data- bases. Its research center, 11 lnformregis- ter," maintains a database of descriptive entries-now numbering some 10,000- from which the entries in this publica- tion are drawn. Though not easy to Eileen Mcilvaine is Head of Reference and Collections, Butler Libran;, Columbia University, New York, NY 10027.

Focusing on Russian databases (the two previous editions-1990 and 1991-were broader in scope), this edition lists 2,500 entries and features several indexes. The entries appear according to a classified subject arrangement that is roughly outlined in the table of con- tents. In addition each entry bears a numeric subject code from a separately published technical information the- saurus, the Gosudarstvennoi rubrikator nauchnotekhnicheskoi infonnatsii (4th ed. Moscow: VINITI, 1992). Constructed on the basis of information submitted by the database producers, the entries indi- cate the name of the database, give a brief description of the contents, men- tion the type of documents, the language, and the dates covered, and give technical information regarding computer re- quirements. Bazy Dannykh Rossii attempts to be comprehensive. Both governmental and private database producers' products are listed, all regions of the country are represented, all types of databases-bib- liographic, indexing and abstracting, numerical, full-text-are included, and, although business and scientific data- bases predominate, social science and humanities databases can also be found. There is an alphabetical subject index and an index of database producers giv- ing address, telephone number, and their respective database products. However, there is no index to the data- bases by name.-O.d.C. RELIGION Caldwell, Sandra M., and Ronald J. Caldwell. The History of the Episcopal Church in America, 1607-1991: A Bibliog- raphy. Religious Information Systems, 15. New York: Garland, 1993. 528p. $82 (ISBN 0-8153-0936-8). LC 92-45272. This bibliography of secondary works lists some 3,800 books, articles, and dis- sertations on the history of the Episcopal September 1994 Church in America. General sections of reference works, general histories, pe- riod histories, topical works, and biogra- phies are further subdivided by subject. The largest section, and probably the most useful, lists 1,600 local histories by state and town, including the histories and guides to archives of many individ- ual churches. The topical sections, ad- dressing African Americans, women, music, Anglo-Catholicism, architecture, education, etc., are very useful, although the section on education does not seem to have a clear focus. It lists histories of a few of the schools and colleges that were founded by the Episcopal Church, but omits many others. The topical ar- rangement with an author index works fairly well, though interesting studies of evangelicalism, marriage, and Native Americans are buried in the "miscella- neous" section, where the absence of a subject index is most keenly felt. Despite these limitations, there is no other com- parable bibliography on the history of the Episcopal Church in America, mak- ing this a valuable reference work for American and church history.-S.S. LITERATURE Weekes, Ann Owens. Unveiling Treasures: The Attic Guide to the Published Works of Irish Women Literary Writers. Dublin: Attic Pr., 1993. 368p. £28.99,$47 (ISBN 1-85594-0728). Unveiling Treasures includes nearly 250 Irish women writers of drama, fic- tion, and poetry, ranging from Mary Davys (1674-1732) to such contempo- rary writers as Nuala Ni Dhomhnaill (born 1955). In each entry a biographical profile and discussion of the work, often quoting the author, is followed by a list of writings. The compiler's aim has been "to collect rather than evaluate; thus it is inclusive with respect to writers' work and to details of nationality"-lntrod. Many of the entries for contemporary writers are based on personal communi- cation or taken from their books and consequently do not provide many bio- graphical facts, other than year of birth, place of birth, general education, and current domicile. Occasionally the en- Selected Reference Books of 1993-1994 415 tries will note that the author is married or has children, but names of husbands or children seem to have been excluded on principle (the entry for Lady Wilde never mentions her son Oscar Wilde). Writers living anywhere in Ireland are included, together with many Irish authors living elsewhere. The entries are generally longer than those found in A Biographical Dictionary of Irish Writers (Suppl. 1 BD271) and include far more women writers, as well as more com- plete lists of works.-S.S. MUSIC Encyclopedia of Recorded Sound in the United States. Guy A. Marco, editor; Frank Andrews, contributing editor. Garland Reference Library of the Hu- manities, 936. New York and London: Garland, 1993. 910p. $125 (ISBN 0- 7190-3492-2). LC 93-18166. Since 1877, when Thomas Edison in- vented the tinfoil phonograph and in- augurated the recording of sound, the recording of music and nonmusical sounds has become a permanent fixture in our lives. This encyclopedia provides a compendium of information on the first one hundred years of this activity. The approximately three thousand en- tries have been written primarily by Guy Marco. Also included are another three dozen signed articles whose contribu- tors are identified, with their articles, at the beginning of the volume. The arrangement of the entries is al- phabetic. All headings, with cross-refer- ences, are listed before the text, making it easy to scan. The chronological period covered is roughly 1877 to 1970. How- ever, some later entries important to the topic are included, such as those on the compact disc, and the extension into rap performers in the article on "Sexually oriented lyrics." The main focus is on developments in America, but interna- tional subjects are also included. Because the field covered is a techno- logical medium featuring a variety of topics, the content of the entries runs the gamut from engineering techniques and recording studios to performers, music genres, etc. The reader will find a defini- tion for the "ping pong effect" (a stereo- phonic separation of signals); an entry for "Trevor Pinnock" (contemporary English harpsichordist important in the Early Music movement and a winner of sev- eral recording awards); an extensive bib- liography of sound recordings periodicals; a description of the Salon du Phonographe in Paris, perhaps the earliest record li- brary; and a concise summary of the pre- sent state of the "Preservation of sound recordings," among others. An extensive bibliography (pp. 787- 824), compiled from the articles and keyed to them, and a detailed index close the work. This encyclopedia pro- vides a reference work in an area yet to be heavily covered by the scholarly lit- erature and does so in an intelligently organized and informative way.-E.D. DANCE Bopp, MaryS. Research in Dance: A Guide to Resources. New York: G. K. Hall, 1994. 296p. $50 (ISBN 0-8161-9065-8). LC 92-42508. This welcome and long-needed guide is divided into two parts, the first listing sources for dance material and the sec- ond listing printed resources. The meat of the first section is a list of libraries and archives including many non-U.S. insti- tutions. Each entry, compiled through questionnaires and, in some cases, site vis- its, includes a brief description of the col- lection, any specialized finding aids, and information about circulation policies. This section is completed by a convenient list of dance publishers, specialized book- stores, and dance organizations. The section on printed sources is a topically arranged, annotated bibliog- raphy of reference works, including many sources on ethnic dances. It also lists alphabetically some two hundred, mainly English-language, dance peri- odicals available as of 1992 for all kinds of dance, ballroom, folk, classical, etc. Any library with an interest in the arts, popular culture, or ethnic studies should find this work very useful.-M.C. International Dictionary of Ballet. Ed. Martha Brernser. Detroit: StJames Pr., 416 College & Research Libraries 1993. 2 vols. $230 (ISBN 1-55862-084- 2). LC 93-25051. Since Selma-Jeanne Cohen's long- awaited international dictionary of dance appears to be on hold, this work is a must-buy for any library with an interest in the arts. Like the other St James encyclopedias, it has many vir- tues. The well-written entries deal pri- marily with individuals and specific ballets and provide essential informa- tion (including lists of major roles and their dates), generally well-balanced es- says, and references to other sources. Unfortunately, the work is stronger on details than on overviews; individual ballet companies are listed but not gen- eral periods. A student needing a brief explanation of the Romantic ballet will find nothing, not even cross-references to the informative entries on Gautier, La Sylphide, Cerrito, Giselle, and many oth- ers. Nor are terms defined; nothing on the development of the tutu, the point shoe, or ballet technique. There is a slight British and European bias in the choice of dancers and ballets. Nijinska's La Valse is the main entry, while Balanchine's version gets a paragraph; some young British dancers get entries but not their American counterparts. It is lavishly illustrated, and the photo- graphs are generally well-chosen though not always well-documented-dates, and sometimes roles, are not uniformly pro- vided. But these are quibbles, and this is a welcome resource for the useful infor- mation it does provide.-M.C. ART AND ARCHITECTURE Spanish Artists from the Fourth to the Twen- tieth · Century: A Critical Dictionary. Frick Art Reference Library, New York. New York: G. K. Hall, 1993. Vol. 1 (to be in 3 vols.). $420 (ISBN 0-8161- 0614-2). Readers of this dictionary might at first be disappointed that biographical information is limited. But once the reader finds out that this dictionary of 7,000 artists' names grew out of the Frick Art Reference Library's name-authority file of Spanish artists drawn from its photograph archive, it becomes clear September 1994 that the dictionary far surpasses any standard for a name-authority file. By adding bibliographic citations after every name listed, it fills a serious gap in the bibliographic world. The acknowledged precedent for Spanish Artists is the privately printed Catalogue of Painters and Draughtsmen Represented in the Library of Reproductions of Pictures & Drawings Formed by Robert and Mary Witt (London, 1920). But unlike the Witt's Catalogue, the Frick's Spanish Artists offers more than just an alpha- betical list of artists with basic informa- tion transferred from the captions and annotations accompanying the photo- graphs. Spanish Artists include.s the art- ist's dates and medium (if not a painter), variant names of the artist (90,000 names are listed), national school (if signifi- cant), and a brief bibliography. Variant forms of the artist's name immediately follow the preferred entry, and each entry ends with bibliographic references where further information on the artist can be found. Cross-references from variant forms to the preferred form of each artist's name are particularly critical in sorting out compound Spanish surnames. Spanish Artists begins with an intro- duction that describes both the inspira- tion for this publication and the historical foundation for such a publica- tion at the Frick. A guide to use written in English, Spanish, French, and German follows. At the time of this review, only volume 1 has been published. At the end of the last volume (vol. 3) there will be a chronological list of all the artists listed and a complete bibliography of sources used in the compilation of information on each artist. The end of volume 1 al- ready has the complete alphabetical list of cross-references that refer to the estab- lished entries that fall within the first volume (artists names from A to F), as well as a bibliography of all sources cited in volume 1. The bibliography for the vol- ume is quite large (50 pages and approxi- mately 1,400 citations). The complete bibliography at the end of the final vol- ume will in itself be a significant contri- bution to the scholarship on Spanish art. Selected Reference Books of 1993-1994 417 Although this work may not fulfill every desire for an authoritative bio- graphical dictionary of Spanish artists, it goes much further than any other cur- rently available source in providing authoritative bibliographical and basic biographical information for Spanish artists.-P.G. Storrer, William Allin. A Frank Lloyd Wright Companion. Chicago: Univ. of Chicago Pr., 1993. 492p. $75 (ISBN 0- 226-77624-7). LC 93-30127. The stated purpose of this work is to be a companion, not an encyclopedia, and it lives up to this purpose by documenting in plans, black-and-white photographs, drawings, and commentary, Frank Lloyd Wright's nearly 500 known works built from over 20,000 drawings, including about 100 structures that have been de- stroyed. In addition to identifying each built structure designed by Frank Lloyd Wright or under his direction, the author places the work within a context by cli- ent, by the time and/or place of the de- sign's conception or construction, or by a combination of these. The six-page preface provides infor- mation essential to understanding Stor- rer's approach and presentation of material. Most important to note is that the work features as-built plans and photographs that abide by Wright's rules of composition. The author of The Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright: A Com- plete Catalog (Cambridge: MIT Pr., 1974), Mr. Storrer knows his subject and refers to other books on Wright such as Henry- Russell Hitchcock's In the Nature of Ma- terials (New York: Duell, 1942) and the 12-volume Frank Lloyd Wright (Tokyo: A.D.A. Edita, 1984-1988) by the Taliesin archivist, Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer, in order to explain how this book is different. Arranged chronologically, each entry includes the basic facts of the building, including the following: the author's unique catalog number (Storrer num- ber); a project number (T. or Taliesin number); an identifying name (with the parts necessary for unique identification in boldface type); the date the project first took a form fully identifiable in the final built work; the location of the pro- ject by city and state; and notes on the current status of the original work. Due to the difficulty for some in "reading" plans, plans are not only shown but also described in most entries. As mentioned above, the contextual content of each entry is what makes this work unique. Information on visiting these buildings (where possible) is also included. Entries are interspersed with eight short essays on different phases or as- pects of Wright's work, with titles such as, "Transition from Prairie to Usonia," "Historical Overview of Frank Lloyd Wright's Career," and 18 one-page sets of plans and text with titles such as, "Prairie Vocabulary," and "Basics of Early Wright Design." There are some references to these essays within the en- tries and some essays and plans refer to entries; however, these helpful addi- tions are not indexed. The Frank Lloyd Wright Companion in- cludes extensive illustration credits and a well-formatted directory by zip code, which includes the street address, building name, and Storrer number. Phone numbers for visitor information are listed. The index has entries under client, project (in bold), and geographic name among other access points. With the exception of subject, references are to the Storrer number rather than page number. This comprehensive reference work lacks a selected bibliography that could add value to what is an indispensable new tool for any Wright collection.- K.A.K. BUSINESS Weimerskirch, Arnold, and Stephen George. Total Quality Management: Strategies and Techniques Proven at To- day's Most Successful Companies. The Portable MBA series. New York: Wiley, 1994. 286p. $27.95 (ISBN 0-471-59538- 1). LC 93-24465. The guide derives from the perform- ance criteria for the Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Award and presents a model of integrated corporate quality using data from fifty-three leading U.S. 418 College & Research Libraries companies. Initially the book discusses the methodology of a corporate quality model, and outlines how other sections of the book can be used by managers to measure their business elements. Sub- sequently each of the sixteen major com- ponents of the model is discussed in a separate chapter. These are: leadership, customer focus, strategic planning, man- agement, training, reward and recogni- tion, employee focus, customer contacts, design of products and services, process management, supplier quality, data collec- tion and analysis, benchmarking, corpo- rate responsibility and citizenship, and system assessments. For each of these ele- ments a group of companies (being a sub- set of the fifty-three) is identified whose performance and practices exemplify superior quality and the nature of their success is analyzed. The work is a useful discussion of the strategies and techniques for using total quality management and thus will be of use to all levels of the workplace.-J.C. POLITICAL SCIENCE Eigen, Lewis D., and Jonathan P. Siegel. The Macmillan Dictionary of Political Quotations. New York: Macmillan, [1993]. 785p. $40 (ISBN 0-02610650-7). LC 91-40116. This quotation dictionary is intended to be "a practical tool for the politician, speech writer, journalist, political scien- tist, historian, student of politics, or any- one interested in politics and its effect on our daily lives" -Pref The quotations are divided into 99 topics that are ar- ranged in alphabetical order and cover a broad range of current public issues from abortion to welfare. The editors state that these quotations were selected for their "terseness, the character of the speaker or writer, the use of instructive or unusual analogies and metaphors, the persuasive impact of the quotation, the clear statement of an important princi- ple, the classic framing of issues, con- troversy, humor, surprise, historical parallels, institutional insight, irony, emotion, and inspiration." The quotations come from both his- torical and contemporary sources and, September 1994 although predominantly Anglo-Ameri- can, international sources. The origins are extremely varied: from the Old Tes- tament and Cicero to very recent politi- cal speeches quoted in newspapers, broadcast interviews, bumper stickers, and campaign slogans. Each entry lists speaker, birth and death dates and posi- tions held, source and date of the publi- cation or broadcast, if applicable. All types of historical and contemporary po- litical figures appear-congress people and monarchs, consumer advocates and capitalists. The volume is indexed by author and "concept." The latter helps to locate ap- propriate quotations that appear under other topical headings. The book is not only fun to browse but easy to use when looking for an appropriate quotation. An intelligent topical division and the usable subject index help to locate rele- vant quotations easily.-J.S. The Oxford Companion to Politics of the World. Ed.-in-chief, Joel Krieger.

The Dictionary of Twentieth Century World Politics. New York: Henry Holt, [1993]. 756p. il. $60 (ISBN 0-8050-1976-6). The Oxford Companion aims to provide "a comprehensive guide to international relations and national domestic politics through the world" and to a great extent it achieves its goal in a concise one-volume format. It focuses on the "more enduring themes and issues: the social bases of poli- tics; 'the organizations and institutions of politics at the international and national levels; law, foreign policy, and economic and social policy; the linkage between in- ternational and domestic developments; and the recurring patterns of change in diverse societies .... "-Pref. Over 500 scholars (see the list, pp. xiii- xxxi), largely from American and British universities, have contributed 650 signed articles with bibliographies. Arti- cles fall into ten categories: (1) short es- Selected Reference Books of 1993-1994 419 says on countries, (2) biographies of leaders and intellectual figures, (3) con- cepts (sovereignty, citizenship, political violence, postindustrial society), (4) con- ventions, treaties, and developments in international law, (5) forms of govern- ment and institutions, (6) historical events, (7) international issues (AIDS, anti-Semitism, liberation theology), (8) international organizations (the Roman Catholic Church, EC, OPEC), (9) domes- tic political, economic, and social issues, and (10) twenty-one interpretive essays that provide "major analytic treatments of particularly significant and far-reach- ing themes, such as ethnicity, nationalism, gender and politics, development and un- derdevelopment, war, democracy, class and politics, political parties and environ- mentalism." The majority of articles con- cern the period since World War IT. Many of the articles have useful maps. Following a brief description of its ge- ography, population, and historical background, each of the articles on coun- tries treats the social bases of politics, the political system, socioeconomic policies, internal conflict, and its foreign policy and international relations. There are some minor, inevitable flaws such as typographical errors (puni- tive kinship should certainly read putative), but generally, this is a solidly constructed, professional work that should be a valu- able reference book for all living in this revolutionary world. The volume ends with a good, general index. The Dictionary of 20th Century World Politics, by Jay M. Shafritz et al., offers 4,000 entries and covers some of the same material. Its aim is to be a dictionary of "people, theories and ideas that have impacted and transformed interna- tional politics in the twentieth century ... specifically including political terms found in newspapers and mass-market journals that have not yet found their way into the text of reference and schol- arly books" -Pref. Thus it has many more biographical entries and political events, including international confer- ences, but with briefer treatment. Useful will be the summaries of treaty provi- sions. The volume also features "irresist- ible asides" which might be lists of rul- ers or Nobel Peace Prize winners, a chronology such as the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, a text such as the Aus- tro-Hungarian declaration of war in 1914 or a quotation or speech. The index is a "key concept" list of broad subjects with a list of relevant articles. There is no bibliography. · The Shafritz volume will be used for ready reference, and identification, while the Oxford Companion will be available for much more extended use.-J.S. SOCIAL ISSUES The Blackwell Dictionary of Twentieth-Cen- tury Social Thought. Ed. William Outh- waite and Tom Bottomore. Oxford and Cambridge, Mass.: Blackwell, 1993. 864p. $49.95 (ISBN 0-631-15262-8). LC 92-20837. This dictionary covers the vast area of social sciences, philosophy, political sci- ence, cultural history, and even natural sciences to the extent that they have in- fluenced social thought. It aims to cover this enormous interdisciplinary field through three key elements: (1) major concepts, (2) principal schools and movements, and (3) institutions and or- ganizations that are important either as the sources of ideas or the subjects of study. A collaborative endeavor of many contributors (see the list, pp. vii-xiii), the work treats those key ideas and institu- tions in concise articles that range from half a column to several pages in length. Each article is signed and accompanied by a bibliography of two to ten items for further reading. The articles are ar- ranged alphabetically by topic and fol- lowed by the Biographical Appendix (pp. 727-40), which includes major theo- rists from Adorno to Wittgenstein, and a substantial bibliography of works that have contributed to the shaping of twen- tieth-century social thought (pp. 741- 836). The volume ends with a detailed index.-J .S. Nordquist, Joan. Radical Ecological Theory: A Bibliography. Social Theory: A Bibli- ographic Series, no. 30. Santa Cruz, Calif.: 420 College & Research Libraries Reference and Research Services, 1993. 72p. $15 (ISBN 0-937855-59-6). This power-packed little bibliography should, like its predecessors in the series, prove useful in any academic library, both for students new to the field as well as for those more advanced needing a quick summary of the topic. It begins with a brief overview ·of the field and then lists books and articles on such emerging topics as Marxist and socialist ecological theory and ecofeminist theory. This series, Social Theory, and its com- panion, Contemporary Social Issues, are intended to provide references to topics and individuals that are currently of in- terest to college students, from Michel Foucault, for example, to homelessness. They have been very useful in our li- brary when students are overwhelmed by the amount of material keyword searches produce in current periodical indexes. And their commendable habit of citing works by foreign authors in both the original language and English translation has answered many verifica- tion questions. These series give rele- vance a good name.-M.C. HISTORY DeWitt, Donald L. Guides to Archives and Manuscript Collections in the United States: An Annotated Bibliography.

The compiler is to be commended for the sheer volume of published archival guides that constitutes this reference book. There are 2,062 entries, ranging from guides to an individual manuscript or ar- chival collection, to repository guides, to national archival guides. Reviewers will no doubt find their own pet omissions- mine is Russia in the Twentieth Century: The Catalog of the Bakhmeteff Archive of Russian and East European History and Culture. Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Co- lumbia University (1 DC197). Any arrangement for such a disparate pool of entries would have had its short- comings. The compiler chose a topical approach and arranged the entries un- September 1994 der the following headings: General Col..: lections, Business Collections, Ethnic Minorities and Women, Federal Ar- chives, Fine Arts Collections, Literary Collections, Military Collections, Politi- cal Collections, Professional Groups and Organizations, Regional Collections, Re- ligious Groups, Foreign Repositories Holding U.S. Related Records, and U.S. Repositories Holding Foreign Records or Manuscripts. Not all the headings work equally well. The section under "Federal Ar- chives" devoted to the National Ar- chives, for example, works quite well because one finds there a listing of the published guides to the holdings of the National Archives. However, a subject category such as "Social Science" under the heading "Professional Groups and Organizations" is too imprecise to be meaningful. Its sixteen entries do not begin to do justice to this vast area. The index-name and subject-helps remedy some of the drawbacks inherent in the arrangement, but it is neither thor- ough nor precise enough to help locate all the pertinent information on a topic contained in the work. For example, though the annotations often enumerate subjects covered in the collection or re- pository, these subjects are often not reflected in the index. A case in point: the annotation describing the guide to the Princeton's manuscript collections (#1,113) mentions renaissance manu- scripts, but the index entry for "Renais- sance Manuscripts" omits any reference to Princeton. Moreover, entries such as the archival guides of the Center for Mi- gration Studies (#329) or the guide to the archives of the Scalabrianian Fathers (#1,766), which deals exclusively with the Italian immigrant experience, are not listed in the index under "Italian Ameri- can Collections." This bibliography is a most worthy un- dertaking. Subsequent editions will surely add entries, and will no doubt improve on the arrangement and index.-O.d.C. Encyclopedia of the Confederacy.

This encyclopedia is "directed not only to professional historians and his- tory students but to everyone who ever has occasion to answer a question about the South during the period of 1861 to 1865"-Pref. It is well-illustrated with many period photographs and etchings, together with modern maps of battles and campaigns. The list of contributors includes such noted historians as Anne Firor Scott, who wrote the entry on women; Elizabeth Fox-Genovese, who contributed the entries on Diaries, Letters, and Memoirs; and Women's Education and Augusta Jane Evans. Other contribu- tors are based in colleges and universities throughout the United States (although predominantly in the South) as well as national battlefields and historic sites, his- torical societies, museums, libraries, and archives. Signed entries range in length from several paragraphs to more than twenty pages, and from biographical entries to discussions of topics related to union and disunion, government and politics, the military, the economy, and society and culture. All entries include up-to-date bibliographies of secondary materials. This work includes a synoptic outline of contents; nine appendices list- ing major documents (including the Declaration of the Immediate Cause of Secession, the Constitution, and the various surrender paroles); a subject in- dex; and lists of contributors. Much of the factual information provided could probably be found elsewhere in a major reference collection, but the combina- tion of clear and concise writing, com- pelling illustrations, and up-to-date bibliographies will make this a welcome addition to reference departments of all sizes.-S. S. Magosci, Paul Robert. Historical Atlas of East Central Europe. History of East Central Europe, 1. Seattle: Univ. of Washington Pr., 1993. 192p. il. maps. $75 (ISBN 0-295-97248-3). LC 93- 13783. Students of Eastern Europe will be pleased by word of the release of a new volume in the University of Washing- ton's excellent History of East Central Europe, this one a historical atlas of the region by Paul Magosci, a scholar whose many reference publications include a historical atlas of Ukraine as well. The work fills a gap in the literature admira- bly, with clear, professionally produced maps documenting the history of the region extending roughly from the "eastern linguistic frontier of German- and Italian-speaking peoples on the west [to] the political boundaries of Rus- sia I the former USSR in the east." -Fore- word. Comprehensive coverage is provided for the Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, Hungarians, Romanians, the Yugoslav p·eoples, . Albanians, Bulgarians, and Greeks from the fifth century through 1992, with more selective treatment of neighboring groups included during various periods, particularly Poland- Lithuania or Austria-Hungary. Fullest coverage is given to the ever- changing, widely shifting political boundaries and political units of the re- gion, but other maps, particularly in the sections dealing with the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, document geo- graphic regions, demography and migra- tion, ethnolinguistic distribution, military history, ecclesiastical organization, in- dustrial development, and cultural in- stitutions. An extensive commentary provides a detailed outline history of the region and often provides useful statis- tical and other supplementary data. A clear list of the sources consulted for each map and a more extensive bibliog- raphy are included at the end, along with an index of place names. Naturally, as might be expected in the case of any work this ambitious, there are points over which one might quib- ble. There is, for example, the consistent, anachronistic use of contemporary na- tional spellings for city names, frequently without any indication of the historic form, which can be quite jarring-to say nothing of misinformative--in the case, say of medieval "Kaliningrad" (rather than "Konigsberg"), a diocese of Erm- land with its seat at "Frombork" (rather than "Frauenburg"), or the use of the 422 College & Research Libraries Belarusian spelling "Mohilau" for a town almost never so designated in the historical sources and far better known to Western readers as "Mogilev," "Moghilev," or "Mohilev." Also disap- pointing, for this reader, were the explicit decisions to exclude the territory of con- temporary Latvia and Estonia, whose history was very much part of East Cen- tral Europe's and, even more, the unspo- ken decision to leave out, in most cases, the easternmost and northernmost bor- ders of Poland-Lithuania in the fifteenth through seventeenth centuries. Such considerations, however, are of little consequence compared with the great contribution of such a publication to the literature; It is a work that belongs in every collection that claims to document European history, providing as it does, in a compact, accessible form, coverage of a key region whose complex history is far too little known even by educated readers in this country.-R.H.S. Phillips, Gillian, and Claude Morin. Can- ada's Relations with Latin America and the Caribbean, 1970-1990: A Bibliog- raphy/ Les relations du Canada avec I' Amerique latine et Ies cararbes, 1970- 1990. [Ottawa]: Canadian Association of Latin American and Caribbean Studies, [1993]. 1,172 p. (ISBN 0-969- 72120). First, why the terrible paper which will become very brittle quickly? One can hope that this means that the com- pilers plan frequent updates that will supersede the present edition. The bibliography is based on the col- lections at the University of Montreal and the Canada-Latin America Resource Center in Toronto, supplemented by ma- terials in about 30 additional libraries and information centers in Ontario and Que- bec. It includes citations for over 13,000 books, documents, journal and newspa- per articles, and theses in a topical ar- rangement under the name of a country. For example, Argentina is divided into such headings as Argentinians in Canada, Economy-Debt, Foreign Aid, Human Rights, etc. The documents and articles cited in the French half of the bibliog- September 1994 raphy could be unique and not translated and so would not appear in the English portion. Access could be improved if the table of contents were more detailed. The appendix features a list of coun- tries and regions included in the bibliog- raphy, acronyms used, periodicals and journals indexed, libraries contacted and databases searched, Canadian or- ganizations and agencies involved with Latin America and the Caribbean with addresses, abbreviations, and codes used in the bibliography.-E.M. NEWEDffiONS AND SUPPLEMENTS The Eighteenth Century Short Title Cata- log (ESTC) is an online union catalog on RLIN providing records of publications printed from 1701 to 1800 in Great Brit- ain or its colonies (including the United States), as well as of English-language publications printed during that period in any part of the world (for a longer description see 1AA128). In April some 75,000 records of materials published from 1473 to 1700 were added, necessi- tating a change in name to the English Short Title Catalog. The Center for Bibli- ographic Studies and Research at the University of California at Riverside in conjunction with the British Library will continue to add records until RLIN's coverage of pre-1701 imprints is complete. The records also offer pointers to UMI's microfilm collections, Early English Books, based on the bibliog- raphies of Pollard & Redgrave (AA802, 1AA127) and Wing (AA819, 1AA131). Al- ready items not in these two printed STCs have been identified. Also beneficial are the enhanced searching techniques avail- able on a computerized database, for ex- ample, full titles for keyword searching, as well as provision of locations and shelfmarks. With the lOth edition, Webster's New Coiiegiate DictionanJ changed names to mirror the new name of the publisher: Merriam- Webster's Collegiate Dictionary (Springfield, Mass.: [1993]. 1,559p. $20.95; 9th ed. [1983]. 1563p. AD16). The lOth edition addresses our "ever expanding vocabulary ... [for] words and senses are Selected Reference Books of 1993-1994 423 born at a far greater rate than thatatwhich they die out"- Pref. There are a great many new pictorial illustrations and citations. Much revised are the usage paragraphs that are based on the Webster's Dictionary of English Usage ([1989]. 989p. 1AD30). A first-rate desk dictionary. While preparing for the Third Edition of the Oxford English Dictionary new in- formation is accumulating that the edi- tors, John Simpson and Edmund S. C. Weiner, are now publishing under the title Oxford English Dictionary Additions (vols. 1-2. Oxford: Clarendon Pr.; New York: Oxford Univ. Pr., 1993. $35 each volume). These initial volumes address English throughout the world and offer new headwords, new senses, colloca- tions, phrases. Thus we have such words as unix, virus (as in computer virus), El Nino. Vol. 2 has a cumulative index to both volumes. The Australian Dictionary of Biography has thus far covered 1788-1850, 1851- 1890, 1891-1939 in 12 volumes with a general index ([1966-[1991]. AJ115, 1AJ33). Volume 13, just published (Mel- bourne: Univ. Pr., 1993. 362p. $52), be- gins a new series for 1940-1980, A-De, with 670 entries; it will be in four vol- umes and will portray 2,700 lives when it is complete. Volume 13 has a list of corrections identified since the index was published. The Dictionan; of Cana- dian Biography (AJ143), in contrast, pub- lishes individual volumes covering ten years. The latest to appear is v. XIII (Toronto: Univ. Pr., 1994. 1295p.), which covers 648 individuals who died 1901- 1910, written by 438 scholars. Slovenski biografski leksikon (Ljubljana: Zalo~ila Zadru~na gos. banka) is now complete with the receipt of fascicles 12- 15 for volume 4 and the index, Osebno kazalo (1991. 245p.). Begun in 1925 (AJ399, 1AJ103) the set has long schol- arly articles on noted Slovenians. The name index uses boldface type to indicate major entries. With volume 3, Hrvatski bi- ografski leksikon (Zagreb: Jugoslavenski leksikografski zavod, 1993. 1AJ102) has reached C-D for noted Croatians. When complete, Literatur zur deutsch- spriichigen Presse: Eine Bibliographie com- piled by Gert Hagelweide (Munich: Saur, 1985-1989. 3 vols. 1AE37) will cover the German-speaking press, mostly of Central Europe up to 1970. Volume 4 (1993. 0S2496.) treats the top- ics: Tageszeitung (Presse), Die Zeit- schrift, Almanache und Kalender, Die Presse (Tageszeitung) in Geschichte und Gegenwart (arranged by area). The bib- liography is slated to be in nine volumes, the last to be an index volume. Several periodical and newspaper in- dexes have changed their pattern of publication. With the 1993 issues, the Alternative Press Index (Baltimore: Alter- native Press Center. AE240) is publish- ing quarterly with the fourth issue being the cumulation for the year. Zeitungs Index (Pullach bei Miinchen: Verlag Dokumentation. AF92) is now monthly instead of quarterly. The 1993 issues in- dexes 21 German newspapers including two from Zurich, one from Vienna, and one from the former East Berlin. The Index of Jewish Periodicals (Cleve- land. BB577) has filled in the gaps with the two annual retrospective indexes for 1988 (published in 1992) and 1989 (pub- lished in 1993). The latest index issued covers 1993. It now seems to be an annual. Offering retrospective indexing is An- tisemitism: An Annotated Bibliography, edited by Susan Sarah Cohen and spon- sored by the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Anti-Semitism, Hebrew University of Jerusalem (New York: Garland. 1 BB128). The latest vol- ume received is volume three indexing publications of 1987-88 and published in 1994 (584p. $85). The Bibliographie zum Antisemitismus/ Bibliography of Antisemi- tism is complete with volume 4, the Sa- chregister, compiled by Anije Gerlach (Munich: Saur, 1993. 1,576p.). Charles Cutter and Micha Falk Op- penheim revised their Judaica Reference Guide (2d ed. Juneau, Alaska: Denali Pr. [1993]. 224p. $35; 1st ed. 1983. BB539), increasing the number of citations from 371 to 888 annotated entries. Concentrat- ing particularly on works published af- ter 1975; the bibliography relies on Bibliography of Jewish Bibliographies by Shlomo Shunami (1969. BB565) and its 424 College & Research Libraries supplement (1975) for most earlier ma- terials. The Encyclopedia of World Literature in the 20th Century, Steven R. Serafin and Walter D. Glanze, eds., issued a volume 5: Supplement and Index (New York: Con- tinuum, [1993]. 732p. $150; vols. 1-4, 1984. BD60). This supplement is in- tended to" complement the four-volume Revised Edition by providing enlarged treatment of significant literary writers active during the century and through- out the world ... by focusing on the last decade ."-Pref. There are continuations of surveys of national literatures and discussions of new literary trends or movements. The index covers all of the five-volume set and thus the previously published index in 1984 is superseded; omitted from the index in volume 5 is boldface type to indicate major topics. James L. Hamer, in his Literary Re- search Guide: A Guide to Reference Sources for the Study of Literature in English and Related Topics (2d ed. New York: Modern Language Association of America, 1993. 766p. $45, paper $19.75; 1st ed. 1989. 1BD149}, has revised about half of the entries, deleted superseded works or de- funct journals, and added important new reference tools. It now includes "1,194 entries, refers to an additional 1,248 books and articles in annotations and headnotes and cites 745 reviews."- Pref. The guide also includes discussion of technology, for example, union cata- log databases online. · Part 4, 1800-1900, of the Index of Eng- lish Literary Manuscripts has reached Wal- ter Savage Landor, George Meredith, William Morris, Walter Pater, and Coven- try Patmore with volume 3 edited by Bar- bara Rosenbaum ([London]: Mansell, [1993]. 860p. $500. BD546, 1BD215). The Literary Criticism Index is also in a new edition (Metuchen, N.J.: Scare- crow, 1994. 580p. $62.50). Compiled by Alan R. Weiner and Spencer Means the volume now indexes some 147 bibliog- raphies and checklists of criticism, up from 86 in the first edition (1984. 685p. BD119). The Cambridge Guide to Literature in English, edited by Ian Ousby (New York: September 1994 Cambridge Univ. Pr., 1994. 1,054p. il. $49.95) was formerly published in 1983 as the Cambridge Guide to English Litera- ture (992p. BD554) and again under the present title in 1988 (1,109p. 1BD218). Thi$ new edition is considerably revised and expanded with special attention to- ward increasing the number of Ameri- can and Commonwealth authors. All of the entries have been read by its editors to update, expand, or shorten the entries as necessary. The new edition of Mainstream Com- panion to Scottish Literature, compiled by Trevor Royle (Edinburgh: Mainstream, [1993]. 335p.; formerly Macmillan Com- panion to Scottish Literature, 1983. BD739) updates the earlier work by concentrat- ing on new writers or movements of the 1980s. Also, former entries have been revised when needed and additions made. The bibliographies at the ends of the articles have also been made more current. Unfortunately the dictionary is still not indexed, though there are cross- references. Scholars working in nineteenth-cen- tury French literature have been gifted with the lacking volumes of the Critical Bibliography of French Literature: The Nineteenth Century (Syracuse: Univ Pr., 1994. 2 vols. 1,488p. $225; for volumes published earlier see BD957). The editor, David Baguley, follows the same format as the previously published volumes- that is, scholars assigned chapters on in- dividual authors or genres. The cutoff date is 1989, with a few "particularly significant" later titles added. Name and subject indexes are included. For those interested in the theater sev- eral new volumes and editions have ap- peared. Volumes 15-16 of that labor of love, the Biographical Dictionary of Actors, Actresses, Musicians, Dancers, Ma·nagers & Other Stage Personnel (Carbondale, Ill.: Southern Illinois Univ. Pr., 1993. $60 per volume. BG96, 1BG36), compiled by Philip H. Highfill, Jr., Kalman A. Bumim, Edward A. Langhans, complete the encyclopedia. There has been no mention of an index. Reinhart Meyer's Bibliographia dramatica et dramaticontm (Tiibingen: Niemeyer. Selected Reference Books of 1993-1994 425 1BD295) lists by author German plays of the eighteenth century. Now Meyer has begun a title index, the first three vol- umes covering 1700-1716. Abteilung 2, Band 1: Einzeltitel (1700) includes the list of libraries and abbreviations, a bib- liography of printed sources, and the title index for 1700-those with known authors and those with anonymous ti- tles ([1993]. 498p.SFr198); Band 2: Ein- zeltitel (1701-1708) lists by year those titles with authors followed by anony- mous titles ([1993]. 481 p. SFr198) as does volume 3 (1709-1716. 487p. SFr198). The alphabetizing is typical of this type of German reference book, that is, alpha- betical by the first keyword in the title. An entry includes editions, collections, and occasionally a cast list or summary. Contemporary Dramatists, ed. K. A. Berney, now in its fifth edition (London and Detroit: St JamesPr., [1993]. 843p. $85; 4th ed. 1988. 785p., ed. D. L. Kirkpatrick. 1BD88) has grown to include 450 living dramatists. The editor points out that he has made a special effort to include those writing on very contemporary topics such as AIDS, or "whether it is right to seek revenge for criminal wrongs or to ·erase the memory of suffering."-Pref. The second edition of International DictionanJ of Films and Filmmakers (Chi- cago: StJames Pr.) is complete with the publication of volumes 4-5. Volume 4, Writers and Production Artists, edited by Samantha Cook ([1993]. 836p. $115), treats art directors, cinematographers, costume designers, composers, music di- rectors (and arrangers and lyricists), edi- tors, choreographers, stuntmen, special effects and sound technicians, makeup artists and animators. Sixty-two of the 530 entries are new. Volume 5, also edited by Samantha Cook, is the Title Index ([1994]. 421p. $65) to all the films mentioned in volumes 1-4 with cross-references for al- ternative or English-language titles. The Filmlexicon degli au tori e delle opere (1958-1974. 9 vols. BG239) is an authori- . tative, international film encyclopedia. The publishers have now issued an up- date for the Italian cinema: Sezione Italia: aggiornamenti e integrazioni 1972- 1991 (Roma: Nuova ERI, 1992. 1,092 columns. 81,700 lire). New figures are added and articles from the earlier vol- umes are extended with reference to the earliercoverage. William Safire, in his new edition of Safire's New Political Dictionary: The Defini- tive Guide to the New Language of Politics (New York: Random House, [1993]. 930p. $35), points out that since the third edition was published in 1978 (CJ99), he has seen the "advent of three new administrations, the end of the Cold War, the dissolution of Soviet-type communism."-Introd. His fourth edition reflects these changes and, as always, is fun to browse. Kenneth Martis has compiled a num- ber of very helpful atlases for the study of United States politics, for example Historical Atlas of U.S. Congressional Dis- tricts, 1789-1983 (1982. CJ154); Historical Atlas of Political Party Representation in the U.S. Congress 1789-1989 (1988. 1CJ116). His newest one, compiled with Gregory A. Elmes, the Historical Atlas of State Powerin Congress 1789-1990 (Wash- ington, D.C.: Congressional Quarterly [1993]. 190p. $56.95 27cm.), covers Con- gressional apportionment by decade and geographically through colored maps, tables and charts, and explana- tory text. Some of the material is taken from the Historical Atlas of U.S. Congres- sional Districts, 1789-1983. Scarecrow Press has been publishing the Native American Bibliography Series since 1980 (1CC218). The newest addi- tion is The Seneca and Tuscarora Indians: An Annotated Bibliography, by Marilyn Haas (1994. 450p. $55). This is an exhaus- tive undertaking listing books, chapters and essays, pamphlets, journal articles, theses, ERIC documents, fiction and nonfiction for children, state and fed- eral documents, and "tribally focused pe- riodicals" (Introd.) for1791-1992, mostly in English. The arrangement is by broad subjects with author I editor and subject indexes. Since the Seneca and the Tus- carora were part of the Iroquois nation, the bibliography cites a number of larger works on the Iroquois. . Another series concerning the Native American is the Handbook of the American Frontier: Four Centuries of Indian-White 426 College & Research Libraries Relationships written by J. Norman Heard ((Metuchen: Scarecrow). It is a diction- ary of short articles on the tribes and the explorers, missionaries, tribal leaders, traders, settlers, battles, treaties, etc. who had contacts with each other. Vol- ume 1 discussed The Southeastern Wood- lands (1987. 421p.) and volume 2 provided the same coverage for The Northeastern Woodlands (1990. 414p.) Now volume 3, The Great Plains (1993. [265]p. $32.50), continues the coverage. The set is to be in five volumes with the general index, bibliography, and chro- nology in the final volume. Francis Paul Prucha compiled an ex- tremely useful Handbook for Research in American History (1987. 1 DBl ). In his sec- ond revised edition (Lincoln, Nebr.: Univ. Nebraska Pr., (1994]. 214p. $25; $9.95 paper) the first part for essays and bibliographies of types and formats of reference books is much expanded and rewritten to incorporate the new tech- nologies (the Internet, CD-ROMs, etc.). Part 2 of the first edition, which covered topical bibliographies (e.g., women, social history, chronological periods), has been dropped and some of the citations incor- porated into some of the remaining sec- tions. Still a major guide for American historians. The Bibliography of European Economic and Social History is in a second edition, compiled by Derek Aldcroft and Richard Rodger (Manchester: Univ. Pr., distrib- uted by St. Martin's Pr., New York, (1993]. 292p. $69.95; 1st ed. 1984. DC10). The bibliography covers the period 1700 to 1939 with about 9,000 entries; this is an increa~e of about 3,000 mostly from the 1980s. Similar to the first edition, the volume is arranged topically under the names of the countries, for example, ur- ban history, social structure and social conditions, industry and internal trade. There is an author index. "To conform to the new realities brought about by the demise of the So- viet Union" (p. ii), the editors have changed the title of the Modern Encyclo- pedia of Russian and Soviet Histon; to the Modern Encyclopedia of Russian, Soviet and Eurasian History. The first volume with September 1994 the new title is volume 56 (1994)-an Index of Countries and Authors. Part 1 is an alphabetical list of entries including the Supplement with See References in- cluded; part 2 is an alphabetical list of authors in all the volumes with a list of all their articles under each entry. J. M. Dent, London, has published a number of Martin Gilbert's atlases in new editions, still in black-and-white, and most with little or no commentary. The Dent Atlas of American History, (3d ed. 1993. 138p. £14.99. 27cm.; 1st ed. 1968; rev. ed. 1985) has grown to 138 maps with the 26 new ones bringing the atlas up to date, for example, new ethnic and population changes, including growth of the immigrant population, natural and accidental disasters, death rates, the U.S. overseas. It is instructive to learn what a non-American sees as important. Dent Atlas of Jewish History (5th ed. (1993]. [136]p. £14.99. 26cm.; formerly called Jewish History Atlas, 1st ed. 1969. DA65) has been revised despite a 1992 edition (issued in the U.S. in 1993): anum- ber of new maps (e.g., anti-Semitic inci- dents in Europe 1992, Hebrew language classes in the former Soviet Union 1992); updated maps (e.g., immigration of Jews to Israel, non-Jews honored for saving lives in World War II); and newly added material (e.g., blood libel accusations in the Middle Ages, scale of Jewish resis- tance in the Holocaust). The bibliog- raphy, though, is current only up to about 1986. The Dent Atlas of the Holocaust (2d ed. [1993]. 282p. 25cm. £14.99; 1st ed. 1982; reprinted, 1988. 1 DABS) increased the coverage to 316 photographs, maps,lists with explanatory text, and expanded the index to include individuals and more places. The bibliography, pp. 246-53, in- dicates the map number beside the rele- vant source title. The Official ABMS Directory of Board Certified Medical Specialists must be a cataloger's nightmare. The 26th ed., 1994 though published in 1993 (New Providence, N.J.: Marquis Who's Who, 1993. 4 vols. 8,377p. $390), was formed by the merger of the Directory of Medical Selected Reference Books of 1993-1994 427 Specialists (EK132) and the Official Ameri- can Board of Medical Specialities Directory of Board Certified Medical Specialists (for- merly called the ABMS Compendium of Certified Medical Specialists). These two titles had an earlier merger in 1985. This new directory lists 428,000 practicing and retired physicians within 24 special- ties boards. Also included in the volume are lists of accredited medical schools, state licensing boards, approved spe- cialty boards, general information on each board, and tables of requirements and certification data.
