Although offerings of reference materials in anthropology have expanded (thankfully) in recent years, Barnard and Spencer's encyclopedia (now in a second edition that has grown by 200 pages) is still the best one-volume reference source on social and cultural anthropology. The signed and cross-referenced topical entries fit into five main themes: ethnographic surveys, the history of the discipline, sub- and related disciplines, concepts and methods, and important areas of study within social and cultural anthropology. This encyclopedia includes name, subject, and people/place indexes, as well as a substantial glossary. Updates to the 1996 edition (CH, Mar'97, 34-3635) reflect the expansion of the discipline over the last 14 years and include over 40 new entries on topics such as feminist anthropology, anthropological ethics, Japanese anthropology, and counterinsurgency. Also included are over 60 new short biographical entries and expansions and updates to previous entries and bibliographies. Unfortunately, the price has increased along with the page count. Not all libraries will be able to afford this valuable resource, but even those not building their anthropology collection will want to consider it if enough faculty and students are interested. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Academic libraries supporting programs in anthropology; lower-level undergraduates and above. A. Pippitt Millikin University
