"This new four-volume SAGE set fills a gap in reference
collections... Large public libraries and academic libraries
serving programs in pharmacology or interdisciplinary studies in
social medicine or public health will likely want to acquire this
reference resource."
*CHOICE*
"The coverage offered in these four volumes is comprehensive and
thorough and the information provided in the articles is factual,
straightforward, and written in a style suitable for both
undergraduates and the informed lay reader... (The Encyclopedia) is
another high quality resource from SAGE Reference... Academic
libraries, as well as those supporting medical and nursing programs
would do well to give it serious consideration."
*Against The Grain*
"The editor and contributors are scholars with academic
affiliations. They have created a work with 800 signed alphabetical
entries that include bibliographies. The entries cover a wide range
of topics that illustrate the breadth of the discipline…This is a
unique guide offering a comprehensive overview of one of the
world’s major industries. It will be a useful addition to the
collections of academic libraries supporting programs in the health
sciences, business, and the social sciences."
