Publisher: ABC-CLIO

Balter, a professor (applied psychology, New York Univ.), author, and popular TV and magazine parenting expert, oversees this sound work, the first in ABC-CLIO's new, six-title "The American Family" reference series. Running the gamut from "Infants, Parenting of" through "Grandparenthood" and from "Labor and Delivery" through "Death of a Child," it includes 234 signed entries from 183 contributors that vary from 100 to 2200-plus words. These provide solid introductions to the topics but little more. Also featured are well-written articles on a variety of influential people, ranging from visionaries like Maria Montessori to popular figures like Theodor Geisel (a.k.a. "Dr. Seuss"). Short bibliographies accompany each article, and as the contributors are academics, these references are scholarly. Cross references are infrequent, but the indexing bolds substantive pages for given topics. On the whole, the articles effectively present the basics of the topic at hand and will mostly aid general researchers. This is recommended for large public and academic libraries needing a concise, A-Z reference, as well as hospitals and large medical groups. Those libraries seeking more definitive and specialized resources should consider Salem Press's five-volume Encyclopedia of Family Life (LJ 4/1/99) and The Gale Encyclopedia of Childhood and Adolescence (LJ 1/98).
