"This combination bibliography-thesaurus . . . is distinguished by its 'thesaurus-index,' a hierarchical listing of terms that also provides entry numbers for the citations in the first part of the book. These thesaurus descriptors are 'natural language terms' and according to the author provide a means 'with which one can efficiently locate specific information.' The work covers a wide range of topics--e.g., Danish-Americans, grant recipients, and heroin. The introduction explains how to use the book and provides examples from the thesaurus. In addition to the theasaurus-index/subtitle and author indexes are provided. The 578 titles listed were derived from well-known sources . . . and based on their availability as established through OCLC. The author intended this work for an audience of librarians, faculty, researchers, and students in addition to those involved in public policy matters, members of applied research centers and those in the general public interested in current issues. Highly recommended for academic and general collections." - Choice
