HAIM GORDON is Professor of Education at Ben Gurion University in Israel. His previous books with Greenwood include Make Room for Dreams: Spiritual Challenges to Zionism (1989), Naguib Mahfouz's Egypt: Existential Themes in His Writings (1990), Sartre and Evil: Guidelines for a Struggle, (with Rivca Gordon, 1995), and Fighting Evil: Unsung Heroes in the Novels of Graham Greene (1997).

Gordon's dictionary is badly needed, since no substantial dictionaries have appeared since the early 1970s, and those earlier dictionaries are limited….The entries are informative yet concise, are written and signed by academic experts, provide brief lists of references and have extensive cross-references printed in uppercase…. This dictionary provides the thorough reference source…. It is highly recommended for all academic collections, especially for undergraduates and advanced students investigating the influence of existentialism on culture and thinking.
