Recommended for all academic libraries.- --Choice -Leoussi has edited a wonderful collection of lively, informative essays reminiscent of the substantive and enlightening heyday of the Encyclopedia Brittanica.- --Virginia Quarterly Review -This scholarly title does not focus on people or quotations or events, but rather on the main philosophies, concepts, and terms. Its aim is to provide common terminology for discussion and a framework for understanding. This is a good reference book for this subject, and is suitable for the reference collection of all libraries, particularly academic ones.- --American Reference Books Annual
