"....There are close to 300 articles making up these two volumes
exploring the individual elements of group processes and intergroup
relations, as well as where they merge. These articles cover broad
categories ranging from theory and methodology to individual areas
of interest... The diversity of the individual article coverage is
impressive. The entries are steeped in scholarship and written by
experts in the fields of social psychology, sociology, and
organizational behavior.... The authors are successful in writing
in an accessible style easily grasped by undergraduates and
informed lay readers.... The Encyclopedia of Group Processes and
Intergroup Relations is a title that has multi-disciplinary
relevance. Undergraduates in fields as diverse as business,
psychology, and sociology among others, could find themselves
leafing through its pages."
