"A useful reference volume for undergraduate students." -- Choice - January 1999
"Highly recommended for public, school, academic, and health science libraries." -- E-Streams - June 1999
A useful reference volume for undergraduate students.
–Choice, January 1999
Highly recommended for public, school, academic, and health science libraries.
–E-Streams, June 1999
There is no other one-volume reference work on AIDS that covers the amount of information contained in this work. I strongly recommend that all public and academic libraries, as well as high school libraries, purchase this book.
–Reference & User Services Quarterly
This volume is unique because of its multidisciplinary approach to HIV/AIDS. Well organized, well researched, and well written, it is also without competition.... The Encyclopedia of AIDS is perfect for reference (academic, public, and high-school) collections. It is also recommended for personal libraries.
