Reviews:
-
Turner compiles a comprehensive, nonjudgmental, and readily accessible cross-disciplinary reference to more than 500 terms and concepts (from "Abusive Family Relationships" to "World Views of Lifespan Development") related to the myriad human interaction types from birth to death. This title should be useful in libraries to answer reference questions and to support study in education, human growth and development, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work and sociology. There does not seem to be a comparable reference tool of this magnitude and completeness.

-
Turner's encyclopedia is a source for viewing all aspects of relationships across the life span, between generations and genders, and in many cultures around the world. Arranged in dictionary form and written for both students and scholars, it successfully defines the theories and themes encountered in the study of relationships... Recommended for all levels.
