Biographical Dictionary of Social Welfare in America. Trattner, Walter I., Greenwood Press. Publication Date: 4/22/1986.
This book complements the existing literature on social welfare by providing biographical sketches of some 300 prominent Americans who were active in social work or other related endeavors. Women and minorities are well represented; excluded are theorists, philanthropists, and persons still living. The contributors are professors and researchers from the fields of social work and history and demonstrate the crossdisciplinary nature of the subject matter. Most entries are concisely and clearly written, contain relevant remarks about the person's importance in the history of social reform and social welfare, and include a list of current sources for further information. Although about half of the individuals are covered by the Dictionary of American Biography, most university and college libraries will want to purchase this volume for the increased coverage of individuals active in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s; for the critical comments about their lives; and for the updated biographical and bibliographical information.

The author is objective in her treatment of controversial subjects. There is extensive cross-referencing, as well as a comprehensive 65 index and a very complete bibliography. Average-quality black-and-white photos and illustrations, identified and explained by long captions, supplement the text.

Most of the content consists of nuts and bolts political science terminology as well as names linked with ideas or concepts, e.g., Marxism/Leninism. As always with this kind of work, it is amusing to see what is in and what is not: the foreign terms ost politik and detente are included, but not casus belli ; the Organization of American States but not its African equivalent (Organization of African Unity); hegemony makes it while imperialism is left out. Compiled by two Welsh academics and written in an engaging style, this dictionary is right up to date regarding events in Central and Eastern Europe.

The Macmillan Dictionary of Political Quotations. Lewis, Eigen D., and Jonathan, Siegel P., MacMillan Publishing Company, 1993, ASIN: 0026106507.
Although not the first dictionary of political quotations, this is certainly one of the best. Its breadth of coverage is impressive, and its arrangement allows easy access to more than 11,000 quotations. Ninety-nine chapters present topics from Abortion to Welfare and much more in between. Subjects we might expect to find in such a work are well represented, for example: Freedom and Liberty, Liberals and Conservatives, and Slogans and Mottoes. Some topics, however, go beyond the bounds of the typical book of political wit and wisdom: Flags, Housing and the Homeless, and Terrorism and Terrorists. Within each chapter, quotations are arranged alphabetically by author, and source citations are provided for nearly all. There are indexes by author and concept. References in both are to chapter and quotation numbers, not to page numbers, thus allowing for almost instant access to individual quotations.

There are politicians' views on political events, quips about other politicians, thoughts on the presidency, the British monarchy, Europe, economics, warfare, and the state of society, as well as deeper political truths.
