Reviews for Encyclopedia of AIDS: A Social, Political, Cultural, and Scientific Record of the HIV Epidemic

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. -- Booklist/RBB A useful reference volume for undergraduate students. -- Choice Highly recommended for public, school, academic, and health science libraries. -- E-Streams 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
