Reviews
--Christopher Mitchell, Institute for Conflict Analysis & Resolution, George Mason University in PEACE AND CONFLICT
the Encyclopedia is a thoroughly impressive work, well written, well organized and well presented. As a starting point for newcomers to
the field, as a useful aid to those already involved but seeking to broaden their range of knowledge, as a useful guide to any non-scholars
seeking information about what peace and conflict studies has currently to say about many important topics, it is thoroughly admirable.
At times, reviewers can only revert to cliches to summarize a work's contribution but, in this case, it is true that this is a work that
no library of any program on peace studies, conflict research or dispute resolution can afford to be without."
--CHOICE
"This mammoth set is a fascinating undertaking. It has well-written and well-researched articles, excellent cross-references, and a good
index. The cast of contributors is truly impressive...the articles range widely (e.g., the impact of television on children, alliance
behavior, the concept of evil, violence toward homosexuals) and because of the contributors' varied backgrounds, are variously based
in anthropology, sociology, ethics, politics, and psychology, to mention a few. [It is] recommended highly for all academic libraries."
--COLLEGE AND RESEARCH LIBRARIES
"The Encyclopedia of Violence, Peace and Conflict is an ambitious work, superbly executed (not a bad start)... It is clear that
much thought has gone not only into the content, but also into the organization of the work. Comprehensiveness, diversity of viewpoint,
scholarly rigor, clarity of presentation, and ease of access are the hallmarks of this encyclopedia. For this reason, it is of great
value not only to students of the field, but also to practitioners and the generally curious."
