Reviews the book, Encyclopedia of children, adolescents, and the media (Vols. 1 & 2) edited by Jeffrey Jensen Arnett (see record 2006-23536-000). The Greek term for encyclopedia means all the available knowledge about a topic or field of study. These two volumes then admirably fulfill that meaning. The editor relied on an editorial board of acknowledged experts in their respective disciplines and on literally hundreds of contributors for as many entries from A to Z. He should be congratulated for what I consider a labor of love. Entries are listed alphabetically. However, entries are also classified and cross-indexed according to sections that include Advertising, Advocacy Groups, Books and Print Media, Computers and Electronic Media, Cross-Cultural Perspectives, Developmental Stages, Gender and Sexuality, Media Education, Media Effects, Media Use, Movies, Music, Public Policy, Research Methods, Television, Theories, and Violence and Aggression. Each entry is also documented with a list of further readings relevant to that entry. Every public and academic library should have this encyclopedia on its shelves. Developmental psychologists, personality theorists, social psychologists, and even play therapists would benefit by consulting entries that are particular to their practice, teaching, and research interests.
