This handbook is a truly remarkable scholarly contribution to the
fields of psychology and education. Reynolds and Kamphaus are leaders
in the field who between them have a developed a number of the most
frequently used psychological and educational tests, and the noted
chapter authors all have impressive publication records as well. While
the first edition was a stellar contribution, the volumes in the second
edition have been improved with extensive updating and revising. A
decade of exciting new research findings are carefully reviewed, and
the latest professional developments incorporated. Encyclopedic in
scope, these well-edited volumes cover virtually every type of
psychological test that can be individually administered to a child.
Additional material on the history of testing, research design, and
ethical and diversity issues, among many other important topics, is
also included. All handbooks strive to be comprehensive, but this one
truly succeeds! All professionals involved in child assessment should
have these volumes at their fingertips.

First of its kind, sure to set the standard for future psychology reference works. Provides psychologists, practitioners, researchers, and students with complete and up-to-date information on the field of psychology. Twelve volumes cover all of the fundamental areas of knowledge in the field. Unlike an encyclopedia, the volumes in this set can stand alone as state-of-the-field handbooks. Together they cover both the science and the practice of psychology broadly and in depth.
Grzimek's Animal Life Encyclopedia: Reptiles (Volume 7)
"Enjoyable reading" is not usually a phrase used in descriptions of encyclopedias, yet these four volumes of the second edition of Grzimek's Animal Life Encyclopedia provide just that. Part of a 17-volume rewrite of the original 13-volume edition published beginning in 1967, these volumes exhibit excellence in writing, organization, illustration, and editing.
Volume 7, Reptiles, is the strongest of these excellent volumes. The contributors' expert knowledge and love of reptiles is evident. The "Order: Crocodilians" section is particularly well written.
