ENVS 490: Anthropological Perspectives on International Development & Health

Professor:  Liz Olson

Reference books are a special subset of Pelletier's collection. Here you will find specialized  dictionaries, encyclopedias, handbooks, and other materials that provide authoritative background information on your topic.

 Here is a sample:

Encyclopedia of anthropology

Routledge encyclopedia of social and cultural anthropology [electronic resource] 

Encyclopedia of medical anthropology [electronic resource] : health and illness in the world's cultures / edited by Carol R. Ember and Melvin Ember  (highly recommended!)

Immigration and asylum [electronic resource] : from 1900 to the present 

Country Studies (from the Library on Congress)

 World Factbook (CIA)

Conducting research is a complex process.  Developing a list of terms and relationships among those terms is part of developing a research strategy.  Reading background information may help you refine the questions you ask and may lead you to related questions as well.

Credo Reference is a good place to start.
