Encyclopedia of Quaternary Science
Quaternary science plays an integral part in such important issues for modern society as groundwater resources and contamination, sea level change, geologic hazards (earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis), and soil erosion. With over 360 articles and 2,600 pages, many in full-color, this work provides broad ranging, up-to-date articles on all of the major topics in the field.
This monumental encyclopedia makes an astonishing contribution to our understanding of human evolution, human culture, and human reality through an inclusive global lens. These interesting five volumes will be important in explaining humans as biological and cultural beings, not only to academic anthropologists but also to all the natural anthropologists who constitute our human species.

The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics Online
While some classic articles from the 1987 ed. were retained, around 80% of the text is either entirely new or substantially rewritten to reflect the depth of change within the discipline between the editions. This new edition retains the inspiring tradition of bringing together the world's most influential economists writing in their own voice on their areas of expertise, but in its online incarnation it has married this tradition with the benefits of a dynamic, updated resource serving the information needs of a new generation of economists.
