Diversity encompasses a broad range of human differences, including differences in ability and disability, age, education level, ethnicity, gender, geographic origin, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic class, and values.

This three-volume encyclopedia provides human services students, professors, librarians, and practitioners the reference information they need to meet the needs of an increasingly diverse population. **Features:** * 600 signed entries are organized A-to-Z across three volumes. * Entries, authored by key figures in the field, conclude with cross references and further readings. * A ReaderÔÇÖs Guide groups related articles within broad, thematic areas, such as aging, community mental health, family and child services, substance abuse, etc. * A detailed index, the ReaderÔÇÖs Guide, and cross references combine for search-and-browse in the electronic version. * A helpful Resource Guide guides students to classic books, journals, and web sites, and a glossary assists them with the terminology of the field. Available** **in both print and electronic formats, **Encyclopedia of Human Services and Diversity** is an ideal reference for students, practitioners, faculty and librarians.
