Each book in The Reference Shelf brings together more than 20 important articles from a wide range of national publications, exploring the subjects people are talking about from multiple perspectives. Reference Shelf titles are the perfect starting point for extended research: each provides abstracts of 20 to 30 additional articles and a bibliography of other sources.

In addition to the 2005, 2006, and 2007 Reference Shelf titles (see links to the right for details), these backlist titles are also still available at $50 each ($55 each outside the U.S. & Canada)
