912 pages, maps, index, ISBN 3-901229-08-6

This comprehensive volume comprises extensive information for everybody working in the field/s of gender & womens studies and/or development. It covers among other topics especially the following (more see below):

• Addresses, Journals, Newsletters, Institutions, NGOs,
• General Bibliographies, and a Bibliography of teaching material and audiovisual media
• List of libraries and databases, maps, author-index, media-index.

This volume 7/8 enlists general BIBLIOGRAPHIES and didactic titles and offers a useful CATALOGUE OF AUDIOVISUAL MATERIALS.

The book gives you a comprehensive list of the ADDRESSES of journals, newsletters, experts, women's initiatives, working groups, organisations, and archives.

It encludes resources in the internet, e.g. World Wide Web (WWW).

So the volume represents an important resource for you when you want to connect yourself to others, or when you are looking for experts, literature or audiovisual media.

The concept of "development" (or "Third" World) here does not only designate the situation and options of women in the developing world and in the former "socialist" countries - especially in modern Central & Eastern European countries -, but is extended to the situation of underprivileged women in western industrialised countries such as exiled women, "guest" workers, foreign and minority women and women in European "fringe" areas (country-women).

In its bibliographic chapters, the documentation is structured by regional & systematic categories. Keywords refering to the texts, review-articles, location of books and distribution addresses are frequently added.

Both the bibliographic chapters as the chapters which represent a directory contain many cross references. This - together with an author-index and a media-index - facilitate searching for particular items. Several maps give you the necessary geographic orientation.
