第一篇 How to Find the Best Book Reviews
Normally, you will want the sources for a paper to be the best ones possible. Since there is a great deal of material available on most subjects, you don’t want to waste your time reading an inaccurate or superficial book. It is sometimes wise, therefore, to first evaluate a book for accuracy and thoroughness. If you are unfamiliar with the subject of executive power, for example, you may wonder whether or not the book President and Congress; Power and Police, by L. Fisher (1972), will be a good source of information. The essayist way to find it out is to read some reviews of the book.
Book reviews appear in almost every newspaper and magazine. To quickly find the reviews you want, use a reference book such as Book Review Digest. Beginning in 1905, its editors annually compile (编辑) book reviews from about seventh-five periodicals (期刊) and newspapers and need to know two things to use this tool: the year the book was published and the correct spelling of the author’s name.
A reference book with slightly broader coverage (覆盖面) is Book Review Index (1966-). In it, however, summaries of the reviews are not included. A newcomer, Current Book Review Citations (引证), is even better for books published from 1976 on, since it indexes the book reviews that are listed in many major periodicals, indexes. One caution (警告) when searching for reviews in this : if you don’t find one under the year a book was published, look at the following year or years. Reviews like college students, sometimes fall behind in their writing schedules.
