Oxford English Corpus claims to give us the fullest, most accurate picture of the language today. It represents all types of English, from literary novels and specialist journals to everyday newspapers and magazines and from Hansard to the language of chatrooms, emails, and weblogs. And, as English is a global language, used by an estimated one third of the world's population, the Oxford English Corpus contains language from all parts of the world - not only from the UK and the United States but also from Australia, the Caribbean, Canada, India, Singapore, and South Africa. It is the largest English corpus of its type: the most representative slice of the English language available. See for yourself --I'm not so sure.

The Social Science Encyclopedia / edited by Adam Kuper and Jessica Kuper
London [England] ; New York : Routledge, c2004

Ref H41 .S63 2004

This is the 3rd edition of this compilation which though many updates and articles bring things well forward from the last 1986 edition, this 2-volume set elicited no reviews from any reputable sources. You be the judge, but it should serve well for many cogent articles on key new and expanding areas of investigation in the social sciences.

Handbook of Child Psychology / editors-in-chief, William Damon and Richard M. Lerner
Hoboken, N.J. : John Wiley & Sons, c2006

Ref BF721 .H242 2006
