such as the impact of advertising and peer pressure on appearance, making this encyclopedia of interest

audience. The editor-in-chief is a well-regarded and media-savvy expert in the field and will bring together
a distinguished editorial board. As a first-of-its-kind reference for the field, this encyclopedia will be a
unique addition to the collections of academic and public libraries alike.
The encyclopedia will be a two-volume work consisting of approximately 120 articles in 1,750 pages.
