New Reference Library titles for November 2012
Six brand new titles are now available to purchase from the Oxford Reference Library! Hot on the heels of the US election, Oxford Reference now offers even more authoritative content in the areas of American and comparative politics, plus fascinating and scholarly works on archaeology and South Asian Christianity. In addition, a new collection of humorous quotations will keep you entertained with witty quips and sharp one-liners, and a volume of political quotations brings together words of wisdom – and things that might have been better left unsaid.
- The Oxford Dictionary of Humorous Quotations (4 ed.)
- The Oxford Dictionary of Political Quotations (4 ed.)
- The Oxford Companion to American Politics
- The Oxford Companion to Comparative Politics
- The Oxford Companion to Archaeology (2 ed.)
- The Oxford Encyclopaedia of South Asian Christianity
