    Have you ever actually read an encyclopedia?  I mean all the way through.  No?  Well, I've done it for you -- in fact, two of them -- so don't say I've never done you a favor.  These two specialize in CSR and BE and feature as authors and editors many members of SIM, SBE, IABS, EBEN, various NGOs, and other illustrious figures in these fields.  You'll find reviews of them on my website www.williamcfrederick.com under the dashing title "David and Goliath Meet in the CSR Super Bowl" by clicking on DID YOU REALLY MEAN TO SAY THAT?  The two works are as follows: 
     
        Wayne Visser, Dirk Matten, Manfred Pohl, Nick Tolhurst (eds.), "The A to Z of Corporate Social Responsibility" (Wiley, 2007)
     
        Robert Kolb (ed.), "Encyclopedia of Business Ethics and Society" (SAGE, 2008)
     
    And while (or if) you're at the website, click on PURE BILL for "How to Get Published (and Tenured): A Model".  Very valuable stuff.
     
    As usual, I'd be pleased to hear your reactions -- good, bad, or ho-hum.
