Encyclopedia of the First Amendment
CQ Press helps educate our students and ourselves with an extensive list of U.S. Constitutional resources. Here is one that we have recently purchased for the library: Encyclopedia of the First Amendment. It won the 2008 Booklist Editor's Choice, 2009 RUSA Outstanding Reference Source, and Library Journal Best Reference 2008.
In the first work of its kind, this exciting two-volume reference comprehensively examines all the freedoms in the First Amendment, including free speech, press, assembly, petition, and religion. Encyclopedia of the First Amendment covers the political, historical, and cultural significance of the First Amendment. It provides exclusive, singular focus on what most people consider the essential elements of the Bill of Rights and the basic liberties.
On Constitution Day and any other day, this is a great resource for all of us. We need to know and appreciate the freedoms reflected in this amendment. One of the volumes is in the display case in front of the elevators.
