Dr. Ronald Bolender is a contributor to the December 2007 International Encyclopedia of Social & Behavioral Sciences (2nd edition). His area of expertise is in the classical theory development of "Social Statics." This volume is the first attempt in a generation to map the social and behavioral sciences on a grand scale. Not since the publication in 1968 of the International Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences has there been such an ambitious project to describe the state of the art in all the fields encompassed within the social and behavioral sciences. The International Encyclopedia of Social & Behavioral Sciences comprises 4,000 articles and includes 90,000 bibliographic references as well as comprehensive name and subject indexes.
