Oxford and Boston, (21st June 2010) - Credo Reference, the award winning
online reference library, has signed an agreement to integrate four key
reference books from Zed Books into the Credo General Reference collection.
These are the first titles from Zed Books to be made available on Credo.
Zed Books has published more than 1,000 non-fiction titles over the last
three decades on topics as varied as trade, gender, aid, environment,
government and development studies. The books emphasize progressive social
goals including social justice, human rights, effective democratic
institutions, international equity and environmental integrity. With this
new agreement, Credo Reference users will be able to access the high-quality
content in these four titles:
. The Development Dictionary: A Guide to Knowledge as Power
. The Anti-Capitalist Dictionary: Movements, Histories, and Motivations
. The Dictionary of Alternatives: Utopianism and Organization
. Poverty: An International Glossary
"Our commitment as a quality non-fiction publisher is to books of
intellectual distinction and originality; books that embody Third World and
internationalist perspectives, interests and commitment; and books that
relate to neglected issues of all kinds and to disadvantaged social groups,"
commented Anneberth Lux, Zed Books' Sales Manager. "We're excited that these
important works will now be available to a much larger audience, through
integration into Credo Reference's vast collection of thoroughly
cross-referenced entries."
"It's a goal of ours that the reference works available through Credo
Reference are representative of a balance of ideological thought and
perspectives," added John Dove, Credo Reference President. "The best
students are those that seek out a variety of views on the important issues
in their field of study. We're pleased to welcome Zed Books and feel that
students of political science will find these books provide an original and
intellectually distinctive voice."
