The way in which civilizations have thought about the theft of creative works has changed throughout history, and this new bibliography compiles and annotates the literature documenting those changes. Anderson's stated purpose is to provide a starting point for those researching plagiarism and related issues. To that end, she includes over 600 annotations of works written between 1990 and 1995. The bibliography is arranged in chronological order, with entries indexed by author, title, and subject. Anderson's substantive introductory essay provides cultural and historical contexts for the ways we define and punish plagiarism. She explores the role of money and profit motives in shaping the world view of the theft of creative property. Anderson, automated services librarian at Del Mar College, Corpus Christi, TX, teaches courses on copyright and the Internet. Her scholarly and engaging compilation will be valued in academic collections.?Joan Pedzich, Harris, Beach & Wilcox, Rochester, NY
