'The 300 signed articles tell the history of people, events, movements, and ideas, and analyse their importance and influence. The topical articles trace patterns of events and the theoretical threads that tie together revolutions in disparate times and places. Biographies are definitely not worshipful hagiographies ... Analysis of revolutions is even-handed, giving voice to various interpretations of their causes and meanings ... Adding Goldstone's insightful encyclopedia to reference collections will be a prudent rather than a revolutionary act.' Rettig on Reference
