abstract: While reviewing Joan Luckmann and Karen Sorensen's latest edition, I was reminded of an old tutor who when presented with a hefty study or project by one his students used to throw it on his desk, wait for effect, and then comment 'Hmmm...about the right weight.' This edition, like its predecessor, is not only hefty but 'the right weight' in the sense that the old tutor always meant - its range and scope of content. The sheer volume of content remains impressive indeed.
