Book References
There are many aspects to book references, but for
now we'll confine ourselves to the three most common types of book:
- Books written by one (or more) authors
- Books consisting of separate chapters written
by different people with an editor
- Books without a specified author
Referencing books written by one (or more) authors
[Author's last name], [Author's first name] [Date published]: [Book
Title]. [Publisher's city]: [Publisher].
Example
Chapham, Christopher 1976: Liberia and
Sierra Leone. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.
If two or more authors have collaborated on writing
the whole book without an editor, you just list their names as they appear
on the book right after each other
Example
Lynn, Leonard and McKeown, Timothy 1988:
Organizing Business Trade Associations in America and Japan. Washington,
D.C.: American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research.
Referencing books with an editor
[Author's last name], [Author's first name] '[Title of chapter or article]'.
In [Editor's last name], [Editor's first name] (ed) [Date published]: [Book
Title]. [Publisher's city]: [Publisher].
Example
Pempel, T.J. and Tsunekawa, Keiichi, 'Corporatism
without labor? The Japanese anomaly'. In Schmitter, Philippe and Lehmbruch,
Gerhard (eds) 1979: Trend Toward Corporatist Intermediation. Beverly
Hills, Cal.: Sage Publications.
Books without specified authors
Some books have no author's or editor's names. They are referenced as
follows:
[Book name] [Date published]: [Name of article or chapter if there is
one]. [Edition if applicable], [Publisher's City]: [Publisher].
Example
Australian Encyclopedia 1996: Deregulation.
6th edition, Terrehills NSW: Australian Geographic PTI Ltd.
