    I wasn't sure were to put this.

    I do not know how to put a book review in the Bibliography and Endnotes of my term paper. I found something like this over the Internet:

    Fox, S. W., 1959, Review of the book The Biological Replication of Macromolecules: Journal of Chemical Education, v. 36, p. 706A.

    I do not have to write the author-of-the-book's name?

    Should I treat it like a normal journal article and write Endnote like this?

    S.W. Fox, "Review of the book The Biological Replication of Macromolecules," Journal of Chemical Education 36, (year): 706A.




    -----------------------------------------------

    Please do not treat me like an idiot, I know how to write a Bibliography and Endnotes in my native language, but I have to write this paper in English and the rules are different in English.

    MLA, thank you very much, I'm going to look for the answer on the website you mentioned.

    I know Chicago style and I am using it, but they do not mention how to treat a book review.

    Oxford Style
    Guide to Referencing the Oxford Style
    Using Print and Electronic Sources



    University policy is that all faculties must use either Harvard (AGPS) or APA styles, as defined by the Library&#39;s referencing guides, unless academic staff teach and administer another style of their own choice.

    Please contact the appropriate academic staff member to clarify any Oxford referencing issues you may have.



    Book [by Author(s)]

    In Bibliography:

    GIBBS, Graham. Teaching students to learn: a student-centred approach. Milton Keynes, Open University Press, 1981.

    As Footnote:

    G. Gibbs, Teaching students to learn, Milton Keynes, Open University Press, 1981, p. 280.

    Book [by an Editor]

    In Bibliography:

    Philosophy of education. Edited by R.S. Peters. London, Oxford University Press, 1973.

    As Footnote:

    Philosophy of education, edited by R.S. Peters, London, Oxford University Press, 1973, p122.

    Article in an Edited Book

    In Bibliography:

    HIRST, P.H. What is teaching? in PETERS, R.S., Philosophy of education. London, Oxford University Press, 1973.

    As Footnote:

    P.H. Hirst, What is teaching? in R.S. Peters, Philosophy of education, London, Oxford University Press, 1973, p. 30.

    Journal Article

    In Bibliography:

    KHOO, G.K. Accounting for leases. The Chartered Accountant in Australia, 46(5): Nov. 1975: 19-23.

    As Footnote:

    G.K. Khoo, Accounting for leases, The Chartered Accountant in Australia, 46(5): Nov. 1975: p. 20.

    Reference Cited in Another Work

    In Bibliography:

    REICHMANN, W.J. Use and abuse of statistics. London, Penguin, 1964.

    As Footnote:

    J.B. Morton, Diet of thistles, Cape, cited in W.J. Reichmann, Use and abuse of statistics, London, Penguin, 1964, p. 92.

    Later References

    If referring for a second time to a previously cited work, it is not necessary to repeat all details in full. Include enough information to identify the work and other information such as page numbers.
    Examples:

    *
    Second reference to a different part of the same book - G. Gibbs, p. 100.
    *
    Second reference to two books by the same author already cited- G. Gibbs, Teaching Students to learn, p. 200.
    *
    G. Gibbs, Student teaching, p. 60.

    There is an older, Latin style of later referencing. The following list of terms is included for your convenience.

    *
    ibid., p.22 = same author and work as cited in the footnote immediately preceding, but different page number.
    *
    Gibbs, op. cit., p. 82 = work cited by this author in a footnote earlier, but not immediately preceding.
    *
    Gibbs, loc.cit. = work and page number by this author cited in an earlier footnote.

    The Bibliography at the end of your assignment should be in a clear logical order. It is usual to list everything in an alphabetical sequence by author&#39;s surname; in the case of an editor by the title of the book. Journal articles are treated as a book.[/b]
    The broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying. These people know only too well how to use falsehood for the basest purposes... Adolf Hitler

    Damn... if only stuff like that had been around when I was in jr. high/high school. Could have saved me a few trips to the library as I could pretty much remember what I read, but not necessarily where I had read it.

    Of course, these days, what with inflation and that jazz, I might have had to charge more than $5 for an &#39;A&#39; paper.
    Ayuh, not dead yet. Might change that with an S1000RR though
