This five volume Encyclopedia of disability represents a landmark in US American and international efforts to establish the study of disability as an interdisciplinary field of knowledge.Volume 1Á4 contains AÁZ entries.The fifth volume contains a collection of what are labeled primary sources, a large number of excerpts from texts both classic and present, and a collection of visual images depicting disability.The general editor of the four volumes is the US American disability scholar and sociologist Gary Albrecht.In this review I would first like to present how this encyclopedia is organized and who the authors are.Secondly, I will look into the content by presenting a set of entries in some detail.Thirdly, I will give a critical discussion of the editor's ambition of creating a truly international view on this body of knowledge
