This second edition of David E. Newton’s handbook on same-sex marriage provides a useful introduction to the topic. including chronologies, statistics, legal documents, and biographical profiles of key players and organizations. When compared with the 2010 edition, it provides a much-needed update on an issue that has seen considerable political and social changes in recent years. While it could prove quite useful to general, high school, and early undergraduate audiences, more advanced researchers may find it to be too broad an overview.
