Susan Sprecher, Harry Reis. Encyclopedia of Human Relationships. Newbury Park: Sage Publications Inc., 2009.

This book/encyclopedia of three volumes offers a very vast ammount of information on various topics. From impacts of abortion on a relationship to marriage, etc. This is an excellent encyclopedia but may not be the best choice for everyone because it is a very expensive set, if you can get a hold of one in a library though, that may be your best bet. The author has other books about the psychology of people so he most likely knows what he is talking about and makes for a reliable source.
