Review :
."..clean, uncluttered, and usually informative. ...this is a remarkably accomplished piece of scholarship by diverse hands. For its asking price, no library should forgo its purchase." ARBA ."..Overall this is an authoritative, thoroughly modern, attractively printed compendium, bargain priced, which will make a timely addition to any library's shelf, and a useful home companion as well." Library Journal "A valuable addition to reference collections." Wilson Library Bulletin "This is a terrific one volume, one-stop reference, handy when you need that particular fact right now and don't want to go any farther than the stack of books you keep by your desk....Completely revised and updated to be the most comprehensive single-volume encyclopedia available, this truly international tome provides a succint and readable guide to the facts, issues, events, beliefs, ideas, and achievements that constitute the sum of human knowledge." Amazon.Com "Thousands of enlightenments....The reader can learn how a clock works, complete with line drawing; observe the anatomy of waves; examine a detailed cross section of the human heart; and follow the nitrogen cycle...generously scatters maps throughout the text and supplies thumbnail biographies of almost everyone worth knowing since Adam."
