Merriam Webster's Collegiate Encyclopedia
Amazon.com
There are times when a dictionary definition simply does not suffice, but one hasn't the time, inclination, or industry to work one's way through an extensive encyclopedia entry. Enter the desk reference. Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Encyclopedia is no larger than your average collegiate dictionary, yet it packs enough punch to make one feel, if not fluent in a subject, then certainly conversant. Gone are the days of dry, just-the-facts-ma'am desk encyclopedias. This one, created in cooperation with Encyclopaedia Britannica and with the assistance of 25 academic consultants, has personality. The entry for Fassbinder, for example, goes beyond merely listing his nationality, dates, and films. "Defiantly homosexual and provocative," it tells us, "he led an outrageous life and died from a drug overdose at 36." The nighthawk is so exceptionally described that one can almost hear its "sharp nasal call" and the whirring sound it makes when it dives during courtship. The 25,000 entries are illustrated by more than 1,650 photographs, drawings, maps, and diagrams. And, at nearly 1,800 pages, this volume is surprisingly not unwieldy; a spectacular addition to anyone's reference arsenal. --Jane Steinberg

Encyclopedia of World History
Designed to meet the standards of major curricula and the National Standards for World History, this encyclopedia explores the globe through beautiful illustrations and expertly written text. A distinguished group of academic historians has contributed and authenticated more than 6,500 A-to-Z entries that present a chronology of people, dates, and events over the past 12,000 years. Special attention is given to the regions of Central and South America, Africa, and Oceania areas often omitted from history encyclopedias.
The encyclopedia recounts the stories and struggles of human society through a multiple range of themes, including demography, agriculture, warfare, religion, government and politics, science, art, and the environment. Elaborately executed maps, along with illustrative photographs, tables, and sidebars, provide a superb visual reference for high school and college students, researchers, and general readers.
