Synopses & ReviewsBook News Annotation:Organized year-by-year, comprises deftly written entries on a myriad
facets of history, art and literature, science, and popular culture.
Each entry includes at least one reference forward or backward to a
specific year and entry on a related subject or theme. Expert page
design allows clear presentation of some 2,500 well-chosen images.
Supplemental features include essays by the likes of Stephen Jay
Gould, Mary Gordon, and Sir Arthur C. Clarke; contemporary texts
selected to illuminate an event or an aspect of the culture pertinent
to each year; lists of births and deaths; capsulized stories of
international interest and of specifically American interest; and a
few lines of tiny print at the foot of each page summarizing
significant events and data. In short, this encyclopedia is a good
browse and reference, impressively well-planned and executed; it will
no doubt be periodically brought up to date beyond its current ending
year of 1993. A CD-ROM has reportedly been published in conjunction
with the book.
