Title: Wish They Would Update It
Review: I bought this family encyclopedia on clearance for approximately ten dollars maybe a decade ago. It has been opened on numerous occasions. I now have it in my classroom for my sixth graders to use. The encyclopedia has beautiful Hammer Equal Area projections in the inside covers. The projection in the front is a political one, and the one in the back is a physical projection. This one-volume encyclopedia contains over 13,000 entries and 1,500 color illustrations in over 750 pages. This includes over 2,500 biographical entries. The back of the encyclopedia contains a ready reference which includes a profile of the Earth, peoples and countries, science and numbers, leaders, sport, signs and symbols and general information. Keep in mind that this book was published in 1997. Despite that, it is still a very useful and attractive resource.
