A FONT OF INFORMATION

Perfect for dormitory rooms, home offices and libraries, this essential volume is affordable, accessible, and authoritative. Created in cooperation with Encyclopedia Britannica as well as a host of academic consultants, Merriam Webster's Collegiate Encyclopedia is a one volume treasure of information. It holds more than 25,000 entries covering every facet of scholarship and discipline, such as the arts, business, geography, history, literature, medicine, philosophy, pop culture, religion, science, technology, and up to the minute info regarding computers. Pursuing an area of interest is easy with alphabetically sequenced listings, and 70,000 cross references which lead to additional data. A pronunciation guide with some 10,000 words increases fluency and self-confidence. Graphics heighten interest with photographs, maps, diagrams, and tables, thereby enriching awareness as well as learning. True to its reputation of producing high quality reference materials Merriam-Webster again offers a first-rate volume.
