Great for Middle-school Students!

I have used this one-volume encyclopedia for the past three years in my 8th-grade U.S. history classes. It is colorfully-illustrated and well-written. Entries are short enough not to overwhelm the midddle-school student, but they are long enough to give fairly complete information. Though I use it as a reference source, many students have enjoyed just reading through this encyclopedia. Also, with its clear entries and useful pictures, the encyclopedia is a very good resource for Limited-English students.
