World Book Introduces The World Book Encyclopedia 2010

Chicago (Vocus) January 29, 2010 -- With more than 4,000 expert contributors, advisers, editors, and researchers collaborating to ensure articles are understandable, accurate, and reflect current scholarship, the newly published World Book Encyclopedia 2010 (http://www.worldbookonline.com/sales/products?id=10034) includes thousands of new and revised articles across all disciplines and topics.

“World Book continues to set the bar for reference information,” said World Book Editor in Chief Paul Kobasa. “In school classrooms and media centers, public libraries, and at home, millions of people rely on World Book reference sources in print and online for the reliable, accurate information they need.”

Highlights of the 22-volume The World Book Encyclopedia include new and expanded articles on topics ranging from health, such as binge eating and the swine flu, to entertainment, including rock music and television, to civil rights, including the Emmett Till case. Among the many biographies added to the new edition are Cuban leader Raúl Castro, basketball star LeBron James, Canadian political leader Michael Ignatieff, U.S. first lady Michelle Obama, Supreme Court justice Sonia Sotomayor, and musical entertainer Kanye West.

Recognized by Booklist as “a first choice for libraries, schools, and homes,” The World Book Encyclopedia content is carefully crafted to make sure it is appropriate to a wide range of readers and clearly and consistently written. Features and tools, such as outlines and timelines, make the content even more useful and enhance retention. More than 27,500 rich photographs and illustrations deliver additional information and visual understanding.

For 2010, “Portraits of Greatness” is The World Book Encyclopedia SPINESCAPE® binding. Chosen in a poll of book lovers everywhere, it displays iconic figures and fascinating people who have affected human thoughts and deeds throughout the ages. It was a decade ago that World Book first introduced the unique SPINESCAPE, which uses the binding of the 22-volume set as a continuous image to visually draw readers to the excitement of the information contained within.
