Synopsis

The backbone of the inaugural volume is the 1,000 pages of country guides, which in the cases of the US and Britain are broken into smaller geographical units. The other sections look at millennium insights on various selected sciences; international organizations; large scientific facilities; a comparison between Japan, the US, and the European Union; and obituaries. One reprints David Jones' column Daedalus in Nature magazine for the year. For each institution, the guide identifies origin, leadership, activities, finance and human resources, and headquarters information. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
