This encyclopedia, complete within the covers of this single volume, gives you a survey of essential knowledge in alphabetical order, placing every article at your fingertips ready for instant reference. Each main entry is in large bold type setting it off from the text so that the eye picks it out immediately. Few persons can possibly keep in their minds all the multitudinous array of facts confronting us on every side today. One cannot read half a column in a daily newspaper without coming face to face with names and words about which more information would be enlightening. This handy encyclopedia has been designed and edited to meet this need. In it the everyday reader can find concise and easily understandable explanations of such widely diversified subjects, to mention but a few, as Bolshevism and Dictatorship, Soviet and Nazis, Strike and Unemployment, Bonus and Income Tax, G-Men and Capital Punishment, Federal Emergency Relief Administration and Federal Reserve System, all of which come frequently into the news and into current conversation. Here you can learn the life stories of such prominent persons as Roosevelt, Hughes, Hitler, Edward VIII, Mussolini, Haile Selassie, Stalin, Trotsky, Chiang Kai-shek, etc., as well as the important figures of the past. Do you know what the Nobel Prize is, where Manchukuo is, who has been honored with the Pulitzer Prize, what the tallest buildings and the largest ships in the world are, what were the seven wonders of the world, what is meant by inflation and deflation? You can find the answers to these and thousands of other questions in this one book. Not only for home use, but for ready reference in connection with studies in school or college, this encyclopedia will be found helpful. It gives the primary facts about each subject, and covers practically every field of human knowledge. It is, in short, many dictionaries in one: a dictionary of biography, of the Bible, of mythology, of medicine, of re- ligion, of famous events and famous places. For example, if you are curious about how this day comes to be known as March 2, 1937 (or any other date), you may look up Calendar and Roman Calendar, Month and Week, and the names of the months, to find out of your wish to ascertain on what day of the week any certain date of past or future was or will be, you need only refe week the entry Perpetual Calendar.
