Kurzbeschreibung
Who is the ancient Greek goddess of love?
Who said "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee"?
What was the Iron Curtain?
What's the difference between ROM and RAM?
Where is the Alamo?
Why are we asking you all this?
Because you should know. Yes, you should actually be able to answer all these questions, because chances are your classmates can. CultureScope answers these questions and more. It will show you how all the facts you learned in high school, the programs you watch on television, the music you listen to on the radio, the movie you're planning to see Saturday night, and daily events interrelate to form our modern culture.
For example, you might think Thomas Edison, the Internet, and The Iliad have nothing in common. They do. CultureScope shows you how to make the connection, with challenging quizzes, "hypertext" cross-referencing, and (if your brain is still hungry) lists of movies, books, art, and music you should check out if you want to know more.
So take this book home and learn about everything from Spartacus to SPAM.

Great organization of max. info. for the high school student
17. Juni 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
This book does a great job of covering a general overview of information from a wide variety of areas that (should be!) of interest to the high school student. If they're not interested in this type of information, they may well be by first cracking open the book. Well planned, interesting, inter-related information, but not in that "usual" information format. One thing leads to another and you're learning! Others in the family will probably pick it up and get involved in it if it's just laying around the house. You may have to make reservations for it an hour at a time. ENJOY! Life is knowledge.

I have both the college and the high school editions. Wonderful, clever, fun books! I have two degrees from Stanford, and consider myself well educated, but still get a ton out of this!
PLEASE UPDATE THIS SERIES, PRINCETON REVIEW!

Good Cursory Resource
16. Dezember 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
I have had "Culturescope" for a few years. I refer to it, on and off, for several reasons...one of which is when I know I will be with a group of people involved in an area or profession about which I know nothing or little.
For this purpose, the book offers material for conversation starters, the ability to ask pertinent questions, and for assessing changes in an industry or profession. (I also enjoy trivia, and this is a good source for information.)
As an educator and writer, the book is a good jumping off point for questions to stimulate learning, as well as a guide to some basic information, precluding the need for indepth research. (For example, I needed only a few terms related to horses, and found the meanings behind Dam, Sire, Gelding, The Call, and Oatburner without digging through volumes on horses.)
It has information for practically every level of learner, from grade school children on up.
The reason I am writing a review after having the book for so long is, I was looking to see if the staff of Princeton had done an update since the 1995 edition.
I look forward to a new one.
