Amazon.co.uk

Sometimes the old ways are the best. Sure, the Internet is a bottomless well of information, but anyone who's spent a frustrating hour or two trying to find a specific fact in that well recognises the value of a well-organised reference book. The World Almanac and Book of Facts 2000 will tell you what you need to know in a minute or less, thanks to the comprehensive contents list, and thumb index. Business, astronomy, science, politics, geography and sports are all thoroughly covered, as well as highlights from 1999 and a special millennium section including top-ten lists from the past 1,000 years. A thought-provoking lead essay from Robert Reich on the struggle between technology and tribalism sets the stage for the rest of the book. Maps and demographic information give insight into the changing world, lists of organisations and personalities help us navigate the news, and the pages of data on everything from classic films to silver production are good for term papers and bar bets. Browse through the book and you're sure to find yourself stopping, reading, and learning. What do those TV ratings boxes mean? What is the order of succession to the presidency? How many people have AIDS worldwide? It's all here, for a lot less money than one month's internet service, in The World Almanac and Book of Facts 2000. --Rob Lightner

Format:Taschenbuch
If there is any fact that you want to look up, this book has it right here at your fingertips. It covers a wide variety of interests from sports to politics, from entertainment to demographic information and statistics.There is a full-color section in the middle with maps and flags. It is well organized with a thorough index, and it is easy to find the information you are looking for. This would be a good book for adults as well as children. This is a great reference book that we buy each year in our family(it is updated on a yearly basis). I recommend it to all!

The 1024 pages World Almanac 2000 is real bonus. It contains a lot of valuable information.

My only criticism is that the Almanac has a real bias towards "American information".

As it is a "World Almanac", the editors should understand that non-American readers would like to see that it has a broader base. I'm sure the editors will rectify this shortfall in the next edition!

The World Almanac 2000 is 1024 pages of facts and reference information on economy & business, astronomy & calendar, noted personalities, science, internet, computers, states of the U.S., travel, health, nation of the world, sports and more. The World Almanac 2000 provides brief, accurate information on an endless array of subjects. There is also a special section: the 20th century in pictures, an exclusive 16-page feature.

I am using The World Almanacs during some last years. For the most information in one source The World Almanac remains the champion. This is one of the most great and useful reference book of facts I know.
