[Sca-librarians] Encyclopedia of World History

[Jadwiga Zajaczkowa / Jenne Heise]

Review from the INternet Scout Report:

3.  The Encyclopedia of World History
http://www.bartleby.com/67/

The good people at Bartleby.com have long prided themselves on providing
a host of important works online for the benefit of those seeking online
edification. One of the more recent volumes they have placed on their
site is The Encyclopedia of World History, edited by Peter N. Stearns
and 30 fellow historians. As the preface to this, the sixth edition,
announces: "Simply put, this is a volume that has always intended to
convey the key features of world history". This is no small order, and
this edition represents a substantial revision from previous editions,
as it also reflects the growing body of knowledge about the histories of
regions outside of Western Europe and North America. The encyclopedia is
complemented by a number of illustrative and informative maps, including
ones that visualize India before the Muslim conquest and Italy in the
15th century. Users of the volume are welcome to use the search engine
to find the information they so desire, or they may browse at their
leisure.  [KMG]
