Great reference for home or school!
I'm a high school social studies teacher and encountered USBorne books at a teacher workshop. They are very informative and vibrant texts. The internet-linked versions are wonderful. They include numerous links that accessed through the USBorne website, not the book. This allows for dead links to be eliminated and new links to be added (even more than are mentioned in the book). The pictures are ...

Usborne Books, 2006

Cross between encyclopedia and coffee table book.
This book is child friendly without feeling young. Attentive, interested elementary kids would enjoy it without it seeming too educational, and yet it would help even high schoolers understand their studies. I use it for home schooling. It has a way of explaining complicated biology in a way that children understand, without dumbing down the process. It's interesting enough to keep a kid's ...

A wonderful resource for the history students library
Not only does this Encyclopedia look impressive on the bookshelf, but it is quite impressive in content as well. On opening this 400 page hard covered book, it oozes tactfully and beautifully layed out illustrations and photographs from start to finish. This Encyclopedia covers the Mesopotamian World, Ancient Egypt, Ancient, Archaic and Classical Greece and the Roman World giving you historical ...

Dictionary of Mathematics (Collins Dictionary)
Its a dictionary! What else is there to say? Well the definitions are readable and understandable but I still wish I could find a mathematical source for definitions that are first presented in non mathematical terms and then mathematical terms.
