Description: With the world's knowledge increasing at an ever accelerating rate, few skills are more important than the ability to use reference works. The Harver Junior World Encyclopedia is designed to help young people develop this skill at an early age.
Planned and written by a team of experts in many fields of knowledge, the Harver Junior World Encyclopedia answers thousands of questions about science, history, geography, the arts, and the lives of famous people. Almost every page contains at least one photograph, drawing, diagram or map, and most are in full color. All have been specially chosen to illustrate the most important aspects of the articles in which they are included.
Like more expensive encyclopedias, the principal topics of the Harver Junior World Encyclopedia are arranged in alphabetical order. Often an entire article will be devoted to a subject that has excited a child's interest because he or she has discussed it in school, or seen something about it on television, or read about it in a book or magazine. At other times, the index in the last volume will guide the reader to one or more different articles that contain the necessary information.
Many of the articles include cross references to other articles that have more information on related subjects. It is a good idea to read these other articles because the extra background information often makes the first article even easier to understand.
Families will also find that it is fun to pick up any volume of the Harver Junior World Encyclopedia and begin to read on almost any page. Parents and children can discover together that practically any subject can be fascinating when it is clearly and interestingly explained.
We hope all our readers will enjoy the world of knowledge that is presented in these pages.
