  Now in its fourth edition, the bestselling A TO Z OF EVERYTHING is a unique publication. Nothing as comprehensive has appeared before. With subjects from Abbreviations to the Zodiac, some of the book's sections almost stand up as reference works in their own right: the section on Music encompasses more information than many specialist titles; the section on Cinema includes all films of general interest (and the first and last films of a multitude of stars); History includes a detailed chronology of world events; and the section on Geography is perhaps the place to find a fully comprehensive list of 'Capitals of the World', even those of uninhabited Pacific islands. The section on Famous People, including their pseudonyms and even their middle names, is second to none in its thoroughness. In this new edition, the original topics have been brought up to date. This monumental work of reference is a must-have title for your bookshelf - a pleasure to dip into and a cornucopia of fact.

  As with the second edition, the new A TO Z of Everything has been updated and added to (and corrected). New material for this edition will include a Politics section revised and enlarged in the wake of the General Election and, by popular demand, a section on the derivation of phrases and sayings. Other additions include sections on county flowers, Jane Austen's characters, and the National Parks of England, Scotland and Wales. The dedicated Current Affairs section will be revised to cover the two-year period since publication of the second edition. The Music section now lists all UK No. 1 singles since 1959. (Trevor works every day of the year to ensure that the book is as up to date as possible on publication). This ever more monumental work of reference is a must-have title for your bookshelf - enjoyable to dip into, and a sheer cornucopia of fact.
