  Intended for home, school or office, this compendium of knowledge groups together facts from a wide range of sources, and on a wide range of subjects. The tenth edition includes many new sections, covering topics such as international political figures, the world's major companies, abbreviations, alphabets, famous scientists, pop-music personalities, and the information superhighway. Each chapter is international in its approach and appeal - except the last one, which has entirely British information. The chapters on the life sciences and physical sciences have been completely rewritten, and in the international section there are new maps for all the countries of the world.
