Commemorating its 50th year, the Information Please Almanac for 1997 promises to be the most exciting edition ever. With more than one million facts, specially commissioned articles, and award-winning photographs, this reference of choice continues to be the ultimate browser's reference for discriminating readers. Thoroughly revised and updated to reflect changes in every subject during the past year, this new edition sets the standard among almanacs for comprehensiveness and readability. Complete election results, expansive Olympics coverage, and new essays – on the Bosnian peacekeeping operation, the fastest-growing job markets, and others – are only a small taste of what will surely be the most engaging Information Please Almanac yet.
Nearly as wide as it is tall, the Information Please Almanac is crammed with just about anything and everything you might care to know. The major religions of the world are summarized, followed by what's new in reverse mortgages. There's a geography section, this year in pictures, and a crossword puzzle guide with common crossword tricks (3-letter word for blackbird: ani). There are thumbnail sketches of countries of the world, and U.S. states and cities, sports personalities, colleges and universities, and a resource guide that's worth the cost all by itself. This book will become the most thumbed reference on your shelf.
