Review
I cannot praise the work too highly: Its vast scope and readability make the encyclopedia a great success. -- Robert Dickau

Impressive...I found it very interesting and spent time reading about a variety of topics for which I had very little background or knowledge...A valuable source of information... -- W.E. Schiesser, Lehigh University
