In the "Religion" section, several pages on Islam contain a time line of history, the plan of a mosque, prayer positions, a world distribution map, a calendar, and pictures of sacred objects. A few topics not amenable to illustration, such as literature, consist mostly of lists. Most sections contain glossaries and brief biographies.
Access is through a color-coded table of contents and three indexes: "Topic Finder," "Word Finder," and "People Finder," which indexes the more than 2,000 biographies. For example, a user wanting to find information on the alphabet would go to the "Word Finder" and be directed to entry 3136.

This attractive book is recommended for researchers, writers, students from middle school on up, and those who will enjoy browsing through it just for fun.
