The Canadian Encyclopedia Year 2000 Edition

The Canadian Encyclopedia Year 2000 Edition. Complete, unabridged, expanded, and updated. Features a red and blue cover. Book overview This edition of The Canadian Encyclopedia is the largest, most comprehensive book ever published in Canada for the general reader. It is COMPLETE: every aspect of Canada, from its rock formations to its rock bands, is represented here. It is UNABRIDGED: all of the information in the four red volumes of the famous 1988 edition is contained here in this single volume. It has been EXPANDED: since 1988 teams of researchers have been diligently fleshing out old entries and recording new ones; as a result, the text from 1988 has grown by 50% to over 4,000,000 words. It has been UPDATED: the researchers and contributors worked hard to make the information as current as possible. Other words apply to this extraordinary work of scholarship: AUTHORITATIVE, RELIABLE and READABLE. Every entry is compiled by an expert. Equally important, every entry is written for a Canadian reader, from the Canadian point of view. The finished work – many years in the making, and the equivalent of forty average-sized books – is an extraordinary storehouse of information about our country. This book deserves pride of place on the bookshelf in every Canadian Home.
