Science is perhaps the biggest category covered, encompassing physics, astronomy, chemistry, the environment, mathematics, the life sciences including many entries on animals, plants, and minerals plus hundreds of entries on technology (inventions, machine parts, and so on). There are literary terms, artistic movements, architectural styles, musical periods. Religion and mythology, medicine and health, sports and entertainment, politics and the law—all are covered here. The Encyclopedia also offers an attractive page layout, with hundreds of black-and-white illustrations, plus a sixteen-page color map section. Its compact trim size makes it fit neatly in any convenient space on a desk or on the kitchen counter—ready whenever you need fast information.

reviewed The American desk encyclopedia on August 12, 2013 The American desk encyclopedia
In the 70s, ghosts still existed and many of the stories of the supernatural presented here seemed, at the least, plausible. We had a copy of this on the bookshelf when I was a kid and I read it cover to cover and back again a few times. Of course, most of the stories have dated in a somewhat delightful manner -- especially the section dealing with predictions of the future, which has repeatedly failed to deliver me the comfortable life in an underwater city it promised -- but I'm not giving it five stars just for nostalgic purposes. The historical adventure stories were snappy and would still fire up kids' imaginations today, and even as a fully-grown rationalist the story of the Faces of Belmez still gives me the willies. Keep an eye out in your local thrift stores.
