Microsoft Encarta Encarta is not a children's encyclopedia though; it is suitable for junior and high school children, but perhaps a bit much for elementary age kids. Encarta Encyclopedia is available for both Windows and Macintosh, although this review is based on the Windows version. One problem is that Microsoft doesn't have the credibility of an established print encyclopedia series, so some users might be leery of using Encarta for serious research. people.cs.uchicago.edu /~fensterm/pubs/Maroon/Encarta.html   (988 words)

World Book Encyclopedia Deluxe Edition 2004 - Review Corner With its 2004 edition, The World Book Encyclopedia continues to be our top choice for children in elementary school for its streamlined and relevant content, readability, and creative features that nourish children's innate curiosity and desire to learn.

DiscoverySchool.com - Review Corner Many children learn best when their curiosity is ignited, and the suggested experiments in the encyclopedia will help generate interest in the subject of science. The encyclopedia's well-integrated Internet links keep the book contemporary and relevant for today's children whose research efforts generally involve referring to both hard-copy and Internet-based information. Besides offering a wealth of information, it is also a nice starting point for children's research--whether kids are hunting for a topic for their next school project, looking for a summary of a particular science topic, or in need of relevant links to websites for further exploration. school.discovery.com /parents/reviewcorner/books/bkinternetlinkencyscience.html   (948 words)

CM Archive Hurtig himself received letters from parents complaining that The Canadian Encyclopedia was too complicated for their children to use. Hurtig's idea for a junior encyclopedia aimed specifically at Canadian school children aged eight to fifteen was born of an earlier project. It was the first all-Canadian encyclopedia, in three volumes, and carried 500 illustrations. www.umanitoba.ca /cm/cmarchive/vol18no2/thejunior.html   (887 words)

World Book - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Though not called a "children's" encyclopedia, it is marketed as a family encyclopedia, and it recognizes the fact that one of the primary uses of general-purpose encyclopedias is for children working on school reports. World Book Encyclopedia is, according to its publisher in the United States, "the number-one selling print encyclopedia in the world" [1]. Since 1998, in addition to the print and CD-ROM editions of the 22-volume encyclopedia, World Book also publishes an online version called the World Book Online Reference Center [2]. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/World_Book   (433 words)

Siemens: Canadian Literary Awards and Prizes, from The Encyclopedia of Literature in Canada The Literary Awards, with cash prizes of over $4,000, were given for literature in a number of categories, including Short Fiction, Poetry, Non-fiction, and Children's Literature; in later years, there was also a competition for a book-length manuscript, with the genre rotating between fiction, poetry, non-fiction, and drama. Some surnames will appear without proper capitalisation; these instances, odd as they may appear to the eye, flag a cross-reference in the print copy of the Encyclopedia to an individual entry on that author. Launched by the Canadian Authors Association and administered by the CAA until 1971, the awards were at first non-monetary prizes; the prestige of the prizes was complemented by a small cash award of $250 in 1951, to be increased in 1966 to $2,500, in 1975 to $5,000, and in 1989 to $10,000. www.mala.bc.ca /~soules/english/awards.htm   (316 words)

Encyclopedia Brown - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Leroy "Encyclopedia" Brown is a fictional boy detective, the main character in a long series of children's books written by Donald J. Sobol.

National Socialist German Workers Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia By 1923, the Nazi party and the SA stormtroopers were considered almost one and the same with the first Nazi paramilitary ranks, those being the ranks and insignia of the Sturmabteilung, in use. The NSDAP was the main political force in Nazi Germany from the fall of the Weimar Republic in 1933 until the end of World War II in 1945, when it was declared illegal and its leaders were arrested and convicted of crimes against humanity at the Nuremberg Trials.

Feral children in mythology and fiction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Feral children (i.e., children raised by animals) in mythology and fiction are often depicted as having superior strength, intelligence and morals to "normal" people, the implication being that due to their animal upbringing they represent humanity in a wild and uncorrupted state. In the book, Mila is taken to a clinic with other feral children, none of whom adapt to humanity as easily as she does. Abandoned in a Welsh forest at the age of 7, the boy who will become Merlin lives wild for a year as little better than an animal, until a falconer who is used to taming wild things captures him and begins the long and difficult task of re-educating him in human behaviour. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Feral_children_in_mythology_and_fiction   (4012 words)
