The A To Z of Everything is a unique publication. Nothing as
comprehensive has appeared before. Ranging from Abbreviations to the
Zodiac, some of its sections stand up in their own right as reference
works: the section on Music encompasses more information than many
specialist books; the section of Cinema includes all films of general
interest ( and the first and last films of a multitude of stars); the
section on History includes a detailed chronology of world history with
every major event listed; and the section on Geography is perhaps the
only work to include a fully comprehensive list of 'Capitals of the
World', even those of uninhabited Pacific islands. The section on Famous
People, including their pseudonyms and middle names, is second to none
in its thoroughness.
In this new edition, the original topics have been
brought up to date, added to and elaborated upon: Abbreviations, for
example, now include an essential array of chat-room acronyms; Fashion
boasts a list of British Hairdressers of the Year; and Music features a
comprehensive list of every Top Ten single in the last forty years. And
there are a wealth of new subjects to be discovered and enjoyed too,
from the many and varied Top Tens of 2002 to Miss World winners, bingo
calls to crime and punishment, the Mr Men books to the characters of
Charles Dickens.
This monumental work of reference is a must-have title
on your bookshelf - both to dip into and a cornucopia of sheer fact.
