Comprehensive and Concise!
The one-volume Britannica Concise Encyclopedia provides quick answers to everyday questions about history, art, science, and other fields of human knowledge. A comprehensive collection of knowledge in a manageable-sized volume, the Britannica Concise Encyclopedia contains 28,000 articles condensed from the flagship 32-volume Encyclopaedia Britannica.

Containing more articles than similarly priced one-volume encyclopedias, the Britannica Concise Encyclopedia is authoritative, accessible, and affordable.

What you can expect to find:

28,000 entries, condensed from the Encyclopaedia Britannica.

Articles on art, business, history, pop culture, science, and more!

600 new & revised entries including current references to topics like world terrorism, media news, women's rights, and J.K. Rowling.

More than 2,000 photos, maps, tables, and illustrations.

Extended world coverage, from flags of every nation to World Heritage sites.

Easy-to-use A-Z format.

More than 10,000 pronunciations to help with unfamiliar words.

The need for information and the craving
for knowledge are timeless and universal.
The Britannica Concise Encyclopedia
satisfies the essence of both these needs.
This volume represents the distillation of
essential information into a compact and eminently
useful single volume.
This latest version of Britannica Concise Encyclopedia
answers today’s need for a portable, convenient reference
work covering history, geography, the sciences,
religion, sports, entertainment, technology,
and the arts. We hope it will become a favourite
source for helping students with their homework,
for background to news events, for writers and
crossword-puzzle enthusiasts, for solving disputes,
and for random browsing.
This printing of Britannica Concise Encyclopedia has
been broadly revised. Among the 2.8 million words
that make up the nearly 28,000 entries are many
new titles and many that have been updated. In the
16-page colour plates section, you will find the
Foreword
newest versions of national flags as well as a
world map, maps of world religions and population
characteristics, a selection of World Heritage
sites, and a useful world map depicting international
time zones. More than 30 tables catalog
everything from Nobel Prize winners to chemical
elements to popes to the International System of
Units of measurement and their U.S. equivalents.
Many of the more than 190 maps have been
revised, and all of the more than 150 illustrations
have been redrawn. The more than 2,000 photographs
enhance both the appearance and content
of Britannica Concise.
The editors of Encyclopædia Britannica are proud
to present the Britannica Concise Encyclopedia. We
hope that you will consult it often and that it will
both satisfy your immediate need for information
and lead you to the in-depth information of the 40
million words of the Encyclopædia Britannica.
Creating the highest level of reference works has
been our goal for 238 years, and we are pleased to
welcome you to the Britannica family.
