Rather than running from A to Z, this popular reference arranges its answers by subject: the earth, plants and animals first, then races and peoples, the nations of the world, language and literature, science and invention, the human body, biography, and a section for children. Entries explain things plainly, from the Swiss referendum and initiative to the workings of the natural world.
