"...a valuable and important collection of information, and should not be missed" - Encyclopedia review

Note: this review, by the editors of TRANET, appeared in TRANET (Maine, USA) #91, November 1994, page 6.

AN UNDERSTANDING OF GLOBAL PROBLEMS can be found in the Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potential, 4th Edition (UIA, Rue Washington, 40, 1050 Brussels, Belgium). This three-volume, 3,000+ page set is one of the most comprehensive sources of information on world problems and what we can do to challenge them. With over 20,000 entries, the Encyclopedia covers subjects ranging from civil war to oil pollution. It is cross-referenced with over 158,000 links to show connections and relationships between problems, and to enable them to be seen as part of the global problematique. A large portion of the Encyclopedia is devoted to strategies and resources that can be used to combat these problems. This is a valuable and important collection of information, and should not be missed.
