by Maureen Croteau, Wayne Worcester

Fifteen sections cover "Government," "Politics," "Law," "History," "Science, Medicine and Technology," "Access to Information," "Technical Vocabularies,"
"Mathematics," "Disasters," "The Journalist's Notebook," "Quick Census Figures," "Religion," "Getting Around," "Popular Culture," and "Sports." Sections contain
chronologies, glossaries, biographies, bibliographies, addresses and telephone numbers for contacts, and lists and/or charts. The authors try to balance the presentations with worldwide coverage, not only American and European.
Examples of contents include a section on politics that includes a glossary, a summary of major political scandals since 1923 (including Iran-Contra with a separate emphasis on Watergate), a description of traditional voting blocs, a list of political parties, an explanation of the presidential electoral process, and lists of political campaign slogans. The section on science, medicine, and technology has lists and descriptions of elements and common chemicals, illegal drugs, prescription and nonprescription drugs, common toxic chemicals, nuclear power (with a glossary and addresses of nuclear power plants in the U.S.), a history of aviation, astronomy facts, a meteorology glossary, and frontiers of science (AIDS, superconductors, nuclear fusion, space, and genetics).
