World Book is a tool for learning-a general encyclopedia that tells about people, places, things, events, and ideas. It provides accurate information that is easy to understand and easy to find.

You may come to your encyclopedia for the answer to a particular ques-tion, such as "How high is a badminton net?" or "What is the population of Haiti?" Or you may seek general information for a school assignment. Parents and young people, when they plan together for the future, often come to World Book to find out about the possibilities in various careers. And, of course, many people like simply to explore World Book, letting one topic lead them to another. Browsing or skimming through the encyclopedia is an enjoyable way to pick up interesting information on many subjects.

All articles, generally called entries in World Book, are arranged alpha-betically, volume by volume and subject by subject. Included in this alphabetical arrangement are also thousands of entry cross-references. Cross-ref-erences are explained in detail later in this section.

All entries that begin with the letter "A" are found in Volume A, everything that starts with "B" is in Volume B, and so on throughout most of the set. In some cases, entries that start with two or more consecutive letters of the alphabet are combined in one volume. Or, a single volume may not be large enough to hold all the articles that start with the same letter. In such cases, entries starting with the same letter are divided between two volumes. For example, World Book articles that begin with the letter "C" are contained in two volumes-C to Ch and Ci to Cz.

In most instances, World Books alphabetical arrangement of articles and cross-references will enable you to find the information you are seeking.

However, if you do not find the information, turn to Volume 22, the Research Guide/Index. Its more than 150,000 index entries provide access to the wealth of information in World Book.

Volume 22 also includes an instructional section titled A Student Guide to Better Writing, Speaking, and Research Skills, and more than 200 Reading and Study Guides. These features have been designed to help students assigned a written or oral report and those needing assistance in finding a report topic.

For information on these features and on using the index, see Volume 22, the Research Guide/Index.
