Summary: A fascinating and useful reference work
Comment: "The World Almanac and Book of Facts 2004" packs a lot of information into its 1008 pages. The book is well organized and easy to use. Included are three separate indexes: an extensive general index, a quick reference index, and (on the back cover) a quick thumb index. The book covers information in many different areas: the U.S. government, world history, religion, science and technology, sports, etc.
The almanac is full of interesting and timely features, such as the following: a review of the top news stories of 2003; profiles of major party U.S. presidential candidates; a special section on the "Baby Boom Generation"; and a year in review chronology. Internet surfers will find a treasure trove in here; the book includes Web addresses of U.S. government departments, international organizations, sports organizations, U.S. and Canadian religious groups, major U.S. business corporations, and much, much more.
There is also a color section with maps and pictures of the flags of the world. Other interesting features: a glossary of computer and Internet terms; a special section on Antarctica; a sidebar article on the seven wonders of the ancient world; a list of words new to the English language; and much more. I consider this book to be an essential reference source for work, school, home, and library.

Summary: more facts than the last one
Comment: there are so many facts here. I haven't read them all, but there seem to be a lot more than in the last edition. they are really a lot that opens your eyes to hugeness of the world in which we all humans live.
Rating: 1
Summary: a good compilation but historically inaccurate at critical
Comment: points. The problem with this reference manual is in certain points when it has to give a history, you have actual misinformation, they say certain leaders were elected when they didn't allow real opposition or the book takes sides in conflicts to the end of offering "balance" at the expense of accuracy. A real problem in a book that couldve been better
