The Age of Revolution

n the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, revolutionary movements toppled monarchies and gave rise to republics in the United States, France, and Latin America. Around the same time, the Industrial Revolution transformed economies, while Russia’s 1917 revolution represented a pivot from this revolutionary era into the modern era. This series explores each of these revolutions, from the prior political, economic, and societal conditions to the grievances that built into an eruption of popular anger and social upheaval. The immediate aftermath and global ripple effects over time are also considered.

Book Review: Heat

“This is an exceptional resource and reference book about the nature of heat, temperature, and thermal energy and how they are alike and different. If you teach thermodynamics in middle school, this little book has the ability to capture the essence of a difficult concept and … make it easy to understand. The format of the book includes pictures, biographies, useful examples, and exciting facts. It uses a no–nonsense approach to learning. The visuals explaining how heat is transferred are especially impressive. … Its real life applications and larger than life format make it a good resource to accentuate learning about heat and temperature.”

The Environment: Ours to Save

arred by pollution and confronted with disappearing habitats, the planet increasingly has become victim to the consequences of human activity. As extinction, global warming, and other factors threaten every organism—including humans— measures are being taken to conserve Earth’s resources and protect its many life forms. By carefully examining the greatest threats to the planet and the steps being taken to mitigate their harmful effects, these volumes will challenge readers to thoughtfully consider their own attitudes toward and treatment of the environment.

“This new series looks at aspects of ecology, including what is happening to the planet and what people can do to help combat environmental concerns. ... The text is simple and straightforward and includes graphs and photographs to clarify subjects. These books would work well in an environmental science class.”

Dynamic Earth

he majesty of the natural world is often tempered by reminders of Earth’s incredible power to destroy. The natural disasters that sometimes devastate entire countries are sobering reminders of impermanence and reveal that our planet, like everything else, is in constant flux. This series explores some of the natural occurrences integral to Earth’s functioning but, in extreme cases, can destroy human life. Along with the science behind each phenomenon, readers learn about major examples and cases that bring home the effects of nature’s awesome power.

Physics Explained

ust as all matter is reducible to the atoms that compose it, every activity—from the commonplace to the extraordinary—can be explained by a physical concept. This enlightening series details every aspect of the field of physics and elucidates not only what we perceive but how we perceive. From the most fundamental components of the atom to the intricate concepts of quantum mechanics, readers will learn about the mechanical, quantitative, and theoretical elements of a subject that has long helped solve some of the most profound unknowns of the universe.

Book Review: The Britannica Guide to Matter

“This book will be most useful to advanced physics students and college students.

Although some of the information is simple, much is very detailed and can be used by graduate physics students.”

The Living Earth

nderlying Earth’s natural beauty is a complex system of ecosystems that contour the planet and host its multifarious life forms. Though stratified by topographical and physiographical features, these regions function collectively to support an incredible range of biodiversity. Symbiotic relationships and environmental conditions that sustain the natural order are the subjects of this engrossing series.

“This series focuses on eight different ecological units and issues. Explanations of climate, physical environments, and biodiversity are explained with great detail. A useful feature is that notable ecosystems, regions, or explorers are highlighted in each book. This series can be used to supplement classroom materials for further research.”

M

inerals and rocks are remnants of the planet’s most ancient history and custodians of its geologic secrets. While a great deal remains to be discovered about Earth’s origins and the earliest stages of its development, much of its past is indelibly chronicled in the inorganic material that comprises its surface and transforms its landscapes. These intriguing volumes examine the basic components of the planet— from topographic landforms to the molten rocks at Earth’s core—and the geologic processes that affect them, as well as the various disciplines dedicated to deciphering these relationships.

Impact on America: Collective Biographies

T

he formation and growth of any country involves a complex symphony of political, social, and cultural movements orchestrated by impassioned individuals. Some seek the betterment of their society while others are intent on making a more personal mark.

Between the discovery and settlement of the land, the Reconstruction era, and beyond, the United States saw many such actors, including those who fought for the right to govern themselves during the American Revolution and those who fought for states rights and the emancipation of an entire race in the American Civil War. These captivating volumes survey the lives of the political figures and social revolutionaries that shaped early U.S. history.

uring the hot summer months of 1787, delegates from the American states met in Philadelphia and created a new framework of government, called the United States Constitution. While the delegates recognized the need for a strong executive to govern the United States, they did not want an all-powerful monarch who might become a tyrant. Instead they created three branches of government—the executive, the legislature and the judiciary—each with specific powers, and each with the power to check and balance the other.

In Article II, the Constitution spells out the powers of the President, the Chief Executive of the United States. They include the power to make treaties with foreign governments and to appoint ambassadors, federal judges and other officials—but only with the consent of the U.S. Senate. The President is also Commander and Chief of the nation’s armed forces, but can only declare war with the approval of Congress. In 1789, as a result of the first presidential election, George Washington became President of the United States and John Adams, his Vice President. Washington named a small group of political leaders to his cabinet, including Alexander Hamilton, Secretary of the Treasury; Thomas Jefferson, Secretary of State; and Henry Knox, Secretary of War. The Constitution specified that the President’s term of office should be four years, although it did not state how many times a president could run for re-election. Washington chose to run in 1792 for a second four-year term. After winning the election, he retired at the end of his second term, setting a precedent followed by other presidents until the 20th century.

Under the Constitution, a president and vice president are not elected directly by the American voters. Instead, they vote for electors in their states, who, in turn, elect America’s two top executives. According to the

Ancient Civilizations

ur modern world with its conveniences and technology can at times blind us to the great accomplishments of the ancient world. While technological advancement may seem to be the hallmark of modern society, many of the conveniences we enjoy in the present are iterations of precedents set by ancient peoples. Accompanied by stunning images, these engaging volumes capture the dramatic ascension and decline of some of the most sophisticated empires and civilizations in recorded history.

“The series includes colorful photographs and images of artifacts depicting societies, life, architecture, and people of our ancient predecessors. … these volumes read more like stories than encyclopedia articles. Each volume contains contact information for related museums and special collections.”

A History of Western Civilization

efore spawning the dual—and sometimes dueling—behemoths of democracy and capitalism that have become integral to much of the Western world, the European continent was largely comprised of disparate villages, city-states, and kingdoms, with little to unite them. Over time, political, social, and economic philosophies emerged to transform kingdoms into empires. This engaging series takes a broad look at the events, movements, and ideas that created and sustained the countries of Europe, from prehistory through the Renaissance, from the modern era to the present European Union.

The Ascent of the West: From Prehistory Through the Renaissance

• Plentiful use of images emphasizes the significance of influential art, artifacts, and individuals throughout the ages • Detailed sidebars supplement the scholarly and accessible narrative text • Covers historical and current events The Emergence of Modern Europe: c.1500 to 1788

Even as we contend with the travails of daily life, we are constantly confronted with issues of moral import.

The Qur’an

chapter 2 God’s Word to Humanity

The Qur’an is the central theophany (divine manifestation) of Islam. Although most modern Muslims know it as the Holy Qur’an, many of them still refer to it as alQur’an al-karim or al-Qur’an al-majid, which can best be translated as “the Noble Qur’an” or “the Glorious Qur’an.” Composed in Arabic, Islam’s sacred liturgical language, the Qur’an is untranslatable. The name Qur’an is derived from the term al-qur’an, meaning “the recitation.” The scripture has many other names, each of which suggests an aspect of its significance for Muslims. Among those found in the text itself are al-furqan (“discernment”), umm al-kitab (the “mother book,” or “archetypal

T

here is something of the soul of the Prophet Muhammad in the Qur’an, the holy book of Islam that tradition holds was originally a sonorous revelation from God imprinted upon the Prophet’s heart and only later written down. If the text of the Qur’an is comparable to words heard by the ear, the soul of the Prophet is like the air that carries the sound and allows it to be heard by humanity. According to a famous saying from him (known as hadith al-thaqalayn), Muhammad said that, when he departed from the world, he would leave behind two precious gifts (thaqalayn): the Qur’an and his family. When asked by his wife ‘A’ishah how he should be remembered after his death, Muhammad replied, “By reciting the Qur’an.” The very subtle relationship between the Qur’an and the Prophet causes Muslims to feel his grace (barakah) whenever they read the Qur’an, which they nevertheless understand to be the pronouncement to humanity of the Word of God revealed through the agency of the archangel Gabriel to Muhammad, a pious but unlettered person, and uttered verbatim by him to those around him.

Native American Tribes

A

s indigenous peoples of the “New World,” Native Americans had established working societies long before Europeans arrived on the shores of North America. Each tribe had its own unique identity even as it shared certain traditions, customs, means of sustenance, housing patterns, and beliefs with neighboring groups in a given culture area. Each volume digs beneath the surface of more than 25 tribes to examine what life truly was like for American Indians before, during, and after European settlement.

The Britannica Guide to Religion

O

Judaism

ffering both personal fulfillment and practical guidance, religions often comprise a complex interplay of theology, history, mythology, moral philosophy, and ritual. As many religions spread across the globe, they evolve over time and assume new cultural hues, thus creating “lived religions” whose practices, while anchored in their doctrinal foundations, blend in various facets of local traditions and beliefs. The key events, ideas, literature, figures, institutions, and customs central to the spiritual life of two such faiths—Christianity and Judaism—are considered in depth in these insightful volumes.
