From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. An encyclopedia (also spelled encyclopaedia or encyclopædia) is a comprehensive written compendium holding information from either all branches of knowledge or a particular branch of knowledge. Encyclopedias are divided into articles with one article on each subject covered. The articles on subjects in an encyclopedia are usually accessed alphabetically by article name and can be contained in one volume or many volumes, depending on the amount of material included. Indeed, the purpose of an encyclopedia is to collect knowledge disseminated around the globe; to set forth its general system to the men with whom we live, and transmit it to those who will come after us, so that the work of preceding centuries will not become useless to the centuries to come; and so that our offspring, becoming better instructed, will at the same time become more virtuous and happy, and that we should not die without having rendered a service to the human race in the future years to come. — Diderot OverviewFrom Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License What is a good kid friendly encyclopedia of animals? Q. My son is almost three and is fascinated by animals. He already knows all the household, barn and most zoo animals and is constantly wanting to know more about them and learn about new ones. I would like to get him a good encyclopedia with lots of pictures. It doesn't have to be a child's book as he already knows about all the basics, but I do want to get him one with lots of full colored pictures and general information - what they eat, where live, etc. I live in a very rural area and don't have any good bookstores around so something I can order online is ideal. If you know of any websitesI could show him that would be great too. Thank you! Asked by pebble - Mon Jan 29 10:45:25 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Try these. It says 5 and up but my daughter was like that too, (still is at 11) and he can at least look at the pictures!

I have found people selling them on Ebay for $15 per volume. However, is there any way I can contact libraries around the country or schools to see if they will donate them? Any suggestions?

I think it's something like freecycle.com. You can check and see if one has been set up in your community. (I read about this about a year ago but I'm sure it's still around.)
