Someone gave me this one-volume encyclopedia as a graduation present. I guess it's
just one of those things people feel will enrich a person's
college experience. And in a way, I guess the book really has improved my life.
After all, I no longer have access to the out-of-date set of
encyclopedias on the bookshelf in the guest bedroom at home, and it's a long cold
walk to the Rock. Granted, this encyclopedia only has a paragraph or two for every
entry, but it is the self-proclaimed "Best Desk
Encyclopedia".
