An Encyclopedia for Every Subject
Find your subject, find an article
Every subject has one or more encyclopedias devoted just to that subject. Here are a few examples of subject encyclopedias:
- Encyclopedia of Philosophy
- New Dictionary of the History of Ideas
- Dictionary of American History
- Environmental Encyclopedia
- Encyclopedia of Food and Culture
- Encyclopedia of Sociology
- Encyclopedia of Community
- Encyclopedia of Human Rights
- Encyclopedia of Education
- New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians
- Encyclopedia of Television
- Encyclopedia of Bioethics
- Encyclopedia of Medicinal Plants
- Encyclopedia of Western Colonialism Since 1450
Did you notice the variety? Also, notice that some of these encyclopedias are called "dictionaries," but they're not dictionaries. It can be a little confusing.
