About Britannicas 250th Anniversary Collector's
Product Description Encyclopædia Britannica, founded in 1768, has been serving knowledge seekers around the world for 250 years. To commemorate this milestone we're publishing the Encyclopædia Britannica Anniversary Edition: 250 Years of Excellence (1768-2018). Designed both to complete your Britannica yearbook collection and to serve as an engaging stand-alone volume, this individually numbered, special collectors publication is a rare compendium of knowledge, insights, and history and will be the last edition in the 80-year tradition of Britannica's distinguished yearbooks. The three sections of this book include: Evolving Knowledge: Enjoy some of our favorite entries from Britannica s earliest editions, going back to 1768, when Britannica wondered whether California was an island. Classic Voices: Enjoy the words of the great contributors who have written for Britannica over the centuries, including Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Arnold Palmer. Issues of Today, Visions of Tomorrow: Recent U.S. Secretaries of State Madeleine Albright and James Baker weigh in on the international scene; Monica Lewinsky discusses cyberbullying; Harvard s Henry Louis Gates, Jr., tackles race relations, among many other contributors.
