Features: [Editor's Recommendation:] The illustrated "Oxford Junior Encyclopedia" presented to readers is divided into two parts and consists of nine volumes. Volumes 1 to 8 are the main text, and Volume 9 is the index. Entries within each volume are arranged in alphabetical order, not by subject categories, and it has been proven that this arrangement greatly facilitates retrieval and browsing for young people. The content covers a broad range of basic knowledge in social sciences and natural sciences, focusing on summarizing historical knowledge of the past while emphasizing the latest achievements in contemporary science and culture. It includes introductions to the history, geography, and personalities of countries around the world, as well as interesting content on institutions, customs, and more. The entries are extremely comprehensive, leaving nothing to be desired, making them suitable for children to browse and an ideal reference for teenagers. Volumes 1 to 7 are rich in knowledge and cover everything, including the latest information; Volume 8 contains 554 biographies of famous figures, including contemporary, historical, and other notable individuals; while retaining the alphabetical arrangement of entries, there is also a Chinese index, offering double the benefit; the index includes 15,000 entries, searchable by stroke order; meticulously organized, the book features integrated text and illustrations to cultivate children's ability to retrieve information; with 3,000 color illustrations and 2,000 photographs, the book is richly illustrated and visually engaging; it provides world records and statistical data, all presented in an entertaining manner.
