The World Almanac® is America’s bestselling reference book of all time, with more than 83 million
copies sold. For more than 150 years, this compendium of information has been the authoritative
source for school, library, business, and home. The 2023 edition of The World Almanac reviews the
biggest events of 2022 and will be your go-to source for questions on any topic in the upcoming year.
Praised as a “treasure trove of political, economic, scientific and educational statistics and information”
by The Wall Street Journal, The World Almanac and Book of Facts will answer all of your trivia needs
effortlessly.

Fully revised and updated, and with a bright new design, Guinness World Records 2022 provides a
fascinating snapshot of our world today. Our editors have chosen to curate the book with
environmental issues at the forefront of their mind, so we open with a chapter exploring what’s
happening to our ecosystem and what superlative lengths people are going to make a difference. We
also want to encourage readers to put their own record-breaking to good, so look out for projects that
might inspire you to make a difference – so don’t just Discover Your World, Change Your World!

Free online database that allows the user to search the weather, astronomy, past almanac issues, and a
live weather stream. https://www.almanac.com/
Kids can have fun keeping up with our quickly changing world with the New York Times best-selling
almanac, packed with incredible photos, tons of fun facts, adventures with National Geographic
Explorers, crafts, activities, and fascinating features about animals, science, nature, technology,
conservation, and more. The 2022 edition features a new Kids vs. Plastic chapter, packed with ideas on
how you can reduce your plastic waste. There's a whole chapter full of fun and games, including
activities, jokes, and comics. Practical reference material, including fast facts and maps of every country,
is fully updated. Homework help on key topics is sprinkled throughout the book

From the cartographic experts at National Geographic comes the latest edition of its award-winning
student atlas, with everything kids want and need to know about our changing world. Dynamic, user-
friendly content includes photos, facts, charts, graphics, and full-color political, physical, and thematic
maps on important topics. Completely updated maps and statistics ensure that kids have all the latest
information as they learn more about current events and become global citizens.

For curious kids, this is the chance to embark on the journey of a lifetime—and see how faraway
countries have more in common than you might expect! Hopscotch from country to country in a chain
of connecting attractions: Explore Mexico’s glittering cave of crystals, then visit the world’s largest cave
in Vietnam. Peer over a 355-foot waterfall in Zambia, then learn how Antarctica’s Blood Falls got their
mysterious color. Or see mysterious mummies in Japan and France, then majestic ice caves in both
Argentina and Austria. 

Which countries don’t have rivers? Which ones have North Korean embassies? Who drives on the
“wrong” side of the road? How many national economies are bigger than California’s? And where can
you still find lions in the wild? You’ll learn answers to these questions and many more in Brilliant Maps
for Curious Minds. This one-of-a-kind atlas is packed with eye-opening analysis (Which nations have had
female leaders?), whimsical insight (Where can’t you find a McDonald’s?), and surprising connections
that illuminate the contours of culture, history, and politics.

Subscription Database: Concise, reliable and up-to-date cultural information on the countries of the
world, U.S. states and Canadian provinces.
Current, authoritative, and produced by the expert cartographers at National Geographic, this best-
selling United States atlas is newly updated with all the latest info--sure to be welcome in libraries,
classrooms, and homes.Kids will have fun learning about each and every U.S. state in this amazing 6th
edition atlas, packed with maps, stats, facts, and pictures. National Geographic's world-renowned
cartographers have paired up with education experts to create maps of all 50 states, U.S. territories, and
Washington, D.C., that pinpoint the physical features, capitals, and other towns and cities. Discover the
latest data along with colorful photography of each state and the people who live there. Key points
reflect the latest information about land and water, people, and places. Lively essays cover each region
of the country. Eight specially themed maps on nature, population, economy, energy, climate, and more
delve deeper into key issues. State birds and state flags add to the high visual interest. This is a great
reference for home and school with all the basics kids need to know to succeed in middle school, high
school, and beyond.

Combines information from four previously published atlases into one volume, covering the history of
human civilization from the ancient world to the modern era and examining religion, exploration, war,
colonization, kingdoms, and technology.

Gale In Context: Biography is an engaging experience for those seeking contextual information on the
world's most influential people. Organized into a user-friendly portal experience, it merges Gale's
authoritative reference content, including Lives & Perspectives, with periodicals and multimedia. Users
can browse to find people based on occupation, role, or historical period, or search based on name,
occupation, nationality, ethnicity, birth/death dates and places, or gender, as well as by keyword and
full text.

Timelines of Everyone reveals not just the incredible achievements, contributions, and adventures of
historical figures, but the lesser-known events that shaped them too, from childhood into old age. Did
you know that West African ruler Mansa Musa was the richest person ever to have lived? Or that
Hollywood screen legend Hedy Lamarr invented the technology that would one day develop into WiFi?
Or how about the fact that Einstein's last words were lost because his nurse didn't speak German? Filled
with easy-to-understand timelines, vibrant illustrations, and a diverse range of influential
people, Timelines of Everyone is the must-have guide to the world's must-know names.
Step inside the White House and meet the women who have played the roles of partners, confidantes,
hostesses, and activists in the midst of American history. Read of fascinating lives led by the wives (and
sometimes daughters, nieces, and friends) of our country's leaders. Ann Bausum introduces us to a
private side of each First Lady, and connects each personality with the public persona to produce a book
of uniquely revealing portraits.

Revised and updated to include the winner of the 2020 presidential election, this photo-filled and fact-
packed book is a timely must-have reference. National Geographic presents the 45 individuals who have
led the U.S. in this up-to-date, authoritative, and lavishly illustrated family, school, and library reference.

Like all A-Z books, this one illustrates the alphabet—but instead of "A is for Apple", A is for Angela—as in
Angela Davis, the iconic political activist. B is for Billie Jean King, who shattered the glass ceiling of
sports; C is for Carol Burnett, who defied assumptions about women in comedy; D is for Dolores Huerta,
who organized farmworkers; and E is for Ella Baker, who mentored Dr. Martin Luther King and helped
shape the Civil Rights Movement.

Rad Women Worldwide tells fresh, engaging, and amazing tales of perseverance and radical success by
pairing well-researched and riveting biographies with powerful and expressive cut-paper portraits. The
book features an array of diverse figures from 430 BCE to 2016, spanning 31 countries around the
world, from Hatshepsut (the great female king who ruled Egypt peacefully for two decades) and Malala
Yousafzi (the youngest person to win the Nobel Peace Prize) to Poly Styrene (legendary teenage punk
and lead singer of X-Ray Spex) and Liv Arnesen and Ann Bancroft (polar explorers and the first women to
cross Antarctica).  An additional 250 names of international rad women are also included as a reference
for readers to continue their own research.

An updated edition of a best-selling reference for grades 6-8, ages 11-14, features nearly 70,000 entries
and includes nearly 200 newly revised words and meanings across a variety of fields including
technology, social media, science, health and popular culture; 23,000 usage examples; over 1,000
carefully drawn illustrations to clarify and expand understanding; and abundant word history and
synonym paragraphs. This great study aid for students helps them build vocabulary and engage with
more complex text. New words added include cloud computing, derecho, selfie and tweet. 
Eighteen chapters and corresponding themes include a wide variety of fields: astronomy, the earth,

Cultures around the world have used alcoholic beverages throughout recorded history. Alcohol has
been used to treat medical complaints, in religious ceremonies, celebrations, and to increase
conviviality in social gatherings. Despite its widespread acceptance, however, societies have struggled to
address the negative effects associated with its misuse. Alcoholic beverages come in different forms,
such as spirits, beer, wines, or cocktails, and servings can contain vastly different amounts of pure
alcohol. But all these beverages share a common concern: Teens should not drink them. Each year
approximately 5000 young people die under the age of 21 due to underage drinking and that includes
about 1900 deaths from motor vehicle crashes, 1600 of homicides, 300 in suicide, and hundreds from
other injuries.

Substance abuse by teens is a public-health issue, impacting the health and well-being of the teen, their
families and society in general. Young people who abuse substances experience various problems, such
as academic difficulties, physical and mental health-related problems, poor interpersonal relationships,
and potential involvement with the juvenile criminal justice system. Adolescent substance use not only
affects them personally, but there are consequences for family members, the community, and the
entire society too. Most teenagers do not plan on using drugs or understand the potential
consequences of addiction. They are more likely to experiment recreationally and on the spur of the
moment, particularly when influenced by others such as friends. Public and health community
messaging may be helping teens understand the issues associated with drug use.  According to the
latest results from the Monitoring the Future (MTF) survey of substance use behaviors and related
attitudes among 8th, 10th, and 12th graders in the United States, the percentage of adolescents
reporting substance use decreased significantly in 2021, including those most commonly used
substances such as alcohol, marijuana, and vaped nicotine.
