Often, in order to quickly find high-quality information about something, we turn to the encyclopedia. An encyclopedia is a reference publication that systematizes almost all scientific information on various topics.
Features of the encyclopedia
The prototype of modern encyclopedias was a dictionary of words in which words and their definitions could be found.
But the dictionary has only minimal information about any term. The encyclopedia penetrates much deeper into the subject being described. It contains the entire volume of knowledge accumulated by humanity on any issue. The encyclopedia is also a collection of geographical maps and illustrations. We can not only read certain information about the desired item, but also visually see its features, location and a number of other data that we need. The pages of the encyclopedia contain tables and statistical data. Thanks to this, it is possible to conduct a comparative analysis, generalization and synthesis of the obtained units of information.
Can encyclopedias be trusted?
The encyclopedia is a unique work of many generations. Every fact presented in this publication has been scientifically confirmed. All information in the encyclopedia is objective and accurate.
Even if we open two encyclopedias of different authors and publications, we will notice that the information about any subject will be almost identical. There may be differences only in the style of statements, because each author writes in his own way. As humanity develops, encyclopedic facts are updated and supplemented. There is nothing superfluous or invented in the encyclopedia; every word is selected in strict accordance with the facts. And all the facts are verified and scientifically proven. Encyclopedic publications can and should be trusted. They will help answer many questions, and this can be achieved in a short time, you just need to open the desired page.
Types of encyclopedias
Encyclopedias are different. They can be aimed at a specific age, at a certain level of development of the reader, or at a particular area of knowledge. Encyclopedias are also divided into alphabetical and systematic, multi-volume and one or two volumes in size (usually encyclopedic dictionaries).
According to the information included, these publications are divided into general, industry and universal. An encyclopedia can be dedicated to a particular region (regional) or to an individual (personal). In the modern world, an encyclopedia is not only a paper medium - a book. This publication is now available on disk and as online versions. Everyone can choose the right option for themselves, it will depend on the purpose of using this unique publication.
"Encyclopedia": the meaning of the word
In the encyclopedia we can find the meaning of almost any word. I wonder what the meaning of the word “encyclopedia” is? This term comes from the Greek language “enkyklios paideia” - “circle of knowledge”, “training in the entire circle of knowledge”. In a broad sense, an encyclopedia is a collection of scientific facts and information on a variety of topics, which is intended for a wide range of readers. Without a doubt, an encyclopedia is a useful thing!
The lexical meaning of a word is contained in the basis of the term itself. Indeed, this publication presents a whole range of specific knowledge, through the study of which it is possible to build learning. In different languages, this Greek word has a similar pronunciation. In Russian - “encyclopedia”, in English - “encyclopedia”, “encyclopaedia”, in German - “enzyklopadie”, in French - “encyclipedie”.
How do we understand the term “walking encyclopedia”?
Probably, each of us has someone around us who knows almost everything and about everything. We can ask him for information on any question that interests us. It seems that all his experience and all his knowledge are sorted into shelves. He never gets confused in facts; it is wonderful to communicate and be friends with such a person.
We are surprised how mathematical formulas, knowledge of geography, literary talent, and many other facts that are very difficult for an ordinary person to remember can easily coexist in the head of this know-it-all. His extraordinary erudition and broad outlook give every right to call such a person a “walking encyclopedia.”
The meaning of the phraseological unit in this case speaks for itself, fully revealing the individual characteristics of the individual. This is what they call a person who surprises us with his erudition. And although this expression is considered humorous, it fully reflects the unique abilities of such people. People are not born a “walking encyclopedia.” Any of us can become such a unique person, we just have to fall in love with reading good books and begin to be sincerely interested in the world around us.
An encyclopedia is not just a collection of facts, it is a real storehouse of valuable information collected by entire generations for the purpose of transferring knowledge and experience.
