Reader Reviews
I see nothing particularly great or particularly bad about this almanac. It has the same old features the standard Almanacs have had for years. I paid special attention here to areas in which I thought Innovation important. I read the Almanac's summaries of latest scientific and technological developments, for instance their report on the delay in the building of the Large Hadron Collider. They do explain that this will be used to test what is called the Standard Model, and in search of the Higgs Bison but they do not really explain this in depth. They point to new discoveries in various areas of biological research. I am not capable of evaluating how wise their judgment is in any of this. The usual country - by- country Factbook presentation is given. In this I found a dearth of comparitive statistics, but generally reliable reporting. While there is nothing in this Almanac to be excited about there is certainly nothing here to deter the reader from requiring this reliable source of information.
