With some 2300 entries, it lists the fundamental terms of the area and includes a selection of historical and highly specific entries adding context and depth. The unprecedented breadth of coverage ensures that there are entries on all major subject areas.

To assist the reader in research on a given topic, related entries are highlighted in the text and other important entries are cross-referenced.
