The historical dictionaries present essential information on a broad range of subjects, including American and world history, art, business, cities, countries, cultures, customs, film, global conflicts, international relations, literature, music, philosophy, religion, sports, and theater. Written by experts, all contain highly informative introductory essays on the topic and detailed chronologies that, in some cases, cover vast historical time periods but still manage to heavily feature more recent events.
Brief AZ entries describe the main people, events, politics, social issues, institutions, and policies that make the topic unique, and entries are cross-referenced for ease of browsing. Extensive bibliographies are divided into several general subject areas, providing excellent access points for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more. Additionally, maps, photographs, and appendixes of supplemental information aid high school and college students doing term papers or introductory research projects. In short, the historical dictionaries are the perfect starting point for anyone looking to research in these fields.

In a continent not known for its success stories, Gabon has done relatively well. To some extent, this is because it has a generous amount of natural resources, being a major exporter of manganese and uranium as well as forest productsto say nothing of oil, which provides more than half of its gross national product, tax revenue, and exports. The country also has a small populationfairly homogeneous ethnically and religiously but growing rapidly. Gabon also enjoys political stability, coming to independence in 1960 under strongman Leon Mba, ruled by Omar (formerly Albert) Bongo for nearly 42 years, and with Omars son Ali in charge since 2009. Not surprisingly, former French colony and French-speaking Gabon has been one of Frances best allies in Africa and is likely to remain so.
