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.

The Romans called it Arabia Felix, but its history has not been very happy in most times, including also the period of Roman rule, and this partly because it has been conquered and ruled or dominated by outsiders so often it is hard to keep track. There were the Romans, and the Byzantines, and the Abyssinians, and the British, and the Ottoman Turks, and more recently and increasingly Saudi Arabia. This is partly because it has also been divided one way or the other, and usually in several ways, over its whole history. The rulers above did not always control the whole area, which created some of the divisions, the others being homegrown. Although all, or mostly all, Arabs, there are definite ethnic divisions. Although all, in this case, Muslims, they are divided by different schools of Islam and the related sects. Then there are ethnic differences and broader ones between north and south. Although all wanted independence, and they got it as of 1967, they have differed greatly and sometimes violently over what sort of government they needed, ranging from extremely conservative to very radical tendencies, from those promoting secular rule to those demanding one form or another of religious control. This has obviously resulted not only in strife but a long roll of coups, revolutions, uprisings, and civil wars, which have not ended today; if anything, Yemen is presently engulfed in its most conflictual period ever.
