Expert contributors, advisors, and subject area specialists ensure its readability and accuracy. The encyclopedia features abundant colorful photographs and maps, supplementing the easy-to-read text.

Highlights of the 2023 encyclopedia set include:

  • Hundreds of article updates including extensive revisions to Homeschooling, Indigenous Peoples of the Americas, Olympic Games, Rugby Football, Shark, Space Exploration, Telephones, and Television.
  • Timely new biographies include snowboarder Chloe Kim, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and the first Black woman to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, Ketanji Brown Jackson.
  • Statistics and data updated throughout with the most recent U.S. Census information.

The Spinescape® was specifically selected because sharks are a high-interest topic to students K-12 and World Book has a desire to support shark conservation, “There are a lot of misconceptions about sharks out there,” says Tom Evans, World Book’s Editor in Chief. “Sharks have the reputation of attacking human beings. But fewer than 80 shark attacks a year are reported throughout the world,” adds Tom. This year’s Spinescape® comes from the award-winning photographer, Tanya Houppermans, who gave up her job as a mathematician to research and help with shark conservation.
