The Lexicon Universal Encyclopedia, first published in 1980, is an entirely new reference work, the only completely new general encyclopedia in more than a decade. More than 100 employees, 2,250 scholars and other authorities, plus another 150 consultants, advisors, contributing editors, cartographers, photographers, and illustrators worked for several years to create the 9 million words, 32,000 entries, and more than 16,000 illustrations that select, describe, organize, structure, and interpret a representative portion of the world's corpus of knowledge in a manner that is useful to our readers. For this, the eighth edition, all of the encyclopedia's contents have been thoroughly reviewed and updated as necessary to reflect the most recent developments.
