Let’s Study This
Look at the fol lowing sources of information. Can you name each of them?
What do you think is our lesson for today?
Look at the following sources of information.
Notice the similarities and differences between them
An almanac (also spelled almanack and almanach) is an
annual publication that includes information like weather
forecasts, farmers' planting dates, tide tables, and other
tabular data often arranged according to the calendar.
Celestial figures and various statistics are found in almanacs,
such as the rising and setting times of the Sun and Moon,
dates of eclipses, hours of high and low tides, and religious
festivals.
Encyclopedias are collections of short,
factual entries often written by different
contributors who are knowledgeable about
the topic.
There are two types of encyclopedias: general and
subject.
1.General encyclopedias provide concise
overviews on a wide variety of topics.
2.Subject encyclopedias contain in-depth entries
focusing on one field of study.
We use these when doing research to find out what
has been studied on various topics and to find
bibliographies that point to other relevant research.
