She already has two Grand Slam titles, one Sony Ericsson WTA Tour Championships, and fourteen weeks as the best tennis player in the world, but now Maria Sharapova has received a completely different honor.
World Book, Inc has announced that Sharapova, along with hundreds of world leaders, entertainers, ahtletes, explorers, and innovators, has been added to the newly released 2008 edition of The World Book Encyclopedia.
With more than 3,800 expert contributors ensuring articles are accurate and reflect current scholarship, the 2008 edition of The World Book Encyclopedia includes thousands of new and revised articles across all disciplines, from the arts and science to politics and religion.
The World Book Encyclopedia for 2008 is available in a new spinescape binding – World Book’s innovative multi-volume book spine design. The Global City spinescape, chosen based on the voting of more than 50,000 book lovers earlier this year, combines images of world cities to illustrate that, for the first time in history, the majority of people on the planet now live in cities.
The World Book Encyclopedia 2008 (ISBN 978-0-7166-0108-1) is available now from World Book’s school and library sales force at 800-975-3250 (U.S.) or 800-837-5365 (Canada), and from the company’s online store.
