From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. An encyclopedia (also spelled encyclopaedia or encyclopædia) is a comprehensive written compendium that holds information from either all branches of knowledge or a particular branch of knowledge. Encyclopedias are divided into articles with one article on each subject covered. The articles on subjects in an encyclopedia are usually accessed alphabetically by article name and can be contained in one volume or many volumes, depending on the amount of material included. Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia. Indeed, the purpose of an encyclopedia is to collect knowledge disseminated around the globe; to set forth its general system to the men with whom we live, and transmit it to those who will come after us, so that the work of preceding centuries will not become useless to the centuries to come; and so that our offspring, becoming better instructed, will at the same time become more virtuous and happy, and that we should not die without having rendered a service to the human race in the future years to come. — Diderot OverviewFrom Wikipedia under the

Q. I'm looking for informative, non-fiction, encyclopedia-type books on gemstones and aromatherapy: their backgrounds, origins, healing powers etc. I'm not a very spiritual person so I'd prefer something a little more scientific (as in, "rocks and gems are made up of ions and so are our bodies" type thing) This is a new intrest of mine so any suggestions and reviews would be appreciated. Thank you! Asked by red - Fri Aug 29 02:42:34 2008 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. For the books on gemstones, I think your best bet is to go to a bookshop or look on amazon.co.uk or amazon.com and choose a book which appeals to you. All my best ones are Danish, written by Jette Holm. You may find translations in English. I do not recommend at all the books by Katrina Raphaell which are tough to read and contain no illustrations. For aromatherapy I will without hesitation recommend: "Nerys Purchon's Handbook of Aromatherapy" by Nerys Purchon You also have a very useful small book containing lots of colour-coded information. It is: Aromatherapy - Essential Oils in colour by Rosemary Caddy All the best!
