In this fast-paced information age, how can Americans know what's really important and what's just a passing fashion? Now more than ever, we need a source that concisely sums up the knowledge that matters to Americans -- the people, places, ideas, and events that shape our cultural conversation. With more than six thousand entries,The New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy is that invaluable source.
Wireless technology. Gene therapy. NAFTA. In addition to the thousands of terms described in the original Dictionary of Cultural Literacy, here are more than five hundred new entries to bring Americans' bank of essential knowledge up to date. The original entries have been fully revised to reflect recent changes in world history and politics, American literature, and, especially, science and technology. Cultural icons that have stood the test of time (Odysseus, Leaves of Grass, Cleopatra, the Taj Mahal, D-Day) appear alongside entries on such varied concerns as cryptography, the digital divide, the European Union, Kwanzaa, pheromones, SPAM, Type A and Type B personalities, Web browsers, and much, much more.
As our world becomes more global and interconnected, it grows smaller through the terms and touchstones that unite us. As E. D. Hirsch writes in the preface, "Community is built up of shared knowledge and values -- the same shared knowledge that is taken for granted when we read a book or newspaper, and that is also taken for granted as part of the fabric that connects us to one another." A delicious concoction of information for anyone who wants to be in the know, The New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy brilliantly confirms once again that it is "an excellent piece of work . . . stimulating and enlightening" (New York Times) -- the most definitive and comprehensive family sourcebook of its kind.

素晴らしい本です。
「教養あるアメリカ人」として承知しておくべき知識を"The Bible"から"Technology"まで23の大項目に分類し、簡潔に解説しています。
それぞれの冒頭に「何故この知識が教養人として必須であるのか」を分かりやすく解説しており、先ずはその部分だけを読むことで「知の全体像」が何となく掴めると思います。
あとは自分が興味のある部分(小項目)を拾い読みしてもよいでしょうし、知識欲旺盛な方は片っ端から読んでいき、そこからヒントを得て更に他の文献に当たるなど発展させていくのも一興かと思います。元より本書は"DICTIONARY"ですから、通読には馴染まないでしょうが、ページを開く度に、そこから「知」を深め、分け入っていく喜びの誘惑を感じます。
なお、既に「教養人」を自負されている方には、その教養が本物であるかを確認するのに好都合な試験紙となるでしょう。
「教養ある日本人」の知識ミニマムを凝縮したこの種の書物があればご教示下さい。

Interesting desktop reference for young students
2011年11月7日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
My eighth-grade son told me he had an assignment that he couldn't finish until he got to school the next morning because he had to look something up in the Cultural Literacy dictionary. I thought he was trying to pull one over on me, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt and told him he could only use this excuse once.
A few days later he told me he used a special favor with his school librarian and was able to bring this book home. Huh? You mean he wasn't kidding me before? So I flipped through the pages to see what this was. I was shocked that he had assignments where he actually had to look something up in a paper book instead of Googling it. OK son, you have my attention.
So he walked me through it and explained to me why he needed this reference book for his assignments. He showed me a few examples of references he had used for projects where the references used cultural terms he was unfamiliar with, like D-Day and the League of Women Voters. He explained that the reference book he was using was just a little mature for him, but that he could look up some of these unfamiliar issues, define them, and cite their definitions in his paper and then continue on with his research.
Wow. I would have expected kids his age to just bluff their way through the assignment.
So no more calling in favors with the librarian. I bought him his own copy for home. I can't believe any of my kids are using actual physical desktop references anymore, but I really love it. Although the definitions are a little simplistic in some cases, they give him enough of a frame of reference to be able to continue on with work without having to look up every single new item online.
This book is great for young students. I imagine it would be useful for foreign students too. I guess it would be great for space aliens and time travelers too. It's really a great way for anyone who is unfamiliar with today's common cultural references to quickly define the term and "get it" like the rest of us.
I realize this physical book will become dated before too long, but at least it covers common references from now through the past.

Exceptionally Satisfied

This book, to put it plainly, is awesome. It is crammed full of knowledge that will truly put you on the road to cultural literacy. This book does not go into detail on any given subject. Instead it gives you the general meaning on a variety of subjects. It describes itself as a dictionary and that is how it is formatted. I do not understand why people complain that this book does not go in-depth on all of the subjects. That describes an encyclopedia and encyclopedias are available for sale too.
The definitions are presented according to subjects. The subject headers in this book are:
The Bible, Mythology and Folklore, Proverbs, Idioms, World Literature, Philosophy, and Religion, Literature in English, Conventions of Written English, Fine Arts, World History to 1550, World History Since 1550, American History to 1865, American History Since 1865, World Politics, American Politics, World Politics, American Politics, World Geography, American Geography, Anthropology, Psychology, and Sociology, Business and Economics, Physical Sciences and Mathematics, Earth Sciences, Life Sciences, Medicine and Health, Technology.
Home schoolers I highly recommend this to you. It will serve as a great general reference for a well designed curriculum. Public Schoolers I recommend you buy this as well. It will serve as supplement for the complete lack of curriculum and education that the government is providing you, that is if you have even been taught to read.
