Even though I, and maybe you too, were not born when Yugoslavia still existed, Yugoslavia will always be in our hearts. It's not perfect of course but it was a proof that that in the development of socialism to achieve communism, it must be adapted to national conditions.

As always, in any book you read about Yugoslavia, including encyclopedias, it is impossible not to find a picture of the old city of Dubrovnik in Croatia. One of the most beautiful places in the Balkans. One day I will go there, for sure.

There are some typos and inaccuracies in this entry. I know because Indonesian is my native language. For example "Serbia" is written as "Servia" which is an outdated and controversial term to refer to Serbia. But other than that, the information is correct.

#Encyclopedias, the #InformationApocalypse on the verge of the #CulturalSingularity
(2/3)
...citing "Wikipedia " as a source for a paper is a methodological error.
For high-school students, I had initially thought that to be exaggerated.
Through my work as a blogger and commentator, I frequently need rapid information on new, unfamiliar topics, often even as a side note or just to have an illustration for a paragraph.
@Wikipedia is the natural go-to place...

Very refreshing article about the world"s seemingly last EN #encyclopedia.
There are a couple of noteworthy things, but I'll pick out just one:
"Although the term "encyclopedia" is now almost synonymous with Wikipedia, it's refreshing to see such a sizable reference printed on paper. So I bought one, and I'll tell you why."

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams.
Quite improbably, you are rescued from Earth minutes before its destruction, only to find the galaxy poorly mismanaged and under the influence of intradimensional rodents, and everyone looking for meaning where there is none, which rather gets in the way of having a good time.

My late father had a set of #WorldBook #encyclopedias in his office when I was 11 or 12. I never saw him look at them. They just sat there on a shelf. One day, bored, I pulled out a volume and sat on the ground, reading. I lost days, weeks, and months after that, poring over the entries.
A couple of weeks ago, two heavy boxes arrived at our doorstep. I put the books on a shelf. Last night, we saw our 13-yo head to bed, a World Book volume tucked under his arm.

Oh wow! I didn’t know that the World Book encyclopedia was still in print! This is the exact brand of encyclopedia that I grew up with and exactly why I started contributing to @wikipedia in 2002.
(The World Book was such an influence on me that I emulated their infobox style in Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Makati&oldid=1704277)
(I also adored their companion Childcraft set; the Mathemagic volume was the very reason I grew up to love #math
