Whether we’re covering the whole of the human past (in the Berkshire Encyclopedia of World History), the challenges of the present (in the forthcoming Encyclopedia of Sustainability), or exploring what’s ahead (in the Encyclopedia of the 21 st Century), Berkshire’s goal is to make reference relevant – and to make relevant reference! Not long ago I said jokingly to someone at the U.S. Commercial Service that Great Barrington is becoming the China publishing capital of the western world. In any case, we do hope you’ll join us, virtually or in real life, in our China and other global travels.
