<p  style="font-size: 110%>You are looking at Phase I of the ''New World Encyclopedia,'' which is designed to organize human knowledge so that the reader will learn information, not just for its own sake, but for its value to the world as a whole. The underlying goal of the encyclopedia is to promote knowledge that leads to human happiness, well-being, and world peace. It is a useful tool for everyone, and an ideal resource for high-school students working on class papers.  </p><p style="font-size: 110%>

Today, computer and internet encyclopedias have largely replaced print encyclopedias. The most popular online encyclopedia, ''Wikipedia'' has stunned the world; and as a leading force in the open source revolution has shaken assumptions regarding knowledge and scholarship to their very roots. Its reliability has been challenged because of its policy to let anyone contribute to it, but it has stood up remarkably to tests and comparisons to conventional sources such as the ''Encyclopedia Britannica.'' However, it should be noted that the ''Encyclopedia Britannica'' has adapted impressively with an electronic version of its traditional encyclopedia during this challenging time of transition.

''New World Encyclopedia'' is a wiki-based encyclopedia which contains carefully selected articles that were rewritten and supervised by a team of editors with academic and literary qualifications. ''New World Encyclopedia'' will have the same ease of use as ''Wikipedia,'' but will differ based on an editorial policy that includes a more rigorous article selection process, editorial review process, and its wholesome values orientation.

Featured Article

Featured Article: Milovan Djilas

Milovan Đjilas, 1950
Milovan Djilas or Đilas (June 4, 1911 – April 20, 1995) was a Montenegrin Serb, Communist politician, theorist, and author in Yugoslavia. He was a key figure in the Partisan movement during the World War II as well as in the post war government. His book, The New Class was a devastating critique of Soviet-style communist bureaucracies which claimed to have created a classless society but had merely replaced the bureaucrats of the old system with those of the communist system. Djulas was widely hailed in the West for his sober analysis of the ideological failings of the communist system.

Popular Article: Trigonometry

All of the trigonometric functions of an angle θ can be constructed geometrically in terms of a unit circle centered at O.
Trigonometry (from Greek Τριγωνομετρία "tri = three" + "gon = angle" + "metr[y] = to measure") is a branch of mathematics that deals with triangles, particularly those plane triangles in which one angle has 90 degrees (right triangles). Trigonometry deals with relationships between the sides and the angles of triangles and with the trigonometric functions, which describe those relationships. Trigonometry has applications in both pure mathematics and in applied mathematics, where it is essential in many branches of science and technology.
