Now in its fourth edition (the third was published in 2005), Holidays, Festivals, and Celebrations of the World Dictionary is the premier source of information on worldwide observances. The new edition contains more than 3,000 (up from nearly 2,500) events from the U.S and more than 100 other nations. In addition to new entries, updates include revised contact information and websites and updated appendixes. There are three new appendixes: “Phases of the Moon from 2009 to 2010 Given in Eastern Standard Time,” “Overview of the World’s Major Religions,” and “Facts about Countries around the World.” The dictionary is arranged alphabetically by the name of the celebration and ranges from Aban Parab, at entry number 0001, to the Zydeco Music Festival, at number 3072. Entries include the name of the celebration, time period, a brief description, contact information, and sources consulted. There are three separate indexes—chronological, subject, and general. The chronological index has two parts, “Fixed Days and Events” and “Moveable Days,” which lists entries observed according to the non-Gregorian calendar. The “Special Subject Index” is arranged in six categories—“Ancient/Pagan,” “Calendar,” “Folkloric,” “Historic,” “Promotional,” and “Sporting.” Finally, the general index is arranged alphabetically by keyword and includes proper names. Extensive introductory pages describe the scope and audience of the book, with detailed instructions for its use. This compilation continues to be recommended for all libraries. --Mary Ellen Quinn
