100 pages on…



 

100 pagine su… is the first and new Erickson encyclopaedia that combines the pleasure of knowledge to entertainment. In just 100 pages, each volume presents a different topic in a clear and exhaustive way, accompanying the text with colourful illustrations and photographs.

Textual and para-textual devices in each volume guarantee wide readability and accessibility to the text: highly readable fonts, not too crowded pages, infographics, simple and clear images and photographs.

They can be used during individual study, but also at school as a teaching support to delve deeper into the topics of the school curriculum, do research and challenge each other in class.
