Pears Cyclopaedia
The Pears Cyclopaedia is a one-volume encyclopaedia published in the United Kingdom. Pears Soap launched the original Pears Shilling Cyclopaedia in December 1897. Each edition has traditionally featured an atlas, a gazetteer, a chronological list of events, a list of prominent people (past and present), a miniature encyclopaedia of general information and around a dozen or more other sections on various subjects such as cinema, classical mythology, wine, astronomy, ideas and beliefs, gardening, medicine, etc. The selection of subjects varies slightly from year to year, and recently the more comprehensive atlas section has been dropped. Since 1953 it has been published annually. The most recent edition (2015-2016) is the 124th, published in August 2015. It was for a long time published by Pelham Books but is currently published by Penguin Books. It has been edited by Dr Chris Cook since 1977. During the 1950s, the encyclopedia awarded the Silver Pears Trophy annually to a prominent person for "outstanding British achievement in any field."
