520 1 $a"The Vermont Encyclopedia's thousand-plus entries, the work of 140 contributors, present a completely up-to-date and comprehensive collection of information on the Green Mountain State. Drawn from the most recent research available, its subjects range from prehistoric settlement to events in today's headlines. It includes entries on famous and infamous Vermonters; features of the physical landscape; political, economic, and social history; organizations such as the 251 Club; and tidbits about Vermont - for instance, nudism in the state, the Wasp (the only car ever made in Vermont), the fabled fur-bearing trout, and the invention of the jogbra."
520 8 $a"Seven topical essays introduce the volume. These treat the geography, climate, and natural history of the state; offer an account of settlement from precolonial times to the present; analyze and discuss contemporary features of Vermont's demography, commerce, and culture; and describe the evolution and current structure of the Vermont Constitution as well as state, county, and municipal government. The essays are followed by the individual entries, arranged alphabetically. Supplemented by charts, maps, and photographs, The Vermont Encyclopedia will serve as the essential guide to the Green mountain State for years to come."--Jacket.
