- Summary
- COI synopsis: Some tasks seem too big to handle. An Encyclopedia of Africa has often appeared to be one of them, despite the obvious need for an entirely reliable and comprehensive book of reference for the continent as a whole. Now, we have such a book; and it is already being used. London Line cameras show one of the encyclopedia’s editors - from the School of Oriental and African Studies in London - as he answers questions and discusses points with a group of London schoolboys whose special study is Africa. The London Line presenter, himself an ex-teacher, in chairman of the discussion.
- Researcher Comments
