This encyclopedia contains individual histories of each of the
nearly 100 World's Fairs and expositions held in more than 20
countries since 1851. This is a thorough revision and updating of
the book originally published as A Historical Dictionary of World's
Fairs and Expositions in 1990. The new entries include essays on
the world's fairs to be held in Zaragoza, Spain, in 2008 and in
Shanghai, China, in 2010. Many of the original essays have been
revised and expanded. Topics covered include goods, tourism,
nationalistic competition, architecture, art and culture, and
""exhibition fatigue."" Each fair history has its own annotated
bibliography which provides, when possible, the location of
relevant primary sources and comments on the quality of secondary
sources. Appendices cover the Bureau of International Expositions,
fair statistics, fair officials, fairs that did not qualify for
inclusion, and fairs that were planned but never held. The book
includes a foreword (and appendix) by Vicente Gonzalez Loscertales,
the secretary general of the Bureau of International Expositions.
