This site offers great promise as the new and better online reference resource. The publisher, Fields of Knowledge, has impaneled professors and other experts to recommend what they each consider to be the superlative sources of information about her or his subject specialty.

The Infography's mission is to provide "top-down research" that enables college students and the learning public to begin with the research recommendations of experienced scholars before digging deeper into the corpus of the literature. This differs greatly from what one might term the "throw-up research" through conventional Internet search engines that respond with references of always overwhelming quantity and often dubious quality.

The Infography includes citations to web sites, books, journal articles, and other media, although it appears that the professors still prefer the storehouse of knowledge in the world's libraries of hard copy.

Readers should search The Infography for topics of interest to them, and some of you who are qualified experts yourselves should consider becoming an Infography expert about your subject of expertise so that you can share your wisdom with the world. Although Fields of Knowledge reports that they have strict standards of objectivity as part of their vetting process, they also are eagerly seeking experts that are able to recommend information sources about subjects that serve to advance the human condition.

  • Abortion -- Selective;
