Education and Entertainment from the ArcaMax Knowledge Page

Lovers of history, technology, and trivia can find a wealth of information on ArcaMax Publishing's Knowledge Web site.

The family-friendly publisher, known for its ezines (e-mail publications) covering everything from parenting tips to business news, offers a highly popular Knowledge section at http://www.arcamax.com/knowledge . Every day, readers will find fresh content on all their favorite topics.

"We all want to learn more; we like knowing those 'little facts,'" says ArcaMax CEO Scott Wolf of the site's appeal. "We might not be historical experts, but it's fun to know things like when the London Bridge was built or when the first music video aired."

Every day, visitors to the Knowledge site can learn such intricate details as what specific day of the year it is, what phase the moon is in, and what the morning and evening stars are. Of course, historical facts are also available, not only on the front page, but also in the "This Day in History" feature. This section and its related ezine offer historical events, notable birthdays, and classic quotes.

Trivia buffs whose interest goes beyond daily facts and figures can delve into the Trivia feature and ezine, which focuses on a different topic each day. Past installments have shed light on the histories of Monopoly, Conan the Barbarian, and whale song, to name a few. Ezine subscribers also get a special installment evert Sunday, with challenging trivia quizzes on a variety of topics featured elsewhere on the ArcaMax Web site. Visitors thirsting for even more fun knowledge can look up a daily vocabulary word.

In addition to trivia and historical notes, the Knowledge section also breaking news in the world of science and technology — everything from health reports to shuttle missions. Site visitors and subscribers can read daily news on hot topics, like NASA's investigation into the possibility of other Earth-like planets, free on the site or by e-mail.

"We're as much about entertainment as we are information," Wolf goes on. "Quizzes, games, and trivia make up a large portion of our site. The Knowledge section is one of our most popular features."
