I think that using wikipedia would suffice. Depending on the subject, wikipedia often has more detailed information. I wouldn’t bother spending the $40, even if wikipedia doesn’t have what your looking for, you can always search encarta on the web for free.
Wikipedia is better
I used Encarta, maybe seven years ago, and it in no way compares with Wikipedia. I’m sure over the year it has expanded, but I still prefer Wikipedia becuase of price.
Wikipedia (a combination of the word wiki and encyclopedia) is an on-line “copyleft” encyclopedia that is constantly evolving and can be edited by anyone. Hosted and supported by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, this open source resource is collaboratively created and maintained by thousands of users worldwide. Any article contributed to Wikipedia becomes free content that may be used, edited, copied and redistributed by users. All materials contributed to Wikipedia must be verifiable by other users.
Founded by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger, Wikipedia began as an English language project but quickly became a multilingual enterprise. Committed to maintaining neutrality, Wikipedia encourages contributors to fairly present all views on an issue, and welcomes participation of users from across the globe in order to neutralize the possibility of built-in biases derived from the demographic makeup of the contributors. Entries that are likely to contain controversial content are flagged as such, and it is occasionally necessary to freeze the option of editing certain topics when their neutrality is being compromised.
