## IMPROVED SEARCHING AND BROWSING
By popular demand, Premium now offers ENHANCED SEARCH RESULTS.
Dictionary entries are contained in a new 'Quick Definition' box at
the top of the page, meaning reference results are now displayed more
prominently - allowing your users faster access to Premium's
outstanding content.  Click here[4] for an example of this great new
feature.

## NAVIGATION OF ARTICLES WITH SUB-ENTRIES is now easier than ever
before! A new right-hand sidebar details the title of each section
and displays both the first few words and a link through to the full
text, further linking content together for ease of research. Click
here[5] for an example.

## WIDE-RANGING NEW CONTENT
* THE NEW ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BIRDS is the definitive single-volume guide
to birds of the world.

* ENCYCLOPEDIA OF UNDERWATER LIFE offers unrivalled coverage of the
fish and aquatic invertebrates that inhabit our rivers, lakes, and
oceans.

* OXFORD DICTIONARY OF THE CLASSICAL WORLD presents more than 2,500
accessible and wide-ranging entries on the civilizations of ancient
Greece and Rome.

* THE OXFORD DICTIONARY OF SCIENCE FICTION, the first historical

science-fiction words and their associated concepts over time, with
full citations and bibliographic information.

* A DICTIONARY OF PUBLIC HEALTH covers all aspects of public health,

  Additionally, two new TIMELINES have been added for Ireland[6] and
