Contemporary Almanacs

Currently published almanacs such as The New York Times Almanac have expanded their scope and contents beyond that of their historical counterparts. Today's almanacs include a comprehensive presentation of statististical and descriptive data covering the entire world. Contents also include discussions of topical developments and a summary of recent historical events.
