		DanBC on March 25, 2012 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The Best Textbooks on Every Subject I wish the wikipedia leads were more concise. A two sentence description of the concept in the most basic understandable language possible. Then the next paragraph can be a more accurate lead. The the content list; then the contents. Your zoomable book idea is a good one. I'd prefer authority with good cites over crowd-sourced with semi-random citing.

I recommend checking out the "Simple English" wikipedia for more complex topics. It breaks those sentences down even more and is fantastic for math articles and the like.
