PART II - "Classic Voices": Highlights the words of the great men and women, past and present, who not only shaped our world but also wrote for Britannica, such as: Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, Sigmund Freud, Alfred Hitchcock, Jack Kennedy, and, more recently, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Joseph Ellis and scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson.
PART III - "Issues of Today, Visions of Tomorrow": Brings you the foremost writers and scholars from the world today, addressing a wide assortment of subjects, such as Robotic Warfare, Car-less Cities of Tomorrow, Christendom's Future, Suggestions for Geopolitical Peace. Contributors include Martin Scorsese, Harvard's Henry Louis Gates, Jr., E.O. Wilson and Steven Pinker. Former U.S. Secretaries of State James Baker and Madeleine Albright.
