"Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, 'Carnegie Andrew' to 'Casus Belli'" is a thorough collection of knowledge covering arts, sciences, literature, and general information from the start of the 1900s. This volume is part of an encyclopedia acting as a reference tool that jumps across many different subjects and provides entries on famous people, like Andrew Carnegie, and ideas, like Cartesianism. The work starts by introducing Andrew Carnegie, telling the story of his poor beginnings in Scotland and his rise to American business success and big acts of charity. It tells about his work life, pointing out his important work in the railroad and steel industries, leading to the creation of the United States Steel Corporation. It highlights his giving back to society, such as creating libraries and schools, and his idea that rich people have a duty to help others, which is the base of how he is remembered.
