"This work by editor in chief MacKenzie (emer., Lancaster Univ.), assisted by historians Dalziel (independent scholar), Doumanis (Univ. of New South Wales), and Charney (independent scholar), offers a very thorough iteration of a common theme for reference works—empire. The project has an exhaustive list of contributors and an impressive advisory board to aid the editors." (Choice Connect 2016)
