Featured Updates are a special editorial feature of the on-line EBC, and provide background as well as historical context for important current events and issues. The Featured Update also provides an immediate connection to the encyclopedia by guiding the reader through a series of related EBC articles. In most cases, the update article integrates material from non-EBC sources as well.

Featured Updates are rotated regularly, with all previous installments archived on this page. Please note that, unlike the regular EBC articles, the Featured Updates are not regularly updated, and are archived here as they were originally presented. Please consult the related articles within the EBC for the most recent information on all subjects.
