It is published with several indexes, a detailed list of widely-used abbreviations, and a statistical profile of each volume that provides an overview of the current state academic philosophy in North America. It is now in its 25th print edition, covering years 2010-2011. This edition lists names, addresses, and subject specialties for over 13,000 philosophers in the U.S. and Canada.
