''Conspiracy Encyclopedia: The Encyclopedia of Conspiracy Theories'' is a non-fiction reference book about conspiracy theories, with an introduction by Thom Burnett. It was published in 2005 by Chamberlain Bros., and in 2006 by Collins & Brown. Contributors to the work include Thom Burnett, Nigel Cawthorne, Richard Emerson, Mick Farren, Alex Games, John Gill, Sandy Gort, Rod Green, Emma Hooley, Esther Selsdon, and Kenn Thomas.〔 The encyclopedia discusses 365 conspiracy theories, most of which are political. The encyclopedia was positively reviewed in ''The Guardian'', where it was referred to as a "beautifully-produced tome".〔 It received both a positive and a negative review from two different writers in ''The Times''. In 2008 the encyclopedia was listed as required reading in a course on conspiracy at Harvard University.〔 ==Contents== Thom Burnett begins the encyclopedia by introducing the reader to the contents and concepts in the work. Burnett notes that the German term ''Verschwörungsmythos'' means "Conspiracy Myth", and has value as a descriptive label. "Perhaps the conspiracy world is an updated version of ancient myths, where monsters and the gods of Olympus and Valhalla have been replaced by aliens and the Illuminati of Washington and Buckingham Palace," writes Burnett.〔 Three hundred and sixty-five conspiracy theories are discussed in the work, and the majority of these are political in nature. It contains many pictures to illustrate points made in the work. Topics discussed include the moon landing conspiracy theories, the Bilderberg Group, the Illuminati, the Warren Commission and the Kennedy assassination conspiracy theories, the views of David Icke, and chupacabras.〔 The encyclopedia has a section on assassinations, and those discussed include the deaths of Kenneth Bigley in 2004, Danny Casolaro in 1991, John F. Kennedy in 1963, and Tutankhamun in 1323BC.〔〔
