Illustrated dictionary of science
by Michael Allaby
This newly revised and expanded edition, originally published as The Encyclopedic Dictionary of Science, explains matter and energy (physics); the science of living things (biology) and particularly of humans (medicine); our understanding of the Earth (geology and physical geography) and of the Universe (astronomy); and the practical apparatus of science (technology).
It also provides background information on the history of a particular science and biographical details on prominent scientists in each discipline. The easy-to-read definitions are accompanied by beautiful illustrations that serve to enhance the reader's understanding of the text.
- The Illustrated Dictionary of Science is written in clear, nonspecialist language that enables anyone, from student to general reader to science buff, to grasp the language and the concepts of science.
