The essays point out the time covered and indicate the first time a citation is discussed by capitalizing the author's name. The coverage reflects the growing maturity of the history of science, with entries for new topics like Ethnomathematics and Human Genome Project. The high level of writing will be most useful to upper-level undergraduates, graduate students, and professors learning or teaching about topics not specifically in their disciplines.
This title complements other history of science reference books, such as History of Science in the United States (Routledge, 2000) and Encyclopedia of the Scientific Revolution: From Copernicus to Newton [RBB D 1 00]. Recommended for collections of the study of the history of science. REVWR
