About this title

Reviews

The increasing trend toward specialization has made it difficult for scholars to stay current with all areas of science. This book addresses the problem by pulling together in one volume a unique collection of articles that provide a concise but comprehensive guide to major scientific disciplines. Described as a "Grand Tour of Science," it gives a cross section of key theories, discoveries, and events in astronomy, biology, brain and behavioral research, computer and earth sciences, medicine, and physics. Each article is organized in such a way that a generalist can get an idea of the state of the art without prior knowledge of the field. The current edition and planned future ones should be greatly used in college and large public libraries.
