About this title

Synopsis

The popular Dictionary of Science and Technology offers over 17,000 terms from all aspects of science and technology, including chemistry, physics and biology, earth sciences, engineering, astronomy, electronics, medicine and telecommunications.

This fully up-to-date second edition gives clear and concise definitions for hundreds of new terms, from fast-moving fields such as biotechnology, computing and environmental science. It's an ideal reference for students, or anyone dealing with scientific or technical language.

'An impressive breadth of scientific topics is touched upon... useful for learners needing to manipulate scientific and technical languages, and teachers of ESP baffled by terminology' - Pete Sharma, EL Gazette
