*Features* Cover Type: Hard Cover with 704 pages Published by: Houghton Mifflin Edition: 1st Edition January 25, 2005 Written in: English ISBN 10 Number: 0618455043 ISBN 13 Number: 978-0618455041 Book Dimensions: 9.1 x 5.9 x 1.7 inches Weighs: 2.3 pounds *From School Library Journal* Grade 8 Up–Replacing The American Heritage Dictionary of Science (Houghton, 1988; o.p.), this all-new resource mixes generous definitions for more than 8000 scientific terms from "A" ("Abbreviation of adenine, ampere, angstrom, area") to "-zygous," from "fuzzy logic" to "phlogiston," with about 150 boxed analytical entries, twice as many capsule biographies, and even more line drawings or small but clear black-and-white photos. Though the foreword rightly extols the pleasures of surfing these pages, most students will stick to quick-reference use; still, as a replacement for the old edition, or even as an upgrade for The American Heritage Student Science Dictionary (Houghton, 2002), in school libraries or classroom collections supporting strong science programs, this will be a core purchase.–John Peters, New York Public Library Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. *Product Description* The American Heritage® Science Dictionary defines the working vocabulary of the sciences in language that general readers can read and enjoy. Clearly written and richly illustrated, the dictionary covers all the major fields of science, from the basics of chemistry, physics, biology, and mathematics to the applied realms of medicine, ecology, and computer science. Each entry is written in an easy-to-understand style, and many entries are accompanied by instructive photographs and drawings. Important scientific concepts, such as relativity, genetic sequencing, and plate tectonics, are further explained in notes accompanying the entries. The dictionary also includes biographical entries that describe the achievements of great scientists, from ancients like Archimedes and Aristotle to modern scientists like Rosalyn Yalow and Roger Sperry. With cross-references linking related entries and informative tables and charts, The American Heritage® Science Dictionary is the perfect reference book for people looking to improve their science literacy, complete homework assignments, or understand breakthroughs reported in the headlines. • 8,500 entries in all areas of science • Over 350 photographs and drawings • 320 biographies of notable scientists • 175 notes on key scientific concepts • Useful tables and charts Back To Top
