Publisher's Synopsis
This volume defines over 5500 terms from a wide range of disciplines: astronomy, electronics, physics, chemistry, botany, zoology, meteorology, geology and computer science. Unlike other science and technology dictionaries, this one is designed especially for teenagers and adults who have no professional experience. The definitions have been formulated to be comprehensive and detailed, yet accessible to readers who aren't necessarily well-versed in sophisticated scientific principles or high-level mathematics.
