5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent reference book!, January 21, 2000
This review is from: Dictionary of Engineering and Technology: Volume II:English-German (Dictionary of Engineering & Technology) (Hardcover)
For the translator who is faced with a variety of technical texts, Ernst's book offers relief! I've found the oddest of terms, all tucked away in this beatifully geeky but erudite book. If you buy any dictionary this year, make it Ernst.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for Technological Translations, June 19, 2000
By A Customer
It has been very difficult to work on translating technical documents in the past since many dictionaries do not include scientific and technological terms. This dictionary covers many of the difficult engineering terms that I have not been able to translate in the past. I would recommend this book for anyone that is working in the technology or scientific fields.
