Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
From aardvark to zymogen granule, Barron's biology dictionary provides definitions and explanations of more than 6,000 biological terms. It'll set the love lights blazing in the eyes of any biology student, but it's also a fine library addition for the armchair biologist, the young science amateur, or any aging Saturday scientists. An essential reference for students struggling though science texts, Norah Rudin's dictionary also makes for interesting perusal fodder for them what enjoy browsing through aqueous humor, hyperplasia, mitochondrial cytopathies, northern blot, and spermatogenesis.
From Library Journal
Rudin's excellent collection of terminology in all major areas of biology features good cross-referencing, helpful illustrations, and consistently high-quality entries.

A Life Saver,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dictionary of Modern Biology (Paperback)
I'm a college student, and I'm studying biology. This book is going to make my life a lot easier. I've already used it several times, and the definitions are easy to understand and straight to the point. This book will soon become my "best friend." One negative, though. The book is from 1997, so it might not be up-to-date on certain issues. Other than that, it will give you a solid foundation of definitions you can always rely on. I can't wait for the newest edition of this book to be released.

This review is from: Dictionary of Modern Biology (Paperback)
The Dictionary of Modern Biology fills the need for the high school and college under grad to have a single source to quickly look up the meaning of biological terms. Much greater depth than text book glossary. My college Biology major son was pleased to get it and studied it for hours during the holiday break
