1.0 out of 5 stars
Overpriced high-school level dictionary,
By a reader (Santa Fe, NM United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: International Encyclopedia of Science and Technology (Hardcover)
Disappointing in every way. This is not an encyclopedia, it's a glorified dictionary of scientific terms. Most entries are 1-6 sentences merely defining the term. The level of difficulty is approx. high school level rather than college level. I've read several entries and have not learned a thing. There is no index, few cross-references, and no topical approach to the contents. A much better choice qualitatively, more up to date, and a better value is the Encyclopedia of Science and Technology edited by James Trefil.
