This review is from: The Penguin Dictionary of Chemistry (Penguin Dictionary) (Mass Market Paperback)
Excellent book, clean, slimmed definitions, therefore making it concise, and does what it is supposed to do: Provide a breadth of knowledge and be a good reference. Buy this if you are a chemistry major, or are in the field of chemistry.

The Penguin Dictionary of Chemistry: Third Edition (Dictionary, Penguin) Overall, I like this dictionary, and I am glad that I bought it. I would have liked it better if the author had included the Latin and Greek stems of the terms. However, I have not been able to find one that includes etymology. I was also unable to find a definition for "elementary reaction." The book is well illustrated.
