3-Volume Set Tenth Edition edited by Glenn D. Considine
VNR's Scientific Encyclopedia remains the definitive scientific resource with topics ranging across all scientific disciplines including the life sciences, earth and atmospheric sciences, physical sciences, medicine, and mathematics, as well as many areas of engineering and technology.
The new, three-volume Tenth edition contains articles contributed by industry experts and scholars worldwide. It comprises more than 10,000 entries and features hundreds of completely rewritten and re-referenced articles, as well as 2,500 completely new entries covering emerging technologies affecting genetics, global warming, communications, informatics, nanotechnology, and more.
Internet references in addition to traditional print references have been updated and expanded to reflect the editors' conviction that modern students and researchers move from link to link as well as from page to page.
The Tenth Edition of the incomparable Scientific Encyclopedia is an essential addition to academic and industrial libraries, as well as an indispensable reference for students and professionals across an ever-expanding range of scientific and engineering disciplines.
