'Chambers dictionary of science and technology' edited by John Lackie

Unlike many science dictionaries on the market, this dictionary covers all the sciences as well as mathematical concepts and technology terms.

All the entries are clear, written in easy to understand language and avoiding scientific words where possible. Many entries have excellent illustrations, which back up the written explanations beautifully.

Whether you have a keen interest in science or just a passing interest, this is an excellent scientific dictionary.
