McGraw-Hill Concise Encyclopedia of Bioscience
Editorial Reviews
Review
Choice : The editors have extracted and condensed over 900 bioscience-related articles from the comprehensive and authoritative McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology...to create this portable edition, which encompasses the most important concepts in the biological sciences. Though greatly condensed from the original articles, the entries here are easily readable and provide a broad yet clear understanding of each topic. Extensive cross-referencing appears throughout the book. The appendix serves as a handy, quick reference guide to conversion factors, measurement tables, fundamental constants, and the classification of living organisms. More than a strict listing of article titles, the index is a true subject index with terms listed both by the narrower term and by broader terms with narrower terms below; article titles are indicated with asterisks... Students new to the field may find the listing of bibliographies and major journals useful. Summing Up: Recommended. Two-year college libraries, small academic libraries, and public libraries; or as a great addition to a biology student's personal library. -- D.M. Braquet, University of Tennessee, Knoxville
