Review title: excellent concept, diverse reference
Product review: I found this title while shopping for textbooks at the University store. An overview and summary of various terminologies provides a window into more broad topics in the sciences. As a college graduate I was familiar with many of these definitions, but none-the-less found the collection refreshing. This type of assemblage is best presented in a palpable compilation of 100 unrelated pieces, suitable for perusal in a single sitting. I would recommend this book as an intro or summary of scientific words and concepts. Anecdotal examples and illustrations reinforce definitions by providing applications and background of the various words, and their generic origins.As a long-time user of The American Heritage Dictionary, Fourth Edition, I support this type of layout for concise review and stimulating exploration of the less frequently visited vocabulary of the sciences, with etymologies included! Five stars for a novel concept and well selected assortment of words.
