In this new, updated edition, roughly 50% of the entries have been modified to reflect the many changes which have taken place since publication of the previous edition 17 years ago. And the new specialties that were in their infancy when the previous edition was published--including biotechnology, space science, and cytotoxic drugs--are now fully represented.
In addition to covering the chemical sciences, the Dictionary p[provides a wealth of information about related fields such as physics, medicine, biology, agriculture, pharmacology, and mineralogy. It's an important work that deserves a place in the working library of everyone involved in or interested in chemistry and the related sciences.
