Review

"The valuable Dictionary of Biology, first put out in England in paperback edition by Penguin Books, Inc., has now been published in the Unites States in hardback cover. . . . This small book . . . has much to commend it. The definitions are unusually concise and easy to understand. Many of the explanations are almost encyclopaedic, leading the reader to richer than usual knowledge. . . . I have enjoyed and profited much by reading the book from cover to cover. It is a work I will frequently consult."

--Edmund C. Jaeger, American Midland Naturalist
