Review
'This work, for its comprehensive coverage, lucid and concise entries suitable for a non-technical interested audience (and just as much for an interested professional scientific and technical audience), all in an attractively designed and produced volume, will help propagate the author's enthusiasm for his subject in the most appropriate way, by offering sound scientific and technical fact. This work will find a useful place in any relevant specialist collection as well as in general reference collections.' Reference Reviews
