"Pros: the book came earlier than expected. very informative. exactly like it looks in the picture. got it cheaper than retail price. Cons: I don't know if the paper cover on the outside was damaged because of the box and shipment or if the seller left it like that, but that was the only downer."

Science is vital for every inhabitant of today’s world, and being scientifically informed and literate is a crucial part of any child’s education. A "Ready Reference" section in the back of the volume includes units of measurement, conversion tables, geometric shapes, and brief descriptions of important scientists and discoveries. Providing students with current science material is essential, and though the volume has not been extensively revised, libraries should acquire it to replace the previous version. This attractive, browsable, reasonably priced encyclopedia definitely has a place beside titles offering more depth, such as the six-volume New Book of Popular Science .

"The dictionary I recommend to my college composition classes."
