Reviews
"...continues its tradition of excellence maintained through six and a half decades"( The Chemical Educator , Vol.9 No. 4, 2004) Mentioned in a story about snow entitled "Did You Know?"  Definition of why snow is white is attributed to the Encyclopedia ( News-Sentinel Knoxville , TN, December 5, 2003 ) "...retains the look, feel, and scope of earlier editions...for two-year and undergraduate institutions, Van Nostrand is essential..." ( Choice , Vol. 40, No. 4, December 2002) "...still one of the best concise encyclopedias for the sciences." ( Library Journal Reviews , April 1, 2003) "...this is a very resourceful product which provides much information in a condensed manner...the price is very affordable...for those teaching and studying integrated science, this encyclopedia is a must." ( The American Biology Teacher , Vol. 65, No. 2, February 2003) "It is the best place to begin with encompassing the vast innovations of the science...the best reference for initial consultation and orientation." ( Word Trade ) "...extensively updated since the last volume...and it is an amazing accomplishment...not only does it cover an enormous range of topics...it does so thoroughly and descriptively...almost lyrical in its coverage..." ( Journal of the American Chemical Society , Vo l. 125, No. 12, 2003)

Synopsis
Extensively updated and revised, this outstanding reference remains the definitive scientific resource for both academic and professional environments Van Nostrand's Scientific Encyclopedia has long enjoyed a reputation as one of the most important comprehensive general scientific references available. Substantially revised to cover the many developments since the Eight Edition in 1994, this Ninth Edition ranges across all scientific disciplines as well as many areas of engineering and technology. Topics covered include animal science, anatomy, astronomy, atmospheric science, chemistry, chemical engineering, civil engineering, computer science, earth science, energy sources, information science, life science, materials, mathematics, mechanical engineering, medicine, mining, physics, physiology, planetary science, plant science, power technology, space science, structural engineering, and a host of other subjects. Existing material has been extensively revised for this new edition, and numerous new articles bring the Encyclopedia up-to-date on the latest developments and state-of-the-art knowledge in every discipline. An expanded subject index makes information easier to find. An extensive revision program makes this series an important addition to personal as well as institutional libraries in both academic and industrial settings.
