USBorne Illustrated Dictionary Of Science

Clear definitions, combined with carefully chosen illustrations and diagrams, simplify difficult scientific concepts. For ages 11 and over. Editorial Reviews Review This richly illustrated reference guide is more a condensed, advanced high school course in physics, chemistry and biology than a traditional dictionary. Each topic - listed by subject and not alphabetically - is explored through colorful, detailed charts, graphs and tables; cross-referencing links the major branches of the natural sciences. Middle school-aged children may not be ready for such an extensive, sophisticated text, but high school students will find the straightforward definitions and comprehensive index essential study companions.
