Summary: Overpriced high-school level dictionary
Comment: Disappointing in every way. This is not an encyclopedia, it's a glorified dictionary of scientific terms. Most entries are 1-6 sentences merely defining the term. The level of difficulty is approx. high school level rather than college level. I've read several entries and not learned a thing. There is no index, few cross-references, and no topical approach to the contents. A much better choice qualitatively, more up to date, and a better value is the Encyclopedia of Science and Technology edited by James Trefil.
