Science Definitions

The American Heritage Science Dictionary

 The American Heritage Science Dictionary defines the working vocabulary for the fields of science that matter to the student, the professional, and the novice. The definitions are not only written in simple-to-understand language, but many of the 8,500 entries are also accompanied by photographs, drawings, notes, tables and charts. With the over 350 photographs, complex concepts become simple and easy to understand and you can get a visual picture to answer the scientific questions you may have. 

All major fields of science are covered with definitions, explanations and examples in the fields of chemistry, physics, biology, medicine, applied sciences, ecology and computer science. The American Heritage Science Dictionary also offers 320 biographies of notable scientists from the past, present and future.
