[Calahan Knapp · Rating 3 out of 5]

This reference book (3rd edition) had an abundance of unverifiable reference entries that had no digital counterparts to authenticate the writing with online, which was disappointing. The reference textbook did not include basic fundamental branches of science like pedagogics (science of education), zymology (science of fermentation), pomology (science of fruit agricultures), or phytology (science of botany) but it included innumerable computer-linguistics catch-phrases, so I believe it is skewed in a biased direction because it omits specific fields. It might be useful for a chemist or a particle physicist, but it is by no means a comprehensive compilation of science reference terminology. The illustrations along the margins are great.
