    Summary note
    "With more than 6,500 clearly written articles, a complete chronology of science ranging across almost 12,000 years, a Ready Reference section, and 1,000 color illustrations, photographs, and diagrams, the International Encyclopedia of Science and Technology is designed to be both comprehensive and accessible to students and nonspecialists with an interest in the many varied fields of science and technology." "The Encyclopedia covers every aspect of science and technology, including natural history, earth science, physics, chemistry, astronomy, mathematics, information technology, and much more. Unlike most other science encyclopedias, this one also features biographies of more than 850 famous scientists." "All the articles have been compiled by academics and reviewed by curriculum developers, making the International Encyclopedia of Science and Technology an invaluable reference for adults and students."--Jacket.
