Dictionary of Science and Technology (Electronic book text)

Containing terms from civil, automobile and electrical engineering, chemistry, physics and biology, as well as architecture, television, radio, electronics and computing, and written in clear, simple English, this resource is ideal for those less familiar with scientific terms, and for anyone for whom English is not a first language. Entries have a part of speech, a note on grammar, an encyclopedic commentary and a sample sentence to show the term used in context. Quotations from magazines and newspapers illustrate real-life usage of key words. It is ideal for students studying GCSE, A-level, Highers, or vocational courses in science or technology, as well as all professionals needing to know specialist scientific or technical terms e.g. journalists, translators, lab technicians and administration staff.
