The Hutchinson Science Library

Contains:

The Hutchinson Science Library, published in association with the Science Museum, London, is a unique tool for every student or general reader. Without getting up from your desk you can check formulae, keep up with the latest developments in every field from genetics to quantum theory, and see how today’s theories have developed over the centuries.

Six outstanding books, covering a vast array of scientific knowledge, are gathered together here.

The best-selling Hutchinson Dictionary of Science is the essential companion for anyone wishing to keep pace with science today. The Dictionary of Computing and Multimedia guides you through the latest terms, while the Natural History Dictionary offers a wealth of information about the natural world.

The Concise Dictionary of Medicine is a clear and balanced companion to both mainstream and complementary medicine in the 1990’s. The Dictionary of Scientists and the Chronology (a timeline of more than 2,500 key events) bring together the men and women of science – their theories, discoveries, experiments (and failures). All this is supported by lively pop-up news flashes, quotations, features, and progress reports, and a Science Quiz of over 1,200 tantalising questions to inform and entertain the whole family.

The books can be searched individually or together in any combination. You can also search directly from your word processor, or other Windows applications, simply by clicking on your chosen word and on the Science Library hot key.
