Media Reviews
Reviews of Prior Editions: It will find a place on the bookshelves of laboratories and libraries for many years to come. --The Times Higher Education Supplement It fills an undoubted gap and is stunningly up to date. --Biologist All the students seemed to find the dictionary of use.... -Trends in Biochemical Sciences A very useful reference book that every cell biologist should seriously consider purchasing and is a must for biology libraries. -Cell Biology International Reports The definitions are more comprehensive than one finds in most dictionaries, and should help both students and research workers in other branches of biology. -Genetical Research
