"In the Glossary of Biotechnology and Nanobiotechnology Terms, Fourth Edition, Kimball Nill continues to improve upon the reference that for over a decade has helped thousands of professionals, including scientists in other fields, attorneys, government workers, lobbyists, venture capitalists, and university tech transfer staff to communicate successfully with those working on the cutting edge of modern science. Recognizing nanoscience's expanding contribution to biotech, Nill has taken the much appreciated step of adding relevant nano terminology to his glossary." "The Glossary of Biotechnology and Nanobiotechnology Terms, Fourth Edition is packed with over 400 pages of exceptionally well-organized and cross-referenced terminology, making it an essential reference for anyone working directly or indirectly with those pioneering the frontiers of modern biology."--BOOK JACKET.

This book includes a range of terms sufficient to satisfy the needs of any biologist, clinician, biochemistry, lawyer, physician, scientist or scholar requiring and easy reference to current usage of biotechnology.

This is more of an encyclopedic dictionary, with many entries having only a one-sentence definition. There is no index. Instead, a see reference is made for a term covered in a longer article. For example, under shoe polish is the reference "see Leather care products." This method works quite well, providing an easy way to locate discussions. The text of each longer entry is well written and understandable to the educated layperson. This book is well illustrated, with many line drawings, tables, and charts

This collection presents around 1,800 articles written by experts in their fields, resulting in a comprehensive coverage of this broad and wide-ranging subject. It is the only encyclopedia available that covers all of materials science and technology, focusing on the following areas: Functional Phenomena, Structural Phenomena, Fundamental Core Theory, Structural Materials, Polymers and Materials Chemistry, Functional Materials.
