Customer Reviews

Clear explanations of Biological terms is vital for students
Science dictionaries can often be very difficult to put together in an easy to understand manner, due to the complex subject matter they often tackle. I found that this Biology dictionary offers a full and very comprehensive explanation of Biological terms. Aided with the use of simplified and clear diagrams this dictionary aims to help A-level students who are not very clear with the terms as well as university degree students. I studied Biology at Higher Level for the IB (international Baccalaureate Diploma) and found this dictionary indispensible for my studies.

A must have resource for every student
I have just started my undergraduate degree course in Biology and find this dictionary exceptionally useful. It is really well laid out and has really thorough content. It is great for helping you grasp the basic concepts if you are a bit confused over something. The suggested internet links for certain topics are listed at the back and are really useful for research purposes. I would really recommend this dictionary, it is clear, concise and a reasonable buy.
