The Facts on File Marine Science Handbook
by Scott McCutcheon, Bobbi McCutcheon
Pages: 266
Publisher: Checkmark Books
Edition: 2003
Language: English
ISBN: 978-0816048126
Description
The glossaries are extensive although not exhaustive. The definitions are clear and easy to understand. The brief biographies are balanced in terms of gender, ethnicity, and specialization. Some have portraits. Charts and tables are well chosen, offering a wide variety of information. Especially helpful are the prefix and suffix charts in Marine Science and the constants, abbreviations. The indexes are just adequate and in extremely small print, but the cross-references in the body help make up for that. In every section there are guide words at the top and bottom of each page that include first and last terms on that page.
