The 11th edition of The Penguin Dictionary of Biology continues its well-established tradition of excellence and designation as the definitive, concise, cost-effective core vocabulary resource for all areas of biology. Revisions for this edition cover the most significant advances in biology since publication of the 10th edition in 2001 (see ARBA 2003, entry 1342).Entries number approximately 6,000, accompanied by numerous well-done illustrations, all of which function as pertinent learning aids. This black-and-white paperback edition is an outstanding value. If there was a "best buy" rating for dictionaries this one would be at the top of the list. This resource is highly recommended for all types of libraries-school, private, public, and academic.
