McGraw-Hill Concise Encyclopedia of Chemistry

Excerpts from review by K. L. Carriveau Jr., Baylor University


Entries in this work were extracted and condensed from McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science & Technology (9th ed., 20v., CH, Sep'02)... Although this version seems to meet its goal ("providing the reader with essential knowledge in chemistry without extensive detail")...the biographical section included as an appendix is useful and addresses a common need of students from high school through lower undergraduate levels...Although many of the 700 entries are dated, they are still valid and the concise edition will be valuable to special collections looking for a low-cost alternative to the full 20-volume set....McGraw-Hill Editors is the author of 'McGraw-Hill Concise Encyclopedia of Chemistry', published 2004 under ISBN 9780071439534 and ISBN 0071439536.
