Dictionary of Bioscience

Summary: Fun
Review: This is a wonderful dictionary! It has a logical setup, and most of the terms are defined under more than one biological discipline, making an important distinction between different applications of the term. The best part about this dictionary is the sheer bulk of terms it defines, far more than any other modestly priced dictionary out there. The only disadvantage is that there are still a bunch of terms they are missing, so when reading journal articles only half of my questions are answered without hitting any textbook glossaries. They have a whole slew of ridiculous terms in there as well, making it amusing to flip through. I suggest you buy it if you are a student and have about $20 bucks to burn.
