Encyclopedia of Physical Science (2 Vol){BBS} torrent

This set includes 200 alphabetically arranged articles and is “intended to complement the material typically taught in high school physics and chemistry and in introductory college physics and chemistry courses.” Examples of entries include Acid rain, Cosmology, DNA fingerprinting, Green chemistry, Magnetism, Nanotechnology, and Particle physics. There are also entries for individuals such as Richard Feynman and Rosalind Franklin. Also included are 12 feature essays, for example, “The Chemistry of Forensic Science” and “Unification: Finding Oneness in Diversity.” Hundreds of color photos and illustrations help illuminate the entries, and each entry ends with a further-reading list. Following the entries are an index and more than a dozen appendixes, including a chronology, glossary, astronomical data, abbreviations, further resources, and the periodic table of elements. Preceding the entries is a list of “Entries Categorized by National Science Education Standards for Content.” This set joins Encyclopedia of Marine Science (2008), Encyclopedia of Life Science (2009), and other authoritative and accessible Facts On File science titles and is recommended for high-school, college, and public libraries. Also available as an e-book. --Bryce Christensen
