Críticas:
In many libraries, the McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology is the first source patrons consult when beginning background research on a scientific topic. Written by an outstanding international team of 500 subject experts, including 25 Nobel Prize winners, this encyclopedia is aimed at a nonspecialist audience. ... New to this edition is a free companion Web site [http: //MHEST.com] that offers updates of a few critical articles. The strengths of this encyclopedia are authoritative content written at a level accessible to the student or layperson and the exceptionally broad range of topics from every field of modern science and technology. ... recommended for most high-school, academic, and public libraries.. Reviewer: Nancy Cannon. . In the age of "Googling" and pervasive first-use of Wikipedia (CH, Mar'06), researchers need to have foundational reference works that reflect strict editorial policies. This encyclopedia (1st edition, 1960) has served librarians and students at all levels for nearly 50 years with lucid explanations of the components of modern science and technology. The more than 7,000 articles are authored or coauthored by approximately 5,300 individuals drawn chiefly from the US academic community, with representation from corporations and independent research institutions. On the short end are articles without illustration that run 600 words. Most concepts, however, run two to three times that length (and many significantly longer), and are supported by simple dichromatic diagrams, figures, equations, and charts. A bibliography of core books, conference papers, and peer-reviewed articles is appended to virtually all of these, and cross-references are inserted as needed. ... As expected, topics that are stable have changed little from the ninth edition (CH, Sep'02). Areas that are expanding greatly (such as the medically related fields), or areas with broadening applications (such as microelectromechanical systems, or MEMS), are given detailed treatment. The content is aimed at users with a serious need to build an understanding of the often-complex nature of a concept, organism, or process, and who are involved in an exercise of self-education. For those who need briefer explanations, one- and two-volume titles are available that might be preferable. A companion Web site will provide updates to this encyclopedia. As with earlier editions, the final volume is the analytical index. Forlibraries that do not provide online access through AccessScience (CH, Jan'08), this set is an essential investment. Although an older edition of some reference titles may be acceptable, in this instance the updates are significant enough to make the purchase advisable. Summing Up: Highly recommended.
