From reading the other reviews, I was hopeful that buying this book would mean the end of me scouring the internet for definitions of biology terms. That didn’t happen. Even as it has some fantastic in-depth definitions, I just don’t find about 40% of the words I look for! My concentration is genetics and immunology (which this dictionary should cover, on an undergrad level at least) and I’ve found this book to be more a source of frustration than aid. It was not a worthwhile buy. So I’m still in the market for a excellent bio dictionary.

I have owned this book for more than 5 years. It has been my collection books for a long time. This is a fantastic reference when I was taking all my microbiology and molecular biology classes in undergrad. This book has helped me tremendously on understanding the concept and definition of the microbio for the last 2 years of my college. I revere this dictionary a lot,I am only trying to sell it b/c of tender, and that I am no longer in microbiology field. But from the bottom of my heart, this is certainly a fantastic resource to look up if you need a better understanding of biology.

This book was invaluable to me during my tenure as a graduate student in molecular biology. It is very comprehensive, simple to use and to know. It is a fantastic asset to anyone studying a biology correlated field at an undergraduate or graduate level. It is particularly helpful when reading papers from research journals. Worth every penny.
