Description and Table of Contents
Description
The Cambridge Dictionary of Biology is one of the most comprehensive dictionaries published on the subject. It has been developed from the database of the acclaimed Cambridge Dictionary of Science and Technology. A major feature of the Cambridge Dictionary of Biology is the series of special articles, amounting to over one hundred all told. Many of these articles are illustrated and they supply fuller treatments of important and difficult subjects than are generally found in such a comprehensive dictionary. There are articles on AIDS, bacteria, cell cycle, cell wall, chloroplast, chromosome banding, complement, fermentation, the genetic code, genetic manipulation, immunoglobulin structure, major metabolic pathways, photosynthesis, restriction and modification, steroid hormones, thymus antigens and cells and important cellular structures and biological techniques.
