Dictionary of Scientists (1999)

"We have attempted to include people who have produced major advances in theory or have made
influential or wellknown discoveries. A particular difficulty has been the selection of contemporary scientists, in view of the fact that of all scientists who have ever lived, the vast majority are still alive. In this we have been guided by lists of prizes and awards made by scientific societies and we have included all Nobel prizewinners in physics, chemistry, and physiology or medicine. A full list of Nobel prizewinners is given in the back of the book. We have to a great extent concentrated on what might be called the traditional pure sciences physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, and the earth sciences. We also give a more limited coverage of medicine and mathematics and have included a selection of people who have made important contributions to engineering and technology. A few of the entries cover workers in such fields as anthropology and psychology, and a small number of philosophers are represented.

Dictionary of Energy (2006)

This dictionary gives professionals across the multi-disciplinary field of energy a tool to better communicate on energy matters and understand energy issues and opportunities. This paperback edition, priced at less than half the price of the hardcover edition and expanded with over 500 new terms, makes this valuable reference available to an even wider audience beyond energy scientists, including new professionals, students, and corporate oil and gas companies.
