Grade 9 Up–Two hundred forty-five alphabetically arranged, signed essays, each about four to five pages in length, covering significant advances in biology, chemistry, computer science, psychology, and other scientific disciplines. Each clearly written entry provides a short definition of the discovery, its significance, and a listing of key scientists involved. A complete discussion follows, concluding with cross-references and a bibliography. About half the articles have sidebars spotlighting individuals, as well as specific descriptions of episodes pertaining to their discoveries. Scattered throughout are 62 black-and-white diagrams, a few charts, and more than 160 photographs. The third volume provides a list of the Nobel Prize winners in chemistry, medicine, and physics from 1901 until 2005, a list of useful Web sites, a time line of events from 585 B.C.E. through September 2005, and category, personage, and subject indexes.
