Product Description

Review

a fine compendium of unquestionable use ... Make sure you have an Allaby handy Nature

Product Description

This dictionary is a comprehensive reference work on all aspects of the study of animals. Fully revised for this edition, with over 5000 entries, it provides wide coverage of topics including animal behaviour, ecology, physiology, genetics, cytology, evolution, and Earth history. There is taxonomic coverage of arthropods, other invertebrates, fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and mammals. The text has been revised to incorporate the discovery of "extremophiles" - organisms living in environments formerly considered impossibly hostile - and the toxonomic reclassification that this has entailed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very useful!, 20 Jan 2007

By	R. E. Beckett (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: A Dictionary of Zoology (Oxford Paperback Reference) (Paperback)

I like all these Oxford science dictionaries. Mine are v dog-eared from constant grabbing from my side when reading through heavy textbooks. They're great because the entries can be extensive without being too long-winded. Well cross-referenced too. Once you look up one thing you'll end up looking up far more!

4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant dictionary....certainly not comrehensive, 7 Dec 2008

By	H. Beaton (Scotland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: A Dictionary of Zoology (Oxford Paperback Reference) (Paperback)

This is a wonderful dictionary, and I will sometimes end up reading it like a book! I gave it 4 stars however basically because there do appear to be quite a few words which are completely absent where their presence would have been appreciated. However it is great, it will not be the last zoology dictionary you ever need to buy, but despite that it is worth the purchase.

3.0 out of 5 stars Oxford Dictionary of Zoology, 4 Mar 2009

By	N. Ayling - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: A Dictionary of Zoology (Oxford Paperback Reference) (Paperback)

I am a first year student doing a science degree and am not overly impressed with this book. Doesn't appear to be very compehensive. Have had to refer back to the old faithful 'Henderson's Dictionary of Biology' for quite a few zoological words that should be in it but are not.
