A Dictionary of Physics (7th edition)

摘要

This is a further new edition of A Dictionary of Physics from Oxford University Press. I have reviewed many volumes in the Oxford Quick Reference series, and what I have come to do with those that are just outside my main areas of knowledge is to pick entries that are to the fringe of the subject of the book. This is, I think, fair as it will show the range of the content. The new edition is described on the cover as "the most popular dictionary of physics", and any reference book that reaches a seventh edition is clearly getting something right, which means the core items must be well covered.
