Along with chemistry, physics, and biology, the major scientific disciplines are represented in this alphabetically arranged work including astrology, ethnology, and zoology, among many others. The coverage is not limited to just one geographical area but is world-wide, tracing science from its traditional centres and explaining how non-western societies have modified and contributed to its global arena. 000276437 650_0 $$aScience$$xHistory$$vEncyclopedias. 000276437 650_0 $$aScience$$xSocial aspects$$vEncyclopedias. 000276437 7001_ $$aHeilbron, J.
