The Gale Encyclopedia of Science, Third Edition
has been designed with ease of use and ready reference
in mind.
• Entries are alphabetically arranged across six volumes,
in a single sequence, rather than by scientific field
• Length of entries varies from short definitions of one or
two paragraphs, to longer, more detailed entries on
more complex subjects.
• Longer entries are arranged so that an overview of the
subject appears first, followed by a detailed discussion
conveniently arranged under subheadings.
• A list of key terms is provided where appropriate to define
unfamiliar terms or concepts.
• Bold-faced terms direct the reader to related articles.
• Longer entries conclude with a “Resources” section,
which points readers to other helpful materials (including
books, periodicals, and Web sites).
• The author’s name appears at the end of longer entries.
His or her affiliation can be found in the “Contributors”
section at the front of each volume.
• “See also” references appear at the end of entries to
point readers to related entries.
• Cross references placed throughout the encyclopedia
direct readers to where information on subjects without
their own entries can be found.
• A comprehensive, two-level General Index guides
readers to all topics, illustrations, tables, and persons
mentioned in the book.
