Harmondsworth. Middlesex.: Penguin, 1979. Previous owners name and date to inside cover. Slight wear to spine. In this dictionary the authors' aim is to explain biological terms which a layman may meet when reading scientific literature; to define the terms which a student of biology has to master at the beginning of his career - the thousand or so words which so grimly guard the approaches to the science; and to provide a reminder for the professional biologist reading outside his own narrow field. The entries are not restricted to a bare definition: some information about most of the things named is given, so as to convey something of their significance in biological discussion. The authors have tried, as it were, to interpret a foreign language as it is actually used. It would be wrong to reply on etymology as a guide to correct usage. The meaning of a Greek root many be unequivocal, but biologists are not talking Greek: they are using a living language, and the proof of the meaning is in the… Read More

London England: Butterworths, 1976. Reforms and changes in the law have continued unabated since the publication of the second edition. The most radical development has been the entry of the United Kingdom into the European Community. This has introduced new sources of law into the English legal system, both in the form of legislation and by way of the decisions of the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg. On the institutional plane we have seen the system of Assizes swept away after seven hundred years, together with the Quarter Sessions which have served the community for centuries. The new Crown Court is now a well-established substitute. From the point of view of the individual living in a difficult economic climate, the most hopeful development has been the recent growth of interest in consumer protection by the legislature, the Fair Trading Act passed in 1973 and the Consumer Credit Act of 1974 which is being implemented gradually, offering a fairer balance in dealings between ordinary people… Read More
