Reader Reviews This review is from: Hawley's Condensed Chemical Dictionary (14th Edition) (Hardcover) Also available in CD-ROM, this all-in-one resource is an authoritative reference which many scientists and learners can count on. Since its first appearance some eighty years ago, this dictionary has established itself as the ultimate tool of choice for researchers. Its extensive coverage of chemicals and pharmaceuticals is hard to rival. Users of this dictionary appreciate its concise definition of both terms and phenomena. Anybody who seeks a solid all-encompassing chemical lexicon will get the ultimate satisfaction here. Its 1300 pages are filled with the most up-to-date definitions. The only sour point, though, is that its price is on the high side. Still, it is not a bad investment. Comment | | (Report this)
