N1  - "First published 1977"--T.p. verso; Although this dictionary is concerned primarily with the terminology of contemporary physics, words with a physical basis that are used in other scientific fields, such as physical chemistry, computing, astronomy, geophysics, medical physics, engineering subjects and music, have also been included. SI units are used throughout. The dictionary should thus prove useful to students and teachers of physics and related subjects, to doctors and to scientists, technologists and technicians in research and industry. It contains many long entries in which a word of major importance is defined and discussed together with closely associated words. Shorter definitions supplement the longer entries
