Elsevier's Dictionary of Geography: in English, Russian, French, Spanish and German
Vladimir Kotlyakov, Anna Komarova, "Elsevier's Dictionary of Geography: in English, Russian, French, Spanish and German"
Geography is a system of highly developed sciences about the environment. Geographical science embracing the study of the Earth's physical phenomena, people and their economic activities has always been in need of an extensive terminology. Geographical terms are related to the terms of natural sciences (physics, chemistry, biology, geology, etc.) and humanities (history, economics, sociology, etc.) since geography is based on these fundamental subjects.

Encyclopedic Dictionary of Polymers

Encyclopedic Dictionary of PolymersThe editor offers scientists, engineers, academia, and others interested in adhesives, coatings,elastomers, inks, plastics, and textiles a valuable communication tool within this book In addition, the more recent innovations and biocompatible polymers andadhesives productshave necessitated inclusion into any lexicon that addresses polymeric materials. Communication among scientific and engineering personnel has always been of critical importance, and as in any technical field, the terms and descriptions of materials and processes lag the availability of a manual or handbook that would benefit individuals working and studying in scientific and engineering disciplines. There is often a challenge when conveying an idea from one individual to another due to its complexity, and sometimes even the pronunciation of a word is different not only in different countries, but also in industries.
