YA-- Clearly worded definitions presented in an appealing format make this an essential reference work. Students with assignments in science, social science, health, computers, etc., will find it a great resource. Definitions are often cross-referenced, thus opening up new avenues for research. Appendixes include acronyms, abbreviations, unit equivalents, concentrations, and chemical elements. Multiple copies would be well used.

This environmental dictionary includes over 3000 terms, with heavy emphasis on U.S. government agencies and laws, chemistry, engineering, public policy, and environmental health. Words and phrases such as "rad," "greenhouse effect," "ozone layer," and "nuclear winter" are all here. A useful list of acronyms such as EPA, EIS, and GRAS is also included. Unfortunately, there is no pronunciation guide. Michael Allaby's Dictionary of the Environment (Macmillan, 1989. 3d ed.) includes more on flora and fauna, less on law and engineering, so the two are complementary. This title, with so few competitors, seems essential for most public and science libraries.

"Overall, Adam and Humphreys have successfully brought together a wide range of topics into a simple collection of well-written essays. Academic in nature, this encyclopedia will be useful to those who make decision support systems, as well as those who work n the development of decision support technologies." --American Reference Annual, Vol. 40 (2009)
Product Description
As effective organizational decision making is a major factor in a companys success, a coherent, comprehensive account of current available research on the core concepts of the decision support agenda, is in high demand by academicians and professionals alike.
The Encyclopedia of Decision Making and Decision Support Technologies presents a critical mass of research on the most up-to-date research on human and computer support of managerial decision making, including discussion on support of operational, tactical, and strategic decisions, human vs. computer system support structure, individual and group decision making, and multi-criteria decision making.

A comprehensive yet accessible resource on this time period, Encyclopedia of the Enlightenment, Revised Edition is a valuable and unique tool for students and the general public. Still the only one-volume encyclopedia on this intensively studied subject, the revised edition has been substantially expanded and thoroughly updated to include recent scholarship. In particular, the volume now covers a greater geographical area and a more diverse group of historical figures. Building on the foundation of the successful previous edition, Encyclopedia of the Enlightenment, Revised Edition addresses a core subject of the school curriculum. With broad cultural and geographical coverage, this valuable and authoritative reference features articles on general topics such as science, education, art and architecture, aesthetics, and music; personalities; countries; notable works; and concepts. For the revised edition, many of the core entries have been expanded, and all articles have been revised and updated based on current research. New material includes approximately 125 new entries, new illustrations, further reading lists with all major articles, a new preface, and a revised chronology, bibliography, and index.
