The McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science & Technology has fulfilled the reference and educational needs of students, professionals, and librarians for over forty years throughout the world by offering reliable, comprehensive, and up-to-date information in all areas of science and engineering. The revision of the Encyclopedia has taken place over a five year period. Many articles have been revised for the ninth edition and numerous new ones added based on the assessments of our distinguished Board of Consulting Editors. Even though the goal has been a comprehensive revision, much effort was concentrated in certain areas, particularly in the biomedical sciences, information technology and computing, chemistry and chemical engineering, industrial engineering, the environmental, earth, and climate sciences, physics, and astronomy.
