Reviews
From the reviews: "This encyclopedia, which author Ben-Menahem ... calls his treatise, is the product of 27 years of hard work. ... The content covers all theoretical and experimental milestones in scientific and technological fields and extends to social issues. ... This encyclopedia is truly one of a kind within the subject of the history of science and will be a good addition to collections needing material on natural and mathematical sciences. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-level undergraduates and above; general readers." (N. N. Xiao, Choice, Vol. 47 (7), March, 2010) "This is probably the most comprehensive encyclopedia of natural and mathematical sciences one has ever seen. ... Numerous tables of the lifespan of researcher or tables to describe symbols are included as well as many appendices including additional material. Each chapter is accompanied by a bibliography, a name index, and a subject index. ... definitely sets high standards not only from the point of view of its content but also from its appearance. ... printed on high quality paper and the text is superbly readable." (Thomas Sonar, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1175, 2010) "Provide a 'comprehensive treatise that blends the essential historical data (chronology, biographies, major background political and economical events, etc.) together with science proper (principles, laws, experiments, observations, theories, equations, etc.)' ... . Ben-Menahem's approach is purely chronological; history is presented as just one damn thing after another. ... a useful and historically sensitive approach ... . appeal to non-academics ... ."

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

I was pleasantly surprised by how soon I received this textbook given that it shipped from outside the U.S. It was packaged well with no damage. The price was right. And I greatly appreciated the communication informing me where the book was shipping from and including a tracking number. Overall, a positive experience, - online shopping the way it should be. I've bought books from this seller several times now without any complaints and will surely buy from them again. Thanks a lot!

Quality and hard to find book that won't be released 'til January 2025 in the U.S.A.
Fantastic price.
Book was in a secure and protective package. Arrived a few days after I placed order and that was faster than I expected.
Seller is a fantastic communicator and proactive in regards to tracking status. I'd definitely buy from them in the future.
