Welcome to Science in Dispute. Our aim is to facilitate scientific exploration and understanding by presenting pro-con essays on major theories, ethical questions, and commercial applications in all scientific disciplines. By using this adversarial approach to present scientific controversies, we hope to provide students and researchers with a useful perspective on the nature of scientific inquiry and resolution.

World of Microbiology and Immunology is a collection of 600 entries on topics covering a range of interests—from biographies of the pioneers of microbiology and immunology to explanations of the fundamental scientific concepts and latest research developments. In many universities, students in the biological sciences are not exposed to microbiology or immunology courses until the later half of their undergraduate studies. In fact, many medical students do not receive their first formal training in these subjects until medical school.

World War II: Biographies presents the life stories of thirtyone individuals who played key roles in World War II. The many noteworthy individuals involved in the war could not all be profiled in a single-volume work. Stories were selected to give readers a wide perspective on the war and the people who played a part in it, including political and military leaders, enlisted men, and civilians. World War II: Biographies includes readily recognizable figures such as U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, as well as lesser-known individuals such as Franz Jaggerstatter, an Austrian conscientious objector killed by the Nazis for refusing to serve in the German army, and Dorothy Thompson, an American journalist who wrote against Hitler’s political and social policies in the years before the war.

Between 1939 and 1945 a war was fought among all the major powers of the world. It was a war that affected a vast percentage of the world’s population. More people died during World War II than had died in any previous war. From the soldiers on the front lines to the citizens on the home front, World War II: Primary Sources tells the story of the war in the words of the people who lived it.

First published in 1991, revised in 1996, and here presented in its third iteration, this six-volume reference is written for high school students and lay adults and is intended as an authoritative, accessible source of information about all fields of science. Arrangement of some 2,000 entries is alphabetical, and, somewhat redundantly, each volume devotes 19 pages to an alphabetical listing of all topics in the set. the subject index is in volume 6. Unfortunately, a thematic listing of entries is not provided. This deficiency makes it difficult to determine how material has been selected or balanced among the disciplines and to understand what types of entries (e.g. biographies, animal descriptions, diseases) predominate. Each signed entry includes a short listing of books, periodicals, and other resources, as well as cross references-- which could have been aggregated to prepare a thematic index. Key terms are highlighted in bold type (a distraction for some readers). handily, definitions are included in boxes within the articles, but a comprehensive glossary would have been useful. Photos (most in color) and some diagrams support rather than dominate the text.
