Near-new condition and well-wrapped for its delivery, the book is being an excellent reference for my studies.
by Rebecca Jenkins
This dictionary is truly brilliant! Easy to navigate, some more specialist words are missing but paired with the other books I own it really fills in all the blanks! Has words in regions of taxonomy, nutrition, behaviour etc. I am currently studying at college and this helps when you are doing extra study.
