A Dictionary of Physics

Quick, reliable physics reference at your fingertips

A Dictionary of Physics is a carefully organized reference work for readers who want clear definitions of physics terms without having to chase them across multiple sources. Edited by Richard Rennie and Jonathan Law, it brings together a broad sweep of scientific vocabulary, from core physics to closely related areas such as astronomy, astrophysics, condensed matter, quantum technology, and nanotechnology.

Built for lookup, not just browsing

This is the kind of book you keep open when you need an answer fast. Its alphabetical structure makes it easy to find terms quickly, while the e-book navigation supports searching and cross-referencing for digital reading. That makes it especially useful for students revising a topic, professionals checking terminology, or anyone building confidence with technical language.

A broad scientific reach

Although physics sits at the centre, the dictionary reaches into neighboring fields where the language naturally overlaps. That wider coverage helps the book function as a practical science reference rather than a narrowly defined glossary.

Why it works well as an ebook

• Alphabetical entries for rapid consultation
• Search-friendly digital format
• Coverage that extends beyond basic textbook terminology
• Suitable for study, desk reference, and everyday scientific lookups

A solid choice for students and reference users

If you want a dependable digital physics reference that is concise in format but broad in scope, this title fits the bill. It is designed for moments when precision matters and a quick, trustworthy explanation is worth more than a long chapter.
