obsessive-compulsive desire for biological knowledge might want to buy this
9-volume monster, the Encyclopedia of Human Biology edited by Renato
Dulbecco. The rest of us will have to be content with recommending it to our
librarians. Tell them to buy it soon because it’s already showing its age. There
are hundreds of useful essays,covering everything from follicles to Freud and
crying to cryofixation. Published by Academic Press, £1500, ISBN
0122269705.
