International Encyclopedia Of Abbreviations And Acronyms In International Encyclopedia of Abbreviations and acronyms in science and technology.Compiled by Michael Peschke 1995ff. 17 vols. c. 400 pages per volume. http://www.saur.de/Titel/inencab.htm
Extractions: In this day and age, science and technology are undergoing faster and more complex changes than ever before. Thus technical terminology, becoming more and more differenciated, is adding to the volume of abbreviations at an increasing rate. The International Encyclopedia of Abbreviations and Acronyms of Science and Technology is an im- portant tool for deciphering new abbreviations and acronyms. The present work lists more than 680,000 abbreviations from science and technology in alphabetical order. The terms enclosed were selected on the basis of extensive study over several years of relevant sources. The encyclopedia is based on detailed and systematic evaluation of countless specialist publications such as monographs, periodicals, encyclopedias, material published by specialists' associations and standardization committees, official publications and indexes. Relevant material written not only in English but also in other languages was taken into account. This reference work will be of great value to engineers, lecturers and students dealing with specialist material. Furthermore it will prove an indispensable tool for translators of technical texts, librarians and specialist suppliers. Anybody interested in science and technology may confidently turn to the present work for advice.
