H J Gray and Alan Issacs (eds) Harlow: Longman 1975 pp iv + 619 price £12.50 This fairly successful dictionary of physics has been thoroughly revised, increased in length by about 25%, and converted to SI units. New entries reflect developments in solid state electronics, the greater importance of quantum mechanical ideas in elementary physics teaching, and recent discoveries in cosmology and astrophysics; a few entries of historical interest have fallen by the wayside, but many survive.
