ABERCROMBIE, M.; HICKMAN, C. J. & JOHNSON, M. L.  A Dictionary Of Biology.
Penguin Books, Maryland: 1960. Softcover. Reading copy. The authors' aim is to explain biological terms which a layman may meet when reading scientific literature, and to define the terms which a student of biology has to master at the beginning of one's career - the thousand or so words which so grimly guard the approaches to science. The entries are not restricted to a bare definition, which, however valuable in keeping one to the narrow path of customary usage, can be most unhelpful in the task of understanding the word in its context. Some information about most of the things named is given,so as to convey something of their significance in biological discussion - to add a faint flavor of a pocket encyclopaedia.
