The fifth edition of the McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science & Technology is the most ambitious revision since this reference was first published in 1960. The editorial challenge was to provide adequate coverage of the rapid advances that characterized many of the sciences in recent years, and to accomplish this within prescribed limits of space and time. This edition of the Encyclopedia has, therefore, been extensively revised, reorga-nized, and expanded. It explores all important developments of the past five years and thus aims to serve the reference and educational needs of the 1980s as successfully as its predecessors served their times. The scientific achievements of recent years were sometimes dramatic and revolutionary. Sophisticated instruments and experimental methods have had an enormous impact on research and development, culminating in such diverse achievements as embryo implants, robots, gene machines, and the space shuttle. Obvious examples of advanced technology are seen in the fields of electronics and computers. Decentralization of computer systems has led to increasing use of personal microcomputers, word processors, and remote terminals to serve the needs of business, education, and home. Application areas for microprocessors include point-of-sale terminals, research instruments, machine tool controllers, and intelligent terminals as well as home appliances and automobiles. Research is accelerating in the area of artificial intelligence. Speech recognition and voice response devices are explosive new technologies. Computer graphics is widely used in design engineering, communications engineering, chemistry, and cinematography. Video disks and tapes are important new program sources for television. Computer storage technologies such as charge-coupled devices and magnetic bubble domains are now integral parts of many components. In space technology, probes that were launched in 1977 have finally completed their missions, re-turning a wealth of information about Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. The successful launch and return landing of the space shuttle Columbia opened the future for space transportation. Communications and applications satellites continue to provide expanded services throughout the world. In astrophysics, the observations of cosmic microwave radiation strengthened support for the big bang theory. There has been renewed interest in different types of aircraft for commercial, per-sonal, and industrial applications, and military aircraft include a new generation of sophisticated fighters and bombers with advanced weapon and guidance systems. Optical communications and the use of optical fibers represent one of the most important advances in the field of optics. Significant growth in laser development and applications has created something of a revolution with far-reaching impli-cations. It is now possible to detect single atoms and to generate microsecond pulses important in studying chemical reactions and physical phenom-ena. Lasers are also essential to the adaptive optics systems in astronomy and metrology. Integrated optics using lasers promises to become the counterpart of integrated circuits in optical communications. Genetic engineering, founded on the techniques of recombinant DNA that were in their infancy only five years ago, is a major scientific achievement with potential for commercial success. Gene splicing technology is having a profound impact on medical science; through manipulation of bacterial genes, scientists have succeeded in synthesizing interferon and insulin and have developed several vaccines. There are also far-reaching implications for agribusiness in terms of new plant and animal breeds that could improve the world food supply. Equally dramatic but less publicized has been the manufacture of electronically controlled gene synthesizing machines and protein sequencers. Important medical topics that received considerable attention from the press in recent years include mammography, Legionnaire's disease, endorphins, carcinogens, and computerized tomog-raphy. In the area of immunology, sophisticated analytical techniques paved the way for improved diagnosis and treatment of certain diseases as well as enhanced opportunities for organ transplants. The field of psychology, while not experiencing any dramatic breakthroughs, has also been an area of active research. In response to the energy crisis, engineers have focused on energy storage technologies, electrical power systems planning, safety standards for nuclear reactors, enhanced petroleum recovery meth-ods, and new energy sources. In industrial engi-neering, a quiet revolution has changed the emphasis from mass-production and assembly-line concerns to computerized design, automated man-ufacturing, and management-oriented problems relating to cost control and productivity. To assure continued high standards of quality, authority, accuracy, and currency in the 1982 Encyclopedia, the Board of Consulting Editors was revitalized by replacement of 30 of its 60 mem-bers, and three new advisers joined the Editorial Advisory Board. The consultants, in conjunction with the editorial staff, performed a sweeping and penetrating review of the last edition that resulted in extensive substantive and organization changes. Beyond updating and the addition of substantial new information, recasting and «modernization» of some subject areas was seen as necessary. Of the 7700 entries in the fifth edition, 2000 were revised or rewritten and 315 are new; most of the remaining articles were updated. There has also been some helpful reorganization of the material. Some highly specific subjects that were treated as separate entries in the previous edition have been grouped into longer comprehensive articles to give the reader a much wider perspective on cer tain subjects in a single range of pages. Inverted article titles have been virtually eliminated to simplify sequencing in the volumes. Moreover, there has been some minor realphabetization of article titles, in a strict word-by-word sequence. The articles are written by leading authorities, each writing about his or her particular area of expertise in clear, readable language that is useful to students and nonprofessionals as well as to pro-fessionals. The level of writing is, of course, consistent with the degree of complexity inherent in each subject, but is geared to nonspecialists. As a work of, not about science, this edition adheres to the basic approach of the original Encyclopedia in excluding historical, biographical, and philosophical considerations unless these are essential to the presentation in an article. The 15,250 illustrations include 1800 new ones and 250 that were reworked. There are also 18 new full-color plates. All the bibliographies have been updated unless recent hard-cover references were not available. Measurements are given in dual systems or the International System (SI) throughout, except for some illustrations and tables where conversion factors are preferable. This Encyclopedia is made possible through the commitments of its many contributors- almost 3500 in the 1982 edition; the guidance and support of the consultants and advisers; the dedicated efforts of the editorial and art staffs; and the cooperation and assistance of many other individuals. Through their collaboration, this work continues to be an indispensable international reference tool for any interested reader of science and technology. # of pages for each volume: 1-927, 2-790, 3-861, 4-816, 5-800, 6-814, 7-879, 8-868, 9-924, 10-854, 11-789, 12-906, 13-803, 14-827, 15-650.
