Features: With the continuous deepening of reform and opening up and the increasing widespread international exchanges, foreign language learning has no longer been limited to the cultivation of language skills. Acquiring professional knowledge and improving professional proficiency through English, as well as keeping up with the new developments in disciplines, have become the demands of the era. Therefore, there is an urgent need in China for a batch of professional dictionaries compiled in English. The Oxford English Encyclopedic Classification Dictionary Series is a set of reference books organized and compiled by Oxford University Press. This series covers nearly 100 fields, including linguistics, literature, culture, art, sociology, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, food and nutrition, and computer science, among both social and natural sciences. All entries are written by highly accomplished and experienced experts. As a selection, we have chosen 40 dictionaries from this series to meet the needs of domestic readers. The dictionaries use accessible English to accurately explain common professional terms, fully reflecting the rigorous tradition of Oxford University Press in publishing reference books. These dictionaries can serve as reference materials for students of various disciplines in colleges and universities, as well as for professional technicians, to study professional knowledge and improve their professional English skills.
