Access Science Quality encyclopedia articles from the McGraw Hill Science & Technology Encyclopedia. Of particular interest for students: topical study guides on biomedical science, chemistry, and engineering.

Burger's Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Discovery offers a comprehensive, global perspective of drug design and drug development.An entire section has been dedicated to cancer research. Areas included are those at the foreground of life science including: proteomics, genomics, bioinformatics, combinatorial chemistry, high-throughput screening, blood substitutes, allosteric effectors as potential drugs, COX inhibitors, statins, high-throughput pharmacology, and much more.

Encyclopedia of Bioprocess Technology with entries written by leading scientists and engineers from academia and industry, this work presents the state-of-the-art in biotechnology focusing on fermentation, biocatalysis and bioseparation. Coverage of applications focuses on the most current industrial practice including relevant manufacturing technology, process and facilities engineering and how they interface with worldwide regulatory requirements.

Encyclopedia of Imaging Science & Technology covers information on:

• Imaging Applications
• End User
• Spectroscopy
• Image Formation
• Detector Technology
• Digital Image Processing
• Display Technology
• Image Techniques and Systems.

Encyclopedia of Life Sciences includes almost 4000 peer-reviewed articles in the subjects of biochemistry, genetics, biology, life sciences, health sciences, genomics, and more. Articles are divided into three different categories indicating their level of complexity: Introductory, Advanced and Keynote. Introductory articles have been written primarily for undergraduate and non-specialists requiring the basic concepts of a particular subject. Advanced articles provide a more detailed discussion of specialist subjects, equivalent to that found in graduate level texts. Keynote articles provide a platform for debate where controversial issues and 'hot topics' can be discussed.

Encyclopedia of Polymer Science & Technology presents over 500 articles addressing all areas of polymer science. Updated quarterly with new and substantially revised articles. Provides information about polymers, plastics, fibers, biomaterials, elastomers, and polymerization processes.

Encyclopedia of Smart Materials addresses commercial applications as well as examining sophisticated units designed to operate in space, underwater, underground, and within the human body, and it discusses the specialized properties and coatings that are required for the use of materials in such extreme conditions. Discussions of theory, fabrication, processing, applications, and uses of these unique materials are presented.

Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology presents a wide scope of articles on chemical substances—including their properties, manufacturing, and uses. It also focuses on industrial processes and unit operations in chemical engineering, as well as covering fundamentals and scientific subjects related to the field. Additionally, environmental and health issues concerning chemical technology are also addressed.

Ullman's Encyclopedia of Industrial and Electronics Engineering subject areas include: inorganic and organic chemicals, advanced materials, pharmaceuticals, polymers and plastics, metals and alloys, biotechnology and biotechnological products, food chemistry, process engineering and unit operations, analytical methods, environmental protection, etc.
