Magill's Encyclopedia of Science: Animal Life Review

“Magill's Encyclopedia of Science: Animal Life is an easy-to-use and readable reference designed for high school and undergraduate students, as well as the lay reader… Because animals are such a popular topic to research among high school and undergraduate students, this four-volume set will be welcome in both of these types of libraries.”
ARBA, 2002

“The strength of the Magill's set is its comprehensive coverage of animal life science generally, not just individual animals. A worthwhile purchase for libraries needing this type of reference.”
Library Journal, 2002

“The set is targeted at the upper middle school to high school student needing more than a few essential facts…

This is not a "beautiful" set that will attract readers who are browsing, but a functional one for students getting a start on an animal or topical report dealing with animals.”
Gale (Reference for Students), 2002
