A neat reference for the sciences and literary terms, et cetera, ad infinitum. Relativity? Postmodernism? Peter Principle?

This may be the best reference book I have purchased. There are theories and laws in here I've never heard of and have used numerous times when reading older books referencing scientists and economists.
