Note: Both volumes are written for both the scientist and layperson. Scientific wording is often isolated in parenthesis and italics (Like this, only in scientific wording), allowing the layperson to pass over the words arranged this way, and thereby, making a shortened version. This was done because scientific words often do not have any common synonym or phrase.
