Aprašymas
Have you ever wondered where scientific words and names come from? Why are honey bees known as 'Apis mellifera', why is a daisy known as 'Bellis perennis'? If you are curious about words you can use this book to find out exactly what 'artiodactyl' means, what an 'ectoloph' is and where you can find 'Cantium'. Within this book are over 13,296 entries, plus directions for using the word-roots, rules of pronunciation, guidance for constructing scientific names and general principles of transliteration. Additionally there are eleven appendices listing the adjectival forms of Geographical Names; Deities, Mythology and Figures from Antiquity; Eons, Eras, Periods, Epochs & Ages; Common Rocks and Minerals; some common terms for animals, plants and structures, activities and habitats; shapes, sizes, colours, textures, patterns, numbers, quantity, direction and location, parts of the year and chemical elements. This dictionary will be especially useful to students from many fields and particularly those from medical and biological backgrounds, as well as being a valuable addition to any reference collection.
