5.0 out of 5 stars
exhaustive listing/discussion of Greek and Latin as used in scientific context
I was looking for a book that might list Latin names of common beasties, this is much more than that. The book contains a very thorough listing of Greek and Latin words commonly used in science, how to use them properly, examples of their various forms in usage (singular versus plural, different forms of the word itself), and the nomenclatural history of certain science...

3.0 out of 5 stars
So you want to name a new species?
A classic reference work of value to systematists wishing to coin names for new species, or for scientists more generally inquisative about the origin of terms for technical words used in their subject.

I was looking for a book that might list Latin names of common beasties, this is much more than that. The book contains a very thorough listing of Greek and Latin words commonly used in science, how to use them properly, examples of their various forms in usage (singular versus plural, different forms of the word itself), and the nomenclatural history of certain science areas. There is a LOT of information packed into this volume. I think it would be a useful reference volume for anyone studying Greek, Latin or any of the sciences that rely heavily on the use of this type of nomeclature. It's just a plain interesting book to look at for the layperson as well.
