Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a manual of scientific terms for students and junior students across various disciplines including botany, natural history, chemistry, anatomy, medicine, and veterinary science. It is an exhaustive list of terms and their definitions in the English language, very generally given in the language employed in the respective texts from which they are derived. The book begins with an introduction and a considerable number of examples of Latin nouns and adjectives declined, marked for pronunciation, and defined. This is followed by a list of specific names and a detailed examination of prefixes and postfixes, which are not only explained but also illustrated with examples. The roots are printed in black letters, and the prefixes and postfixes in italics. The book concludes with a list of abbreviations used by medical practitioners, with their unabbreviated forms and meanings. This volume is intended to be used by students before commencing their special studies, or, at least, in the earlier stages of them, as a daily lesson book. Let a certain portion be accurately committed to memory daily, or frequently, and the very great advantage of such a course will be seen and felt on its accomplishment, for by so doing students will attain a competent knowledge of the spellings of the terms, their pronunciation, their root-words, and their definitions. Equipped with this knowledge, they will be able to follow the lectures and instructions of their teachers and professors both with freshness and intelligence. In short, by a little hard work to begin with, their after studies will become very much more pleasant and profitable.
