Synopsis The great difficulty with studying biology is the thousands of terms, many of them with Latin origins, that a student has to know and remember. This dictionary gives lucid and detailed explanations of most of such terms – elementary as well as advanced. But, the usefulness of this dictionary does not end here. The Latinised terms are broken into parts and their meanings given, which makes it easier to remember them. There is a scientific basis to tanomocial classifications and names which, once grasped, makes it easier to remember and use them. The conceptual basis of such important length. A special feature of the dictionary is the thumbnail biographies of famous biologists which, we hope, shall inspire the young students. Lastly, the dictionary contains quite technical scientific details of new machinery used in biological and medical sciences. We are sure the dictionary will be liked by the budding biologists and medical practitioners.
