Hello to all It is an incredibly useful text and not only for scientific words. My mother introduced me to it before I could read it as it was the book that would answer my varying questions about scientific names which started for me at a very early age. She was introduce to it by her major professor as a "must have" reference when she was describing and naming newly described fossil plant species about 40 years ago. It has since become a "must have" reference for me as well. Alani Davis On 8/29/07, carlobal@netzero.net <carlobal@netzero.net> wrote: > > > Alani, > > Thanks for the reference.
