Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Applied Biology an Elementary Textbook and Laboratory Guide
A noticeable feature of the book is omission or at least lack of emphasis upon several hundred technical terms commonly used in elementary books of botany and zoology. Italics have been used for emphasizing the most important scientific terms when introduced and defined, while technical words in the plain type should be understood by students as important for special study, for temporary use in the text, or for com parison with other books. The authors realize that in select ing the biological terms for emphasis they may have omitted some really useful terms, and it may be that certain italicized words which have a narrow range of application do not deserve the emphasis given them. A further discussion of this ques tion of technical words will be included in the Teachers' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
