Dictionary Biology Woods 1966 This work provides Greek and Latin terms for common English words that might be useful for biological nomenclature. For example, the "adaptable form" of the Greek and Latin terms for the English word "descending" are given as catabatos and descendens, respectively.

Stapleton Call Number [REF] QH83 .W58 Encyclopedia Interdisciplinary Hessenbruch, ed. 2000 This work is essentially a cross between an encyclopedia and a bibliography, providing both brief entries on specific topics in the history of science, as well as extensive lists of books and additional readings. The suggested readings are listed ahead of the actual entry on a given topic. The book provides numerous ways to search for information: a thematic index allows you to search for entries based on their theme, such as "Institutions;" a booklist index provides a complete list of all of the books that are suggested in the various entries, alphabetically by author; and a general index allows you to search for specific words or concepts.
