Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, an exhaustive chromotaxia, or color taxonomy, presents a methodical scholarly mapping of the language and concepts of color. Previously, color classifications within the natural sciences, such as botany and zoology, had limited utility due to inconsistent and imprecise terminology. To address this, the author painstakingly defines and categorizes colors, providing an archive of their Latin names, synonyms, and equivalents in Italian, French, German, and English. The book further elicits examples from nature and etymology for illustrative purposes. The author anticipates this book will be used for a wide array of professions such as botany, zoology, and arts professions to ensure color descriptions are accurate and consistent, which is crucial for effective communication in the natural sciences.
