9780444416643: Materia Medica (v.2) (Dictionary of Pharmaceutical Science and Techniques)

Synopsis

This second volume of the "Dictionary of Pharmaceutical Science and Techniques" presents the equivalents in six languages of substances of vegetal and animal origin which enter into the composition of drugs for human and animal consumption. The work comprises a basic table of the terms and their synonyms in English, arranged alphabetically, followed by their translations in French, German, Spanish, Italian and Latin. This arrangement facilitates a most convenient reference system for scientific researchers and translators. The incorporation of the terms in Latin will be particularly useful for those working in countries where scientific terminology is predominantly in this language. Although the dictionary does not aim to be exhaustive, it should prove a valuable tool for scientific researchers and translators involved in the field of pharmaceutical science.

Review

The excellent multilingual indexing of this book ensures its usefulness to the student and researcher battling with foreign literature. The Pharmaceutical Journal This should prove a valuable work, as few foreign-language lists of such terms exist, and there is a growing interest in herbal medicine and medicinal plants by scientists and laypersons alike.
