Reviews

[Lafcadio · Rating 3 out of 5]

Really what I was hoping for out of this book were some Latin and Greek roots of scientific words. None. Oh well, that aside, it seems to be a pretty complete little volume. I can never tell with these things until there's something I desperately want to look up, and then I can see how satisfied I am with the answer it gives me.
