Having studied Latin for five (long) years in high school I have been able to put together and explain some of the Latin names, but this seems to be an in-depth look at it, and the fine illustrations are the cream on top. I also didn't know the part of how DNA is changing plant names - interesting!Carola Bartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05536486322412234854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-40637411882421881662020-01-29T11:05:33.747-05:002020-01-29T11:05:33.747-05:00Me parece un libro precioso, me encantaría tener u...Me parece un libro precioso, me encantaría tener uno.

Thus it ends up showing up again in the blogroll when you did have it go live- only it doesn't show up at that time, it shows up a week earlier.<br /><br />If it happens again, I would suggest a fresh post with a link to the one that you were going to post.William Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331324250821836822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-41325409758309947992020-01-27T12:13:11.930-05:002020-01-27T12:13:11.930-05:00Your description of this book makes it very tempti...Your description of this book makes it very tempting to me, David.
