Book excerpt: Is pharmacology getting you down? Is the list of drugs or medications you must learn daunting? Are the names obscure and obtuse?To learn medications you need to learn their names. If the names make no sense, looking as if someone dumped scrabble pieces onto the table, then there is no "hook" for you to remember them.The author breaks down the generic name and a trade name, for over 400 medications, showing you where the name came from. This will help give you a hook to learn the medications and will give you some interesting facts about them.The author spent five years compiling this book. He did it to learn medication names while attending paramedic school and nursing school which are two of his six degrees: He has three associates degrees, a bachelors, a masters degree, and a professional degree.The authors says some of the name meanings were easy to find but the majority took research into the medications' researchers, history, discovery, design, synthesis, organic chemistry, patents, developers, or marketers. Finding this information helped to change those mysterious and obtuse names into ones that could be understood and hooked into memory.
Book Synopsis Birds What's in a Name? by : Peter Barry

Book excerpt: Have you ever looked through the names in a bird book and thought It's all Greek to me! ? This entertaining and informative guide to bird names explains the meanings behind the names, many of which have fascinating origins and stories behind them. The universal system of `scientific' names, based largely on Greek and Latin, is used in all good bird books and assists birdwatchers around the world in figuring out exactly what they are looking at. While some of the names are fairly self explanatory- such as Troglodytes for the wrens, meaning `cave-dweller' - others are more mysterious. For example, did you know that the scientific name for the Ruff compares the bird to a jousting horseman - a reference to its spectacular display in the breeding season. Covering 600 bird species from around the world, Birds: What's In A Name? includes explanations for names for everything.

Author :John Ayto Publisher :A&C Black Business Information and Development ISBN 13 :9780713674989 Total Pages :576 pages Book Rating :4.6/5 (749 download)
Download or read book Word Origins written by John Ayto and published by A&C Black Business Information and Development. This book was released on 2008-05-29 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The average contemporary English speaker knows 50,000 words. Yet stripped down to its origins, this apparently huge vocabulary is in reality much smaller, derived from Latin, French and the Germanic languages. It is estimated that every year, 800 neologisms are added to the English language: acronyms (nimby), blended words (motel), and those taken from foreign languages (savoir-faire). Laid out in an A-Z format with detailed cross references, and written in a style that is both authoritative and accessible, Word Origins is a valuable historical guide to the English language.
