Pharmaceutical Latin [Book review]

Abstract

This excellent and very useful book has two aims: teaching Latin and Medicine. The delight achieved in reading it is, therefore, twofold from beginning to end. It does not attempt to teach Latin before Pharmaceutical terms, nor the latter before the former. It teaches both disciplines in a clear way through plenty of illustrations, the source of which are provided at the end of the book. The inclusion of these illustrations is made possible thanks to the largeness of the pages. Its pedagogical method is that of teaching through exercises, which include quizzes, crossword puzzles and simple exercises, like those of finding synonyms and opposites, translations and giving the correct grammatical forms.
