Naturally Speaking is a book of quotations. It provides about 1500 quotations pertaining to nature, biology, and botany. Some quotes are profound, others are wise, some are witty but none are frivolous. Here you will find quotations from the most famous to the unknown. You may not find all the quoted `jewels' that exist, but we are sure you will find a great many of them here. The extensive author and subject indexes provide you with the perfect tool for locating quotations for practical use or pleasure, and you will soon enjoy discovering what others have said on topics ranging from adaptation to zoology . This book will be a handy reference for the biologist or the botanist or scientific reader and the wider public interested in who has said what on nature, biology, or botany.
Readership: Professionals, teachers, students and general readers interested in nature, biology or botany and its impact on life.
