This includes not only vocabulary that appears frequently in Latin literature, but also words that have been adopted as technical terms in various scientific disciplines (especially biology). A student who has mastered the material in The Natural World will have also built up basic English and Latin vocabulary in anatomy, botany, and zoology, and will be much better prepared to read classical Roman literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eFrom the Book:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--\ntd {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":769,\"3\":{\"1\":0},\"11\":4,\"12\":0}' data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"\\\"Although Latin has been remarkably stable for over two millennia, there have been significant changes in its vocabulary and word order.
