The first edition of this dictionary, Elsevier's Dictionary of Horticulture, edited by J. Nydam and A. de Jong was published in 1970. Since that time horticulture has expanded and developed spectacularly and the aim of this second edition is to meet a worldwide need to develop close contacts and to keep up with the developments in the horticultural world. Numerous terms have been introduced, covering a far broader field than the previous dictionary.
Again English was chosen as the basic language and Portuguese has been added with Latin for the scientific names of organisms. Apart from the traditional subjects like vegetables, fruits, arboriculture, floriculture, mushrooms, crop science, plant breeding, botany and soil science, it now also includes tropical and subtropical horticulture, herbs and spices, landscaping, arable farming and grasses. More attention has been paid to market planning, economics, education, and extension and labour management. A number of terms relating to apiculture, meteorology and informatics have been introduced. Technology has been given more prominence, but so many new terms have been coined in this field that a selection had to be made. Regarding plant diseases, only general terms are mentioned; specific pests and diseases are not listed in view of the existence of specialized dictionaries. The same goes for weeds. A list of international organizations is included, with translations in English and French.

Davvero interessante.
Leggo qua
(alla voce «Colore») che le conclusioni di questo studio del 1969 (l'esistenza di universali semantici per quanto riguarda i termini di colore e di una sequenza evolutiva nell'elaborazione di questi termini) sono state confermate da studi più recenti. Al di là di questo, è affascinante vedere da vicino i metodi di una ricerca scientifica nel campo delle scienze umane e la "lentezza", la "prudenza", l'"attenzione" nel trarre conclusioni.
Notevoli gli squarci di "vecchia ricerca", con l'intreccio di buffi pregiudizi e strabilianti conclusioni: «si efectivamente la percepción de los colores se ha obtenido de modo gradual, el hombre de provenir podrá percibir los colores que come el ultravioleta son hoy invisibles y cuya existencia sólo conocemos por las propiedades quÃmicas que poseen», sosteneva nel 1924 Carlos Cuervo Marquez, citato a p. 79. Come dire che i "superpoteri" sono teorizzati a partire dall'analisi delle nostre limitate capacità … ;-)
