The border between the United States of America and Mexico is the busiest in the world. This area is also the meeting place of the two great cultures of the Western Hemisphere, Spanish-speaking Latin America and English-speaking North America. Recent demographic migrations coupled with increasing globalization have necessitated closer cooperation and communication between these groups.
The area of communication of this dictionary centers around the vernacular or common names of plants. Many recent immigrants from Mexico and further south have gained employment in areas of agriculture, landscaping, and commercial plant nurseries. The new residents also bring with them a rich history of herbal medicines that are becoming increasingly popular in the United States. Both groups share interests in each other's cuisines with respect to food plants and spices.
This dictionary contains the Latin, English, and Spanish names for over 7,000 species of the most important plants found mainly in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. Included are native and naturalized plants as well as plants of economic value. The main section of the book is organized alphabetically by the scientific Latin genus and species of each plant. The book is also fully indexed by common names primarily in American-English and Mexican-Spanish.

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 … ;-)
