LATIN NAMES
I have included in the text the Latin names of those species that are most important to the story. But
many other species are mentioned in passing, using their common names. Some people like to have the
Latin names too, and they do bring clarity where there may be confusion. So here is a list of common
names used in the text, followed by their Latin names. It is not exhaustive. I left out many domesticated
crops and animals, and some harvested stocks like fish. I also left out species referred to only by their
Latin names and many plants, animals, and insects where the text is not specific to species and is refer-
ring to whole genera or families of species.
