Synopsis

A basic practical manual for the process of describing new species, this desperately needed desk reference and guide to nomenclatural procedure and taxonomic writing serves as a Strunk & White of species description, covering both botanical and zoological codes of nomenclature.

Henry Disney

This book is probably the most exhaustive treatment available of the practical aspects of describing new species or higher taxa.
