I like to separate glues by their primary property. A.    Reactive or catalyzed glues. This group includes the epoxy resins and resorcinol glues (These glues typically are a two part glue with a resin and harder.)  The glue may react with the natural lipophilic resins, phenols (natural alcohols) or saccharides (complex sugars) in the material glued to form their bond.  In some cases such as the epoxies, they may rely mainly mechanical adhesion with the microscopic surface imperfections.
