Book Description

Most dictionaries seem lopsided--words, words, words! What about the right side of your brain? If you've ever been frustrated with a written definition that didn't quite evoke the sweaty, dirty reality of its subject, the DK Illustrated
Oxford Dictionary should have a place on your reference shelf. Created by the image wizards at Dorling Kindersley and the emperors of etymology at Oxford University Press, this 1,000-page tome contains 180,000 clear, up-to-date entries and over 5,000
sharp color pictures that are perfect matches for the words they seek to explain.
Also valuable are the simple, informative reference pages; physical and political maps, calendars and units of measure, and rules of style all shine from the page
with the intensity of a laser (see diagram, p. 457). Whether you want a more intimate knowledge of gearbox than "the casing that encloses a set of gears" or a visual awareness of the tiniest parts of an insect's body--or even just a high-quality book of
words--the DK Illustrated Oxford Dictionary is the clear choice. --Rob Lightner
Product Description:
The ultimate family reference choice for the new millennium. Setting a new standard in American dictionaries, the authoritative text of Oxford
University Press is combined with the clear design and compelling images of DK Publishing to make this the most accurate and accessible illustrated dictionary available today. With over 180,000 concise definitions and entries.
