Offered in 0 more formatsThe Oxford Desk Dictionary and Thesaurus offers a thoroughly integrated blend of entries from the dictionary and the thesaurus. This unified approach, treating meanings and related words within the same entry, makes it easy to find - in one place - an abundance of information about words, and provides a far deeper sense of the variety and nuances of our language than is possible in a dictionary or thesaurus alone. Plus, each synonym is precisely matched to the correct meaning of the word you're looking up so that you'll find the right word every time.
A standard reference for high school and college students, secretaries, and others who need to know only pronunciations, word division, and brief definitions. The thesaurus element consists of boxes positioned near the most common synonym and referred to by others in the meaning cluster. A number of appendices provide information a foreign publisher would think might interest Americans such as state capitals and presidents. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
