Book Overview
Based on the extremely successful Little Oxford Dictionary, this new Oxford color dictionary provides quick access to the spelling and meaning of more than 50,000 words. Now enhanced by an attractive color layout that highlights headwords and key words and phrases, this handy reference provides all the critical information you need when away from home or the library. With many outstanding features based on the needs and comments of users and experts, The Oxford Color Dictionary offers guidance on alternative and difficult spellings, special new panels explaining points of grammar and grammatical terminology, expanded coverage of new technical and scientific terms (with new words, such as chatline, ciabatta, ethnic cleansing, political correctness, ram-raiding, and ungreen), and completely up-to-date coverage of idiomatic English, from carer to galleria, to mountain bike. In addition, this light and portable reference includes appendices of countries, peoples of the world, and weights and measures, as well as new usage notes offering advice on common problems, and pronunciations for awkward words.
