Description

With this puppy on your shelf, you'll never be at a loss for words. Actually, this is way beyond the puppy level - 1,072 categories with more than 325,000 words and phrases. This is a big book, so let me describe it a little. There are two parts to the book - the first half of the book is arranged by category; the second half is an index. The index is used to find a different meaning of the word you are looking up, which then refers you to the category where you will find a whole paragraph of synonyms and related words. The categories are further arranged by parts of speech: e.g. words related to that one word are divided into nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs for easier use. It's a 1,282-page, paperback book which may require two hands to take down and put back on the shelf, but when its Roget's, you know it's had more than 200 years of polishing and refining. Note: contains some inappropriate language. ~ Zach

Publisher's Description of 65089

A newly revised and updated 8th edition of the world's bestselling thesaurus, featuring thousands of new words and phrases, including the newest slang words and expressions that inform everyday language. It retains all marks that have made Roget's International Thesaurus® the most popular word reference book next to the dictionary.

A classic reference book that has been used by millions all over the world, Roget's International Thesaurus® is the product of more than a century and a half of continual expansion, reorganization, and improvement. Today this book is not only the most time-tested and bestselling thesaurus ever, but it is also the most up-to-date and comprehensive reflection of the English language as it is currently used.

The revolutionary achievement of Dr. Peter Mark Roget's first edition in 1852 was the development of a brand-new principle: the arrangement of words and phrases according to their meanings. Dr. Roget's system brings together in one place all the terms associated with a single thought or concept; it allows a wide-ranging survey of language within a book of relatively modest size, without the space-consuming repetitions that so severely limit the scope of thesauruses arranged in a dictionary format with A-to-Z entries. This brilliant organization makes Roget's International Thesaurus® both the most efficient word finder and a cutting-edge aid in stimulating thought, organizing ideas, and writing and speaking more clearly and effectively.
