This new edition of Webster's New Explorer Dictionary and Thesaurus is comprehensive and completely up-to-date. The dictionary, with a total of 75,000 clear, concise definitions, has been revised and updated to incorporate more than 2,000 words that have only recently entered the language. New words like digital camera, fuzzy logic, gazillion, and webcast reflect the English language as we use it today.
The all-new thesaurus was created to make the task of finding the right word easier than ever. It has 30,000 entries with tens of thousands of synonyms. Each entry states the core meaning that all the synonyms share. Examples of how each word is properly used provide additional guidance.
The full-color atlas puts the world at your fingertips. Updates reflects all the recent changes to country names and borders.
Authoritative
The dictionary and thesaurus were created in cooperation with the editors of Merriam-Webster. Specializing in dictionaries and other language reference producers a tradition of quality that dates back to Noah Webster. The atlas was created by mapmakers of Encyclopaedia Britannica, the world's standard reference for over 235 years.
