Today, this book is not only the most time-tested and bestselling thesaurus ever, but, newly revised, it is also the most up-to-dateand comprehensive reflection of theEnglish language as it is currently used.</p><p align="left">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 <i>Roget's International Thesaurus</i> both the most efficient word finder and a cutting-edge aid in stimulating thought, organizing ideas, and writing and speaking more clearly and effectively.</p><p align="left">This revised and updated sixth edition features thousands of new words and phrases, including the newest slang words and expressions that color and inform everyday language. At the same time, it retains all of the hallmarks that have made <i>Roget's international Thesaurus</i> an enduring classic:</p><p align="left"><ul type="disc"><li>More than 330,000 words and phrases organized into 1,075 categories.</li></ul></p><p align="left"><ul type="disc"><li>A pinpoint reference system that directs the user quickly from a comprehensive index to the numbered category of the right word. Thousands of cross-references throughout lead to other helpful categories.</li></ul></p><p align="left"><ul type="disc"><li>Hundreds of supplemental word lists that supply the names of things which have no synonyms (measurements, wines, weapons, animals, state mottoes, and more) as well as hundreds of quotations that amplify the meanings of selected words.</li></ul></p><p align="left">Generations of students, writers, editors, and speakers have made Roget's the most popular word reference book next to the dictionary. Continuing a legacy that dates back more than 150 years, <i>Roget's International Thesaurus</i> is an indispensable work for everyone who wants to use the English language with clarity and precision.</p> 833871 book 15 11 2001 Roget's International Thesaurus, Indexed, Sixth Edition Revised & Updated total:12|5:9|4:2|3:1| 12 56 24 1 5 1 false false Sat Dec 22 10:52:49 -0800 2007 Sat Dec 22 23:42:25 -0800 2007 0 0 false false Thu Sep 17 06:48:13 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 17 07:28:49 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun May 31 18:06:48 -0700 2009 Sun May 31 18:06:48 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat May 23 15:06:59 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 04 06:13:13 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri May 22 22:12:19 -0700 2009 Fri May 22 22:12:19 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Apr 25 19:25:50 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 25 19:25:50 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Mar 14 21:12:48 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 14 21:12:54 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jan 18 19:46:25 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 18 19:46:25 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 02 21:48:39 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 02 21:48:39 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Fri Oct 24 02:25:22 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 24 02:25:22 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Wed Oct 15 17:18:42 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 15 17:18:42 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sat Mar 29 05:08:38 -0700 2008 Sat Mar 29 05:08:38 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Jan 31 18:32:27 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 31 18:32:27 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Sun Jan 27 18:59:12 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 27 18:59:12 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sun Jan 27 16:12:11 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 27 16:12:11 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Thu Jan 17 13:16:34 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 17 13:16:34 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Fri Jan 11 10:57:26 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 11 10:57:26 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Thu Dec 20 07:49:50 -0800 2007 Thu Dec 20 07:49:50 -0800 2007 5 0 false false Sun Dec 16 21:56:00 -0800 2007 Sun Dec 16 21:56:00 -0800 2007 0 0 false false Wed Dec 12 09:23:28 -0800 2007 Wed Dec 12 09:23:31 -0800 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=848356
