Visual English Dictionary

by Jean-Claude Corbeil

One of the distinctive marks of the Oxford Visual English Dictionary is its exhaustive treatment of topics. For example, the section on Society deals extensively with the main aspects of contemporary life, covering common public places such as the restaurant, the cinema as well as subjects such as the structure of governments, the evolution of key architectural and artistic movements, and religions of the world and places of worship. Equally detailed treatment is given to a wide variety of topics from Astronomy and the earth to the human being and sports and games. This is an invaluable addition to the family reference shelf, and an essential tool for translators, teachers, and students.
