[Calahan Knapp · Rating 4 out of 5]

WNWD is most useful in establishing the foundation of wordly matters concerning physical reality, the explication of classical philosophical terms, and supplying a complete range of poetic descriptions relating to human experiences. What it avoids is crossing the threshold of controversy by shying away from technical definitions which could be morbidly disturbing, and instead settles for drier, unassuming definitions of potentially-offensive words. The worst forms of hateful language and bigotry from earlier eras have been censored out of the language at the expense of also losing some other powerful innovative content from older intellectuals.

The best dictionary I have come across.
