Author Description

This revised edition of Oxford's popular Little Dictionary is completely up to date in its coverage of English, with a new appendix which reviews such recent coinages as animatronics, chromosome map, pro-choice, tanga, telecottage, and zydeco. Fitting comfortably in a back-pack, briefcase, or coat pocket, it remains the ideal choice for checking spellings, meanings, and pronunciation at home, in the office, at school, or on the go.
