About This Book

"Edited by Archie Hobson, The Oxford Dictionary of Difficult Words focuses on words that are outside most people's normal vocabularies, but that are encountered relatively frequently. The dictionary spans many subject areas, including literature, science, law, philosophy, business, and art.".

"With more than 10,000 words, and including parts of speech, easy-to-use pronunciations, concise definitions, and sample sentences showing the word in context, The Oxford Dictionary of Difficult Words is a handy dictionary to keep close by when reading, writing, or studying. Usage notes warn of easily confused words, and etymologies are given when they shed light on a word's meaning.".

"Portable, affordable, and thorough, The Oxford Dictionary of Difficult Words is the first choice for readers, students, and people who want to expand their working vocabularies."--BOOK JACKET.
