Featured Book: The New Oxford American Dictionary

The New Oxford American Dictionary (NOAD) is a heavyweight publication-- both figuratively and literally. The editors have taken to heart the counsel. "to boldly go...". This is the first dictionary (that I know of) to define words in a truly contemporary sense. Rather than rehashing traditional definitions and excluding words not considered legitimate by academics and purists, NOAD defines words as people use them in everyday speech. It also includes hundreds of new words and acronyms which have come into the language in the last several years. Compare Prices | Read a review
