Pocket Visual Dictionary

简介
Introduction
THE VISUAL DICTIONARY is a completely new kind of reference book. It provides a link between pictures and words in a way that no ordinary dictionary ever has. Most dictionaries simply tell you what a word means, but the VISUAL DICTIONARY shows you - through a combination of detailed annotations, explicit photographs, and illustrations. In the VISUAL DICTIONARY, pictures define the annotations around them. You do not read definitions of the annotated words, you see them. The highly accessible format of VISUAL DICTIONARY, the thoroughness of its annotations, and the range of its subject matter make it a unique and helpful reference tool.
THIS INDISPENSABLE POCKET FACT-FINDER PROVIDES AN ULTRA-QUICK UNDERSTANDING OF EVEN THE MOST COMPLEX SUBJECTS.
- Thousands of terms, with more than 5,000 fully-annotated photographs and illustrations
- Detailed cutaways and exploded views that bring even the most specialist subjects to life
- Clear, structured layout and meticulous annotations that show you everything you need to know about each topic
