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 the VISUAL DICTIONARY, the
thoroughness of its annotations, and
the range of its subject matter make
it a unique and helpful reference tool.
