But this 1958 paperback has sat on my shelf unused for decades, a hapless victim of technology -- and in that time, its print has shrunken to microscopic proportions. This would be a collector's item to someone who collected such things. Parting is sweet sorrow, but I guess the time has come. This review is my parting note of appreciation. Now yellowed and dog-eared, it's still my favorite thesaurus. Words are in dictionary order and many entries have a quarter-page or more of synonyms, related terms, and parts of speech that are conceptually similar. "Lawsuit", for example, leads you to other legal terms and cross-references (cause, legality, plea, etc.); "judge" and other people in the justice system; "court" and other legal entities; verbs (sue, litigate, accuse....); and adjectives (litigious, judicial, legal....). geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Since its first publication in 1958, The New American Roget's College Thesaurus has reached more than fifteen million copies in print. Now, as The Penguin Roget's College Thesaurus in Dictionary Form, it has been totally revised, reset, and modernized in both form and content -- for the first time ever. Its more than 1,500 new entries will keep users thoroughly up to date with today's expanding language, current colloquialisms, and slang expressions. It contains many more listings under a variety of entries, a listing of antonyms throughout, and the addition of categorized quotations. This larger format edition -- with an improved cross-referencing system and an increased quantity of double-column material -- is easier to use than ever before and remains the essential resource for students and writers of every stripe.
