Reviews

Completely updated...entries are short and concise as might be expected from a dictionary. However, many entries also show how a term may be used in context- adding to the usefulness of the volume. Additionally some entries have been further developed with explanatory comments...if you are unsure of what is meant by Chinese walls, peppercorn rent, gnomes of Zurich, or bear hug, this volume will come in handy. It is also priced attractively for students. * Reference Reviews *
