Kurzbeschreibung

21. Juli 1998 Random House Newer Words Faster
The revolutionary, all-in-one dictionary/thesaurus/almanac.

Glazier's critically acclaimed Random House Webster's Word Menu is the definitive language reference for anyone who reads, writes creatively or simply loves to explore linguistic relationships.

This rich storehouse of language organizes the vocabulary of English by subject matter, reflecting the way we actually look at the world around us. A totally new kind of language resource, Random House Webster's Word Menu combines the virtues of an entire shelf of reference works:

Full dictionary, thesaurus and almanac
Reverse dictionary: when you can't think of the obscure word you're looking for, find it by looking up the common word you already know
Multiple glossaries: find just the right terms for foods and finery, weather and weapons, romance and relativity

Pressestimmen

"Stephen Glazier. . . was a modern Roget."
--William Safire, The New York Times

Der Verlag über das Buch

The revolutionary all-in-one reference: now in paperback!
"Destined to take its place beside the dictionary and the thesaurus as a classic..." -- L.A. Weekly

The critically acclaimed Random House Word Menu is the ultimate language reference: a reverse dictionary, thesaurus, almanac, and compendious glossary, all in one. Only the Word Menu organizes language the subject matter, the way we understand and use it, and from the general to the specific, so it's easy to use.

For example: you're can't come up with the right word for the part of the wall you're about to paint. A regular dictionary won't help; your thesaurus isn't specialized enough. Look in the Word Menu, first under "The Home," then under "Interior Structure," and then under "Structural and Decorative Element." There it is: dado, the lower part of wall separated from upper part by rail, moulding, or border.

"Stephen Glazier...was a modern Roget." -- William Safire, The New York Times

"An essential reference work for all writers." -- Word Trade

5.0 von 5 Sternen Indespensible 13. Juli 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
Has anyone heard of Eschatology? I hadn't until my writing instructor used that word in a letter he sent to me. Baffled, I looked it up in the Webster's Dictionary, but didn't find it. I checked with The Synonym Finder, but it wasn't listed there either. Finally, I turned to this book and found it in the table of contents. Eschatology is the study of afterlife.This book has been a godsend for me as a creative writer. There were times when I was writing a scene and couldn't think of a word to describe something or a term I couldn't remember. Most of the time, I found what I was looking for in these pages.Word Menu is broken down into four parts. Part One deals with Nature­­The human body, living things, and the earth. Chapter One (The Human Body) is then divided into five subcategories­­Anatomy, Medical Problems, Health/Fitness/Enhancement, Hair and Grooming, Phsyical Appearance. Under these, you will find hundreds of definitions, terms, and cross-references.This dictionary covers everything from everyday items, customs, religions, etc. to the obscure and strange. For example, Eschatology. Word Menu is an indespensible tool for any type of writer, student, or anyone who wants to learn something.

4.0 von 5 Sternen When you're looking for that one perfect word... 16. Juni 1999
Von Ein Kunde
Format:Taschenbuch
As a writer, there are times you have a picture of a thing in your head: you know what it does...you can feel it...you can touch it...and you can taste it, but no matter how clearly you see it in your mind's eye, you still have no clue as to what that thing is. This is when Word Menu becomes indespensible. Even if that situation occurs only once a year, the time saved is well worth the cost. My only criticism -- I wish it was longer.

5.0 von 5 Sternen This is an invaluable tool for translators. 14. Juni 1999
Von renkat
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I translate literary texts and rely on a shelf of reference books to get them right. The Random House Word Menu and my unabridged dictionary are by far the most tattered in the lot. Not only can this ignorant city slicker find the word for "a wooded valley" by looking in the Menu under Landscapes: Hills, Hollows, and Valleys to find "Dell",and "Dingle", but when I need to find out the name of "that thick rope they throw out to pull the boat to dock", I look up Transportation: Ships and Boats: Parts of Ships, Sails, and Equipment to find "hawser". This book makes my work easier and my translations better--the only problem is that I sometimes get sidetracked reading about coamings, gimbles, moonrakers, taffrails. . .

5.0 von 5 Sternen A must for a translator's library 14. Dezember 1998
Von Ein Kunde
Format:Taschenbuch
This is a great source for any translator or interpreter. Here you'll find lots of terms on any subject, carefully categorized. The sections go from very general to quite specific or technical. Even if you don't find exactly what you're looking for, there probably is a section that will serve as starting point for your search. Also this is a great tool to enrich your vocabulary.
