Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.com
While the text edition of this dictionary has collected kudos from numerous newspapers throughout its previous editions, many users may find that the CD-Rom replaces the book as a handy quick-reference instrument. The disk loads in a matter of minutes, and offers a linked thesaurus with the dictionary--you can choose one or both reference tools, and you can customize both with your particular notes. Kids who are told to "look it up" when they ask mom how to spell a word will love the Misspeller's Dictionary included on the disk, which can easily translate spellings like "wierd" and "anoy". Using the thesaurus while using the dictionary allows you to click easily between words, using the former to extend your vocabulary while checking the specific definitions in the latter to ensure precise usage.
The text edition has many special features that make it a useful complement to the disk, as well as a star in its own right. Several pages of simple colored maps show the placement of everything from Colorado to Cameroon. There are anatomical illustrations, historical photographs, and a 40-page reference supplement that covers everything from the rules of punctuation to the periodic table of elements. Word definitions are clear, and with 163,000 entries, chances are you'll find the word you're hunting for. Synonyms for many words are included in shaded areas near the original word (you'll find pious, religious, and sanctimonious alongside devout), which is a big help when you're searching for the perfect word. --Jill Lightner

Klappentext
The Most Useful College Dictionary You Can Own
Published at the turn of the new century, the Fourth Edition of Webster's New World College Dictionary represents the finest linguistic scholarship, years of dedicated effort, and an unswerving commitment to information that is clear and readable, precise, up-to-date, and reliable.
Through more than five decades of research, Webster's New World lexicographers have created a uniquely modern dictionary that serves as your trusted guide to contemporary usage. The rich history of our language is also traced through Americanism and the most detailed etymologies of any American English dictionary. The result is a dictionary that helps you understand and use the language as no other dictionary can.
The main text is supplemented with reference sections that provide a wealth of information not found in any other college-level dictionary, including a full-color atlas of the world, rules of punctuation, geographical tables, scientific and measurement charts, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States, and more. -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Gebundene Ausgabe .

I work best with hardback dictionaries at my work location. The cover finally fell off the old dictionary. I saw this one and it was cheep and available. I paid for it while the wrapper was still on.
Well I may have made a mistake. First this one has no index tabs. I looked up some well-used words such as "kine" and got just two word definition cow and cattle. The previous dictionary "Webster's II New revised University Dictionary", described even the word history and covered the changes in history. I show that the word came from Middle English as "ku". And that it persisted until the 17th century. This word is used in an Ayn Rand book and would not make sense if you only had the "New World College Dictionary" I also looked up acetylene and found a fair definition but it had room for the formula and did not display it.

The definitions are squeezed out to make room for pictures. On the next page is a portrait of Martin Luther King. There are all kinds of pretty pictures of people. If you are interested in people and not spelling or anything in-depth, then this dictionary for you
In the mean time I will suffer with this until I have time to find a real dictionary. However it may do for you.
Practical info:
Nearly 7,500 entries for today's world.
4 color world atlas and numerous tables and charts.
Thousands of Geographical and Biographical Entries.
Helpful notes, examples and Synonyms.
Includes unique Americanisms.

I'm a Korean, so, I do not use English in my daily life. However, I should study English for a professinal reason. Comparing with others, this dictionary has been a great help for me to understand subtle meaning of English(Foreign Languge) words, and to improve my English speaking, writing ability. Still I have many problem with my English I will always hold it in my hand, and study hard. Honor to Webster Dictionary!

great dictionary
Something is wrong with you if you don't like this dictionary. Buy the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) if you don't like the Webster's New World College Dictionary.

VERY nice!
This dictionary is the most helpful dictionary I've ever encountered. I use it so often it's getting rather worn. I've only found about 7 words that are not present in it. Lesen Sie weiter...

EXCELLENT REFERENCE!
I enjoyed the real down to earth definitions of many words. One fatal flaw I found with this dicitonary was that many common words were mispelled such as CAT and COMPUTER. Lesen Sie weiter...
