Description

This is the book to use when looking for a descriptive or technical term or when you know the subject or meaning but not the specific word. It is a clever combination of a reverse dictionary and a thesaurus, with thousands of descriptions of terms organized into subject categories and sub-categories.What do you call the reference of choice for those maddening moments when you know what it is, but not what its called? A Descriptionary, of course! This handy book provides thousands of definitions organized thematically rather than alphabetically. A great reference for writers, students, teachers, crossword puzzle buffs, or any lover of language.
