This Revolutionary Pop-Up Interface In An Unrivalled Reference Resources For Students, Professionals, and Writers Of Every Kind

Product Information

From the world's most trusted dictionaries comes Oxford's brand new thesaurus, The New Oxford Thesaurus of English.

All thesauruses contain lists of words that are linked by having a similar meaning, but the New Oxford Thesaurus of English goes much further - it also contains antonyms (words with opposite meanings), related terms, noun lists, detailed studies of closely related synonyms, advice on confusable words, and other features.

With more than 600,000 alternative and opposite words, you won't have to crack your brains trying to figure out the perfect word to use in your research paper. With the revolutionary iFinger Pop-up interface, you have the easiest-ever access to this thesaurus. Simply move your cursor over a word on your Web page or your windows application and the entries are displayed in a pop-up window.

It is an unrivalled reference resource for students, professionals, and writers of every kind.

It certainly deserves the title of thesaurus, which comes from a Greek word meaning storehouse or treasure.
