Description: A standard dictionary will tell you the meaning of a word, or a thesaurus will give you a list of synonyms, but only Descriptionary directs you straight to the word itself.
Descriptionary is particularly helpful when you are looking for a descriptive or technical term, or when you know the subject or meaning but not the word. This newly revised and updated edition provides indispensable glossaries, arranged by category and subcategory, that define and describe thousands of words.
Finally, here is a reference tool that follows your train of thought and helps you reach your destination. Descriptionary defines thousands of terms, organized thematically into more than 20 completely up-to-date subject categories, including
• Animals and Insects • Architecture
• Art • Clothing
• Electronics • Environment
• Human Body and Mind • Language
• Law • Magic and the Occult
• Medicine • Occupations
• Performing Arts • Religions
• Sports • Tools
• Weapons • And more
This third edition contains an expanded and updated section on technology, including computers and the Internet, as well as many new sections, such as Physics, Chemistry, and Astronomy.
