Más información sobre el libro

A classic reference book used by millions globally, this thesaurus has undergone over a century and a half of expansion and improvement. It stands as the most time-tested and bestselling thesaurus, now newly revised to reflect the contemporary English language. The groundbreaking achievement of Dr. Peter Mark Roget in 1852 was the innovative arrangement of words and phrases by their meanings. This system consolidates terms associated with a single thought or concept, allowing for a comprehensive survey of language in a compact format, avoiding the limitations of traditional A-to-Z dictionaries. This organization makes it both an efficient word finder and a valuable tool for stimulating thought, organizing ideas, and enhancing clarity in writing and speaking. The updated seventh edition includes thousands of new words and phrases, capturing the latest slang and expressions that enrich everyday language. Despite these additions, it retains the essential qualities that have made it the most popular word reference book after the dictionary.
