Synopsis
Chambers Concise Dictionary focuses primarily on English as it is written and spoken today. It provides special coverage of current vocabulary and idioms, and includes many technical terms from science, computing, business and sport. Its colour layout gives it a clean and modern look, and entries have been set out to be clear and self-explanatory. Definitions are in straightforward English, and assume no specialist knowledge on the part of the user. It is ideal for anyone who needs a modern, functional, but comprehensive dictionary at home or in the office.
