Synopsis

The Firefly Mini Spanish/English Visual Dictionary includes 20,000 terms and 3,600 handsome computer-generated illustrations. Like the large-format dictionary on which it is based, this abridged version show graphically what other dictionaries can only describe in words.

Each keyword or phrase is connected to a detailed, annotated illustration, making identification quick and accurate. The Spanish term is also identified by gender. There are two extensive indexes, English and Spanish -- so it's simple and fast to find a term in either language.

• Astronomy
• Earth
• Vegetable kingdom
• Animal kingdom
• Human being
• Food and kitchen
• House
• Do-it-yourself and gardening
• Clothing
• Personal adornment and articles
• Arts and architecture
• Communications and office automation
• Transport and machinery
• Energy
• Science
• Society
• Sports and games
