Synopsis:

Rather than forcing readers to flip between the thesaurus for synonyms and the dictionary for definitions, the Oxford Pocket Dictionary and Thesaurus provides a thoroughly integrated blend of entries from the dictionary and the thesaurus in a single, compact volume. This unified approach treats meanings and related words within the same entry, making it easy to find an abundance of information about any word, and providing a far more extensive analysis of the variety and nuances of our language than is possible in a dictionary or thesaurus alone. Founded on Oxford's renowned English language database, this is guaranteed to be the most frequently used reference work you own.

Recently, he was Managing Editor for The Oxford Desk Dictionary, American Edition and The Oxford Dictionary and Thesaurus, and served as special consultant for U.S. usage on The Concise Oxford Dictionary, Ninth Edition.
