"The words for this 'pocket' thesaurus were pulled from Oxford's English Corpus, a unique electronic database that makes it possible to see exactly how English is developing. It allows Oxford University Press to create up-to-date resources that reflect how the English langauge is evolving, making them the most accurate language tools available. This thesaurus is ideal for individual use but would also be useful in school media centers and small libraries needing a basic and current thesaurus."--Shannon Graff Hysell, American Reference Books Annual
