Merriam-Webster's Visual Dictionary: Second Edition

Not since Saussure have signifier and signified been so happily in cahoots.Adding to the 2006 edition "more than 2,000 new and updatedillustrations," the latest iteration of Merriam-Webster's VisualDictionary is a wonder to behold. Divided into 18 "themes " includingastronomy, clothing, society, earth, and animals this reference volume offerscrisp, clear illustrations for each of its entries (and component parts),enabling readers to envisage cutaways of detail-intensive things like jetengines, toilets, synagogues, and honeybees, as well as more abstract topics,such as painting techniques, museums, and musical notation. While spatiallimitations dictate the guide be less than exhaustive (furniture gets just ahandful of pages), Corbeil and company do a remarkable job in terms of breadthand editing, interweaving bar code readers and URLs, as well as a quick studyof roofs and a litany of coffee makers all without overwhelming readers orleaving them feeling cheated. Visual learners, curious kids, and those new toEnglish will likely get the most out of the book, but even the curmudgeonliestknow-it-all will be mesmerized by this engaging and informative work.
