Synopsis

CHAMBERS CONCISE DICTIONARY focuses on English as it is written and spoken today. It provides special coverage of current vocabulary and idioms, as well as technical terms from science, computing, business and sport. The colour layout gives it a clean and modern look, and entries have been carefully designed and constructed to be clear and self-explanatory. Definitions are in straightforward English with no confusing jargon.

While the focus is on modern English, the unique Chambers flavour is maintained through a selection of less-common words and a sprinkling of witty definitions.

CHAMBERS CONCISE DICTIONARY is ideal for anyone who needs an up-to-the-minute, practical and complete dictionary at home or in the office.

For those who can t get enough of words, we have included a Language Lovers Miscellany, which delves into all the richness of the English language with lists of phobias, proverbs, foreign words and phrases used in English, collective nouns, Greek, Hebrew and Arabic alphabets and much more.
