Merriam-Webster Visual Dictionary

Merriam-Webster's Visual Dictionary incorporates more than 20,000 words and their definitions into 6,000 full-color definitions of a wide variety of objects from all aspects of life. Each clear and concise definition has been prepared in cooperation with Merriam-Webster lexicographers. The result is an indispensable visual reference that goes beyond object-identification to answer questions about function, significance, and purpose. Every page of this unique volume will both catch the eye and enrich the mind.

Unlike conventional dictionaries with A-Z listings, Merriam-Webster's Visual Dictionary is organized by subject area. Full-color pictorialimages are grouped into 17 chapters outlining subjects from astronomy to sports, with more complex subjects divided into 94 individual themes.
