Product Description
Now available in paperback editions, The Oxford-Duden Pictorial Dictionaries provide parallel English and foreign word lists containing 29,000 items for each language.Based on the premise that pictures can more clearly convey certain kinds of information, these dictionaries present a list of vocabulary relating to a subject together with a picture illustrating that subject.

Each double-page spread links the words by number to the picture situation drawn from everyday life; 384 sections cover a broad range of subjects in the fields of science, medicine, technology, industry, commerce, and arts and leisure, including astronomy, automobiles, swimming, supermarkets, nuclear energy, nightclubs, and much more. Both English and foreign words appear on the same page for easy use. The dictionaries also provide fully alphabetized indices in both languages which refer the reader not only to the various subjects and contexts in which a word is used, but also to the correct translation and vocabulary of the entire subject.

An essential reference for general readers, students, translators, travelers, and business people, The Oxford-Duden Pictorial Dictionaries serves as an invaluable supplement to other foreign language guides.

The new editions featured below have been completely updated and revised to include the most recent innovations in science and technology and to offer increased coverage of all major fields of reference.Amazon.com Review
The second edition of this pictorial dictionary, with more than 1,500 new items, follows in the tradition of previously published Oxford-Duden dictionaries with its comprehensive range of areas represented. Here a reader will find the easily recognized--the basic translation and drawing of a bicycle, la bicicleta--to the more specialized: the hula girl at a masked ball, la hawaiana. Each word or phrase is given first in precise Spanish, with the corresponding English in italics directly below, a system which gives non-Spanish speakers an easy entry into a new language. The book more deeply details other, more complex aspects of the language to provide easy access to more demanding new words for those who are partially bilingual--including the correct ways to pronounce complex and intricate phrasings. While the corresponding illustrations for the more than 28,000 objects represented here are basic in design, they are all clearly labeled and presented, providing the reader with the visual connection so necessary for learning a foreign language and culture. ...

Big hassle with USPS (shipping/ delivery).
Sender's self-metering was $0.39 short, and USPS would not deliver unless difference was paid. I told USPS we didn't keep cash/change, but he threatened to return the item. We went back and forth for about 10 to 15 minutes, and I started putting on my shoes to see if there was change in the car, when my wife had found $0.40. Then USPS refused to provide the penny change because they don't carry cash/change. I insisted on the change because of the huge hassle I was given, but USPS walked away and said a check would be sent me within a few days. For a penny? Fat chance! Also, although item was in very good condition, it had been advertised as new.

Warning: Not for children/inappropriate content
This may be a great dictionary, but be warned that there are several explicit pictures in it.Male and female genitalia is included, along with an image of a "nightclub" that has a topless stripper wearing a g-string, pole dancing with drunk patrons watching ("el striptease"), and a "discotheque" that has similarly clad people.I bought this for my eight year-old and suffice it to say, it's not appropriate.

Product Description
With the increasing commercial, cultural, athletic and tourist interaction between the United States and Chinese-speaking Asia, this glossary serves the need for an easy explanation of legal terms and procedures with an accurate and authoritative translation for anyone involved in the U.S. legal process. A pocket dictionary of terms pertaining to basic general American law and criminal law, it is equally useful for Chinese speakers and English speakers. Chinese speakers will find it a welcome reference for understanding the American judicial system. ItÂ’s also essential for non-Chinese speakers working in the American legal system or in law enforcement; in these contexts, no knowledge of Chinese is required to use it as a verbal communication aid, since the user can point to the Chinese equivalent of the relevant English term. Includes both simplified and traditional characters. ... Read more

Not worth the paper it is printed on
Read the fine prints (read very carefully the description provided by the authors of the book)

This dictionary is in fact only a French to English dictionary. It does have an English-French glossary at the end of the book, approximately 157 pages, but for all practical purposes it is so limited that it is nearly totally useless.

The quality of the printing is poor to fair; at first I thought the book I received was a pirated copy.

In my opinion, this dictionary is a total waste of time and money. You are better off using Google and the Internet, you'll get better results, in less time, and for free. ... Read more

NOT SPANISH TO ENGLISH!!!!
Amazon's description is wrong. This is only English into Spanish. If you look closely at the image you'll see it's only in one direction too. Ans as a result, since I'm a native speaker of English, I can't vouch for how good a dictionary/glossary it is. ... Read more
