A picture is worth a thousand words and certain kinds of information can be conveyed better visually than by written definitions. The Oxford-Duden Pictorial dictionaries are valued for their unique presentation of an extensive range of vocabulary items, from the familiar to the highly specialised.

This new edition incorporates over 1500 new items of vocabulary, particularly relating to the areas of computing, audio and video, and telecommunications technology.

The dictionary provides over 28.000 entries, cross-referencing clear illustrations with text and dealing with a vast range of topics such as:
the otom, the Universe, and the Earth, office, bank, and stock exchange,
man and his social environment, community, recreation, games, and sport
Nature as environment, agriculture, and forestry, Entertainment, culture, and art, trades, crafts, and industry, printing industry, animals and plants,
transport, communications, and information technology

This book is an invaluable supplement to any dictionary of English.
