About the Book

THE CHAMBERS THESAURUS, 4TH EDITION is a veritable treasure-trove, with the greatest selection of alternative words and phrases available in an A to Z format. Modern vocabulary sits alongside archaic, and technical terms, formal language and slang are all covered. Boxed entries discussing tone and nuance help you to select the perfect synonym, and related quotations and proverbs throughout the text show the words in action. 'Types of' panels give helpful suggestions for words it is difficult to find alternatives for so beside the synonyms for 'flower' you will also find a list of common flowers. As a bonus for creative writers and wordgame fans, a special supplement, the Word Lovers' Miscellany, brings together themed lists, literary devices and much more.

About the Author :
Chambers is one of the world's most respected dictionary publishers, appealing particularly to word lovers and those who revel in all the quirks of the English language. Its extensive list of innovative language and reference titles includes the renowned Brewer's list of endlessly browsable dictionaries of phrase and fable, and covers English-language dictionaries and thesauruses for every level of user from school to crossword fan, from English learner to student of slang. Meticulously researched and expertly written, the highly acclaimed Chambers range has been at the forefront of presenting knowledge and learning in an engaging and accessible way since it was first established in the 19th century.

Every time a new edition of a dictionary or thesaurus is brought out, there's a whole collection of new words and phrases that reflect contemporary life. The latest Chambers Thesaurus contains what they call a 'Word Lover's Gallimaufry', a reassuringly old-fashioned title for a hotchpotch (the literal meaning of gallimaufry) of the cutting-edge vernacular of today. - The Independent 'Ever been on a date with a gastrosexual who has sho
