About the Book

The Firefly Visual Dictionary is an unparalleled reference to the world around us. With more than 6,000 color illustrations -- each one labeled in detail -- The Firefly Visual Dictionary shows what other dictionaries can only describe; from the parts of a honeybee to the parts of a bulldozer. Its scope and depth is immense. Everyone will find sections that will catch their eye whether they need to quickly research an assignment, track down a contested fact or simply browse through the drawings. Each key word and phrase is connected to the detailed illustrations, all are organized into a series of sections and are fully indexed. Subjects include: Astronomy Earth Vegetable Kingdom Animal Kingdom Food and Kitchen Human Being House Clothing Society Transport and Handling Energy Arts and Architecture Science Sports and Games Do-it-Yourself and Gardening Personal Adornment and Articles Communications and Office Automation

About the Author :
Jean-Claude Corbeil is an expert in linguistic planning, with a world-wide reputation in the fields of comparative terminology and socio-linguistics. He serves as a consultant to various international organizations and governments. Ariane Archambault, a specialist in applied linguistics, has devoted several years to the teaching of foreign languages. It was therefore natural for her to become a terminologist and author of dictionaries.
