Review :
This massive reference contains 6,000 color illustrations, labeled with 35,000 terms in each of five languages: English, French, German, Italian and Spanish. Updated to include the newest and most relevant subjects, each entry features the most up-to-date images and terminology. Each key word and phrase is connected to an illustration, making identification and translation quick and accurate. In many cases, terminology is provided not only for the central image, but for its component parts, whether the various types of pockets on a vest, the decorative and practical bits of different kinds of furniture, or all the parts of a photocopier. Figures from the animal kingdom and natural world are also broken down... or details about climate change and other phenomena depicted and defined. Seventeen fully indexed sections cover a huge range of terms describing almost anything you can think of in the natural or human world. This visually stunning book is an essential addition to any reference collection.-- (08/01/2010) "If you missed the first edition of this useful and affordable one-volume language tool, which LJ selected as one of the Best Reference Sources for 2004, here's your chance to own a brand new second edition. With over 35,000 entries and 6000 full-color images, the one-volume dictionary provides visual and verbal descriptions of the objects of modern life (e.g., bar stool, MP3 player) in English, Spanish, French, German, and Italian. Although not the only such dictionary on the market-DK's The Five Language Dictionary also comes to mind-it is easily the most comprehensive, not to mention the most visually appealing.-- (12/07/2009) (starred review) With over 6000 images and 35,000 entries, this multilingual resource provides visual and verbal descriptions.--Lucy Roehrig"Library Journal" (06/01/2010)
