The Concise Oxford Thesaurus is a reference for all kinds of writing, and an ideal companion to the Concise Oxford Dictionary. In addition to 350,000 carefully chosen synonyms and antonyms, it provides thematic coverage of a wide range of vocabulary, including proper names. Clear sense divisions and example phrases give you confidence that you are choosing the right word for the context you need. The thesaurus is presented in an A-Z format, and features over 400 tables listing people, places and things: from famous actors to types of aircraft, the seven wonders of the world to the signs of the zodiac. This book is intended for general use: for home, office, study, and for word games.
