n nA newly revised and updated 8th edition of the worlds bestselling thesaurus--the only thesaurus based on Peter Rogets original reference classic of 1852. This hardcover thumb-indexed edition includes more than 443,000 words and phrases grouped into 1,075 categories.n nThe revolutionary achievement of Dr. Roget was his development of a new principle: the grouping of words according to ideas. If the user cannot find something in a reference book, it is often because of the restriction of searching alphabetically by known headwords. Dr. Rogets thesaurus thus reversed the access to allow the user to find a word from another word, a concept or an idea. When in 1852 Roget published the first book ever to realize this concept with thoroughness and precision, he called it a thesaurus (from the Greek and Latin, meaning treasury or storehouse). And thesaurus it has remained to this day. n nThe ultimate reference tool, this new edition contains over 443,000 words and phrases grouped into 1,075 numbered categories. Within each category youll find all the parts of speech, frequent cross-references, commonly-used words singled out in boldface, quotes that puts words into context, hundreds of fascinating and idiosyncratic word lists and much more. If youre a writer who needs help organizing a thought or mastering the nuance of expression, Rogets International Thesaurus(R) remains the first source to turn to.n
