This edition illustrates terminology in all major fields of reference, including science, technology, medicine, and business, the arts and entertainment, recreation and sport, flora and fauna, and typical situations in domestic and everyday life. Every vocabulary item is indexed in French and English so that the dictionary can be used in both directions. The subjects are organized thematically enabling the user to grasp the entire vocabulary relevant to a given situation or context. This new edition will be an invaluable supplement to any French-English or English-French dictionary.
