Today  this book is not only the most time-tested and bestselling thesaurus ever  but  newly revised  it is also the most up-to-dateand comprehensive reflection of theEnglish language as it is currently used. The revolutionary achievement of Dr. Peter Mark Rogets first edition in 1852 was the development of a brand-new principle: the arrangement of words and phrases according to their meanings. Dr. Rogets system brings together in one place all the terms associated with a single thought or concept; it allows a wide-ranging survey of language within a book of relatively modest size  without the space-consuming repetitions that so severely limit the scope of thesauruses arranged in a dictionary format with A-to-Z entries. This brilliant organization makes Rogets International Thesaurus both the most efficient word finder and a cutting-edge aid in stimulating thought  organizing ideas  and writing and speaking more clearly and effectively. This revised and updated sixth edition features thousands of new words and phrases  including the newest slang words and expressions that color and inform everyday language. At the same time  it retains all of the hallmarks that have made Rogets international Thesaurus an enduring classic: More than 330 000 words and phrases organized into 1 075 categories. A pinpoint reference system that directs the user quickly from a comprehensive index to the numbered category of the right word. Thousands of cross-references throughout lead to other helpful categories. Hundreds of supplemental word lists that supply the names of things which have no synonyms (measurements  wines  weapons  animals  state mottoes  and more) as well as hundreds of quotations that amplify the meanings of selected words. Generations of students  writers  editors  and speakers have made Rogets the most popular word reference book next to the dictionary. Continuing a legacy that dates back more than 150 years  Rogets International Thesaurus is an indispensable work for everyone who wants to use the English language with clarity and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45275911290933,"sku":"ByrdShop_0004331761","price":64.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780004331768.jpg?v=1780517989","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/rogets-international-thesaurus-9780004331768","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
