The Oxford-Duden pictorial Italian and English dictionary

More about the book

There are certain kinds of information that can be conveyed more readily and clearly by pictures than by descriptions and explanations. The Oxford-Duden Pictorial Italian and English Dictionary identifies over 28,000 objects by means of numbered illustrations, offering at a glance their Italian and English terms. This completely new addition to the successful Oxford-Duden Pictorial range of dictionaries reflects the most up-to-date changes in technology, science and medicine, industry and commerce and offers comprehensive coverage of all major fields of reference, including the arts and entertainment, recreation and sport, flora and fauna and typical situations in domestic and everyday life. Every vocabulary item relating so such diverse fields as photography, typesetting, personal computers, telecommunications and transport is indexed in Italian 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 dictionary will be an invaluable supplement to any Italian-English or English-Italian dictionary.
