Different from the eighth edition is a "denesting" policy that reduces the number of phrases and idioms nested within definitions; many of these now constitute headwords rather than parts of other definitions (i.e., Bible bashing, Bible belt, and Bible oath are now headwords rather than definitions within the entry Bible). Also new are many terms (e.g., cyberspace, Internet, ecotourism, multiculturalism), updated pronunciations for many words, and more attention to North American words and phrases. As with the eighth edition, there are no geographic names, biographical names, or illustrations. Appendixes include countries of the world (with currency units); books of the Bible; Greek, Russian, and Roman alphabets; chemical elements; major divisions of geologic time; the Beaufort scale of wind speed; a biological classification scheme; a style guide; a chart of Indo-European languages; terms for groups; and an index to these supplements.
The ninth edition of The Concise Oxford Dictionary is different enough from the eighth to merit purchase. The Concise Oxford will not be a first stop for Americans, but its focus on international English, its currency, and its descriptive approach make it an excellent complement to major American-English desk dictionaries. Public and academic libraries should purchase.
