About the Author
The Editors of the American Heritage Dictionaries and of other reference titles published by Houghton Mifflin Company are trained lexicographers with a varied array of interests and expertise. Most of the editors hold graduate degrees and have studied at least one foreign language. Several have degrees in linguistics or in the history of the English language. Others have degrees in science or sometimes other disciplines. All the editors familiarize themselves with the vocabulary in specific subject areas, collect materials on new developments and usage, and work in association with consultants to ensure that the content of our publications is as accurate and as up-to-date as possible.
From Booklist
This is the second update of the fourth edition of this college dictionary first published in 2002. It and the previous editions are based on the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (AHDEL) (4th ed., 2000). Publicity material promises 100 new entries with two on one page—WiFi and wiki. Perhaps the real impetus for individual purchase of this dictionary is that it offers a free download of the AHDEL and Roget’s II: The New Thesaurus, a $34.95 value, which then will appear as a handy icon on Word documents. Also recommended for all libraries that need a new desk dictionary in print format. --Christine Bulson
