Synopsis

The Firefly Mini Spanish/English Visual Dictionary includes 20,000 terms and 3,600 handsome computer-generated illustrations. Like the large-format dictionary on which it is based, this abridged version show graphically what other dictionaries can only describe in words.

Each keyword or phrase is connected to a detailed, annotated illustration, making identification quick and accurate. The Spanish term is also identified by gender. There are two extensive indexes, English and Spanish -- so it's simple and fast to find a term in either language.

600 subjects are organized into 17 color-coded sections that cover:

  • Astronomy
  • Earth
  • Vegetable kingdom
  • Animal kingdom
  • Human being
  • Food and kitchen
  • House
  • Do-it-yourself and gardening
  • Clothing
  • Personal adornment and articles
  • Arts and architecture
  • Communications and office automation
  • Transport and machinery
  • Energy
  • Science
  • Society
  • Sports and games
