About this title

Synopsis

Continuing the tradition of accuracy and comprehensiveness that has made it a classic, this new edition of the Abbreviations Dictionary is the international source for locating elusive or general information on topics ranging from airlines to zodiacal signs. The updated and expanded tenth edition includes abbreviations, acronyms, appellations, contractions, numbered abbreviations, and other short forms gleaned from a broad range of fields, pastimes, groups, and government.

Review

...this volume is essential. Its worth is enhanced by a listing of nicknames and appellations that are otherwise likely to be incomprehensible to foreigners...an essential addition to public, academic, and corporate reference libraries.
-The San Diego Union
This book has it all...besides being informative, the book is interesting and fun.
-Veterinary and Human Toxicology
This is a useful book and should appeal to the individual or library acquisitions director with a limited budget.
-Verbatim

An up-to-date source for locating some of the most elusive segments of our language.
-Booknotes
[This] compilation of abbreviations, acronyms, eponyms, terms, etc., is an excellent source for information that is not found in other works.
-Booklist, a publication of the American Library Association
The classic status of this title endures: abbreviations are again joined by a dazzling array of acronyms, contractions, initials, nicknames, short forms, signs and symbols. Its 15,000 new terms swell the dictionary to nearly 300,000 entries...excellent and unique...
