Reviews

This terrific reference presents objects from the manmade and natural world, depicted in precise drawings in color, with their names indicated in English and French. Useful to the student, new resident, and professional, the dictionary offers a clearly organized guide to vocabulary, not only the main object, but all its parts, which are also clearly identified in each drawing. Encyclopedic in scope, objects covered range from the kingdoms of animals and plants to types of cheeses and other dairy products to architecture and modes of transportation.-- (06/01/2011)
