Dictionaries are didactic books used as consultation instruments for self-teaching. They are composed by an ordered set of linguistic units which reflects a double structure, the macrostructure which correspond to the word list and the microstructure that refers to the contents of each lemma. The great value of dictionaries nests in the fact that they establish a standard nomenclature and prevent in that way the appearance of new useless synonyms.
Includes over 4,000 entries covering the subject from absolute zero to the zeeman effect. As well as highlighted entries on key topies, this dictionary will feature: / an extensive range of physics data tables -- electrical conductivity, refractive index, standard physics formulae, and much more, so as to make the book both dictionary and data book. / references to a wide selection of useful physics websites -- for example webelment.com for the latest updates on whether ununoctium really is element 118 or not ! There are over 60,000 A-level students and 5,000 degree students (plus many more in subjects such as electronics or where standard physics knowledge is required).
Webster's Dictionary of English Usage is a work of unparalleled authority and scholarship from Merriam-Webster, America's leading dictionary publisher for almost 150 years. Our editors have long been documenting the use of those words that pose special problems of confused or disputed usage.
