It retains all marks that have made <em>Roget's International Thesaurus(R)</em> the most popular word reference book next to the dictionary.</strong></p><p>A classic reference book that has been used by millions all over the world, <em>Roget's International Thesaurus</em>(R) is the product of more than a century and a half of continual expansion, reorganization, and improvement. Today this book is not only the most time-tested and bestselling thesaurus ever, but it is also the most up-to-date and comprehensive reflection of the English language as it is currently used.</p><p>The revolutionary achievement of Dr. Peter Mark Roget's first edition in 1852 was the development of a brand-new principle: the arrangement of words and phrases according to their meanings. Dr. Roget's system brings together in one place all the terms associated with a single thought or concept; it allows a wide-ranging survey of language within a book of relatively modest size, without the space-consuming repetitions that so severely limit the scope of thesauruses arranged in a dictionary format with A-to-Z entries. This brilliant organization makes <em>Roget's International Thesaurus</em>(R) both the most efficient word finder and a cutting-edge aid in stimulating thought, organizing ideas, and writing and speaking more clearly and effectively.</p>
