A very good dictionary

This edition of the Scott Foresman dictionaries is a very good format. It gives very direct and understandable definitions that make learning the english language a joy. The format allows the student to understand the word in most cases without having to search through other definitions on a long word chain to understand the meaning and usage he or she is looking for. I recommend this dictionary to any student engaged in any form of comprehensive study where time is of the essence. Additionally it gives very concise and direct derivations that make comprehending the origin of the word a breeze. A great dictionary for the student as well as the home or office.
