Review & Description

Merriam-Webster's Visual Dictionary incorporates more than 20000 words and their definitions into 6000 full-color definitions of a wide variety of objects from all aspects of life. Each clear and concise definition has been prepared in cooperation with Merriam-Webster lexicographers. The result is an indispensable visual reference that goes beyond object-identification to answer questions about function significance and purpose. Every page of this unique volume will both catch the eye and enrich the mind. Unlike conventional dictionaries with A-Z listings Merriam-Webster's Visual Dictionary is organized by subject area. Full-color pictorialimages are grouped into 17 chapters outlining subjects from astronomy to sports with more complex subjects divided into 94 individual themes.System Requirements:WINDOWS® Windows® 2000 or XP Pentium® II 400 MHz processor or better (Pentium® III 1.0 GHz recommended) 128 Mo of RAM Video card : 800 x 600 thousands of colors (16 bits) Direct X compatible Sound card : 16 bits Direct X compatible CD-ROM : 4x (8x recommended) QuickTime 6.x or more recent 80 Mo of space disk available MACINTOSH® Mac OS X v10.2.8 or more recent PPC 266 MHz processor or better (G4 533 MHz recommended) Video card : 800 x 600 thousands of colors CD-ROM : 4x (8x recommended) QuickTime 6.x or more recent 80 Mo of space disk available Format: WIN 2000XP/MAC 10.1 OR LATER Genre: REFERENCE / LIFESTYLE UPC: 798694892703 Manufacturer No: 92703
