The Oxford-Duden Pictorial Japanese and English Dictionary Book

An essential reference for general readers, students, translators, travelers, and business people, The Oxford-Duden Pictorial Japanese & English Dictionary serves as a valuable supplement to English-Japanese and Japanese-English dictionaries. It provides parallel English and Japanese word-lists containing 28,000 items for each language. Based on the premise that pictures can more clearly convey certain kinds of information, the dictionary presents a list of vocabulary relating to a subject together with a picture--six of which are in color--illustrating that subject. Approximately 384 sections cover a broad range of subjects in the fields of science, medicine, technology, industry, commerce, and arts and leisure. Both English and Japanese vocabulary appear on the same page for easy use. The dictionary also provides fully alphabetized indexes in both languages which refer the reader not only to the various subjects and contexts in which a word is used, but also to the correct translation and vocabulary of an entire subject.Read More
