There are certain kinds of information that can be conveyed more readily and clearly by pictures than by descriptions and explanations. The Oxford-Duden Pictorial Spanish and English Dictionary identifies over 29,000 objects by means of numbered illustrations, offering at a glance their Spanish and English terms. This edition illuminates terminology in all major fields of reference including science, technology, medicine, and business, the arts and entertainment, recreation and sport, flora and fauna, and typical situations in domestic and everyday life. Every vocabulary item is indexed in Spanish and English so that the dictionary can be used in both directions. The subjects are organized thematically enabling the user to grasp the entire vocabulary relevant to a given situation or context. This new edition will be an invaluable supplement to any Spanish-English or English-Spanish dictionary.

Very comprehensive!

The Oxford-Duden Pictorial Spanish and English Dictionary is a must for any person who conducts business and personal events in both English and Spanish. As a manger in construction, I have found the listings for heavy, commercial and residental construction VERY helpful. Due to the detailed drawings, it is extremely easy to find not only the name of a specific item, but also the components of that item. It has even helped me find the correct word for objects in my native language!
I would be willing to pay more for the same book with a sturdier cover and binding. This book is going to get a lot of use! In addition to my book on 501 Spanish Verbs, I consider this pictorial dictionary worth it's weight in gold.

Exceptional wide coverage and translation of technical terms

I found this book to be an excellent resource to help me understand and explain many different
technical terms used in engineering, construction, trades, crafts, art, and agricultural.
The numerous number illustrations have helped me explain these technical terms to nontechnical persons.
I have had difficulty keeping this book in my hands. Everytime, I get a copy, one of my friends
will buy it off of me before I get a chance to mark in it! I higly recommend this dictionary
to anyone who needs a good dictionary of technical terms.

Superb reference

A great noun builder for intermediate to advanced students of Spanish (or Spanish-speaking students of English), this book will help you attain a degree of precision in your vocabulary that would be difficult to achieve any other way without a substantial investment of time. The dictionary is arranged by subject areas varying from the highly technical (e.g. precision instrument parts) to the everyday (e.g. tableware). About one-fourth of the volume is taken up by the index which is eminently helpful if you want to quickly find the translation of a particular word without having to wade through the many subject areas. The book identifies occasional word differences between Castillian Spanish and other idioms (e.g. Mexican Spanish) as well as between British and American English. Well-suited for browsing (a rare quality for a dictionary) and very different from most other language learning resources, consider this book a must-have for the serious language student or professional working abroad.
