The University of Chicago Spanish Dictionary: Spanish-English, English-Spanish - Tapa blanda

The "University of Chicago Spanish Dictionary" is the most popular dictionary of its kind. Its familiar name is known to millions of general readers, students, educators and travellers. Improved for greater ease of use, and brought completely up to date, the fifth edition of "University of Chicago Spanish Dictionary" is now more than ever the perfect resource for both language learners and experienced language users. With thousands of added entries, the Dictionary builds on the features that have made it the leader in its field for more than 50 years: authority, scope, clarity and conciseness. And with this edition, the Dictionary brilliantly captures the current core vocabularies of two rapidly changing - and increasingly connected - languages and cultures. Entirely bilingual, the fifth edition focuses on two contemporary international languages - America English and a basic, worldwide Spanish that draws from both Latin American and Iberian sources. Designed for a wide range of users, including travellers, business-people, students, teachers and professionals, the new Dictionary is the essential first resource for speakers of both languages - from beginners to those at all other stages. Up to date, just comprehensive enough, and extraordinarily clear and easy to use, the new edition of "University of Chicago Spanish Dictionary" stands alone. No other dictionary offers so many users so much help - or so much value.

David Pharies, professor of Spanish at the University of Florida, is a widely known expert on the history and development of the Spanish language. He has written on many aspects of Spanish philology and linguistics.
