The Cassell concise English dictionary

Booknews

Probably the most up-to-date concise dictionary of (British) English, not only because its early revision (the first edition was published in 1989) permits the inclusion of vocabulary drawn from recent social, scientific, political, and cultural developments, but also because of its unique register containing definitions, with examples, of words not yet established in mainstream English. Some 160,000 definitions in all. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
