Overview
Spanish accounts for more than half of all foreign language courses taught in American schools.
The Firefly Spanish/English Visual Dictionary shows graphically what other dictionaries can only describe in words. This new edition features updated terms and illustrations for the very latest common usages of both English and Spanish.
Each keyword or phrase is connected to a detailed and annotated full-color illustration, making identification quick and accurate. Spanish terms are identified by gender, and there are two extensive indexes, one English and another in Spanish, that make it quick and easy to find a term in either language.
The book covers 600 subjects that are organized into 17 color-coded sections:
- Astronomy
- Earth
- Vegetable kingdom
- Animal kingdom
- Human being
- Food and kitchen
- House
- Do-it-yourself and gardening
- Clothing
- Personal adornment and articles
- Arts and architecture
- Communications and office automation
- Transport and machinery
- Energy
- Science
- Society
- Sports and games

Illustrated with precise drawings in color, this excellent reference presents an encyclopedia of objects from the manmade and natural world with their names presented in English and Spanish. The parts of the objects are clearly identified in each drawing; readers learn all the parts of anatomy, for example, of humans, insects, and animals; or all the parts of Greek temples, Egyptian pyramids, and high-speed trains. The material is clearly organized by category.Lovin' Life News -
28,000 bilingual terms and 3,600 colorful pictures fascinate and educate. Superb dictionary for learning Spanish words.San Francisco Chronicle
Breaks new ground to stunning effect... immense scope and depth. The beauty of this book is that you don't even need to know the word you are looking for... The computer generated artwork is detailed, luminous and photographic in its fidelity -- only better, because all of its parts are distinct and identifiable, whether in the human body, the plumbing system of a house or the core of an atom.Library Media Connection
A treasure-trove of information... vividly defines numerous terms... the illustrations in this dictionary are colorful, highly detailed, and often three-dimensional in appearance... an excellent reference source... Recommended.San Francisco Chronicle
If you often wish you had the Spanish terms for "caulking gun (pistola para calafateo)" and "compact disc rewritable recorder (grabador de disco compacto regrabable)," then this is the book for you. For the rest of us, it's just fun.Book Details
