It's a great achievement in American lexicography, providing a generous, comperehensive, and suprisingly durable listing of current American language. The familiarly readable clear type and single alphabetical listing that includes biographical, geographical, proper name, and abbreviation entries accompanies a sober and solidly thorough listing of virtually every word you would want to know in American English. It includes newer contributions from science, technology, slang, and does a brilliant job in giving exciting, yet accurate entymologies and definitions with all their shades of meaning.

The New Explorer series of publications from Federal Street Press, a division of Merriam-Webster, continues with a reference to writers; literary works; and groups, movements, and influential periodicals that have shaped American literary history from colonial times to the present. Each of the three categories is covered in its own section. Pronunciation guides are provided for names that are not obvious to English speakers. There are no bibliographic references.
