Agency of the Department of Defense. Joint Chiefs of Staff, "Department of Defense Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms"
PDF l 756 Pages l 2 MB


Book Description :

The Department of Defense Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms is a compendium of terminology used by the United States Department of Defense (DOD).

It sets forth standard US military and associated terminology to encompass the joint activity of the Armed Forces of the United States in both US joint and allied joint operations, as well as to encompass the Department of Defense (DOD) as a whole. These military and associated terms, together with their definitions, constitute approved DOD terminology for general use by all components of the Department of Defense. The Secretary of Defense, by DOD Directive 5025.12, 23 August 1989, Standardization of Military and Associated Terminology, has directed its use throughout the Department of Defense to ensure standardization of military and associated terminology.

This publication supplements standard English-language dictionaries with standard terminology for military and associated use. However, it is not the intent of this publication to restrict the authority of the joint force commander (JFC) from organizing the force and executing the mission in a manner the JFC deems most appropriate to ensure unity of effort in the accomplishment of the overall mission.

Daniel Yadin, "International Dictionary of Marketing"
Kogan Page l PDF l 449 Pages l 1 MB


Book Description :

You will find this Dictionary very practical, with text designed as a guide on a dayto- day level. It can help you in two ways. First, it uses language that people actually speak, and helps to make clearer much of the jargon used in marketing. Two examples: you read in a marketing magazine about FMCG; but the author, assuming that everybody knows what this means, fails to explain it. The Dictionary comes to your aid. In a marketing textbook, you come across a term that the author uses and discusses, but which you still cannot fully appreciate. The Dictionary may help to resolve this.

Second, on an even more pragmatic level, it explains marketing practices and procedures. You may, for example, be interested in how the monitoring of Web site hits is carried out. The Dictionary comes to the rescue by explaining ABC// electronic monitoring. Or, you may be undecided whether to use litho or flexography for a catalogue or brochure. The Dictionary helps you to make up your mind, and to understand what your printer is saying.

Alexander Senning, "Elsevier's Dictionary of Chemoetymology"
Elsevier Science l PDF l 443 Pages l 2 MB


Book Description :

Noting a marked lack of comprehensiveness and/or contemporaneity among typical reference works on chemical etymology, as well as a somewhat spotty coverage of chemical terms and their etymology in comprehensive dictionaries and textbooks the author decided to write an up-to-date desk reference on chemical etymology which would satisfy the needs of casual readers as well as those of more demanding users of etymological lore. Characteristic user-friendly features of the present work include avoidance of cumbersome abbreviations, avoidance of entries in foreign alphabets, and a broad coverage of all chemical disciplines including mineralogy. Biological, medical, geological, physical and mathematical terms are only considered where they appear of interest to mainstream chemists.

This book does not provide definitions of terms (unless required in the etymological context) nor guidance as to the timeliness of different nomenclature systems. The typical user will from the outset be well aware of the exact meaning of the terms he or she focuses on and only require the etymological background to be used. Examples of sources which have been drawn upon in the preparation of this book, apart from the extremely useful Internet resource Google, are listed, but an exhausting enumeration would be tiresome and impractical..

Title - Dictionary of Distances

Michel-Marie Deza & Elena Deza, "Dictionary of Distances"
Elsevier Science l PDF l 388 Pages l 12 MB


Book Description :

The book will provide powerful resource for all researchers using Mathematics as well as for mathematicians themselves. In the time when over-specialization and terminology fences isolate researchers, this Dictionary try to be "centripedal" and "oikoumeni", providing some access and altitude of vision but without taking the route of scientific vulgarisation. This attempted balance is the main philosophy of this Dictionary which defined its structure and style.

Key features:

* Unicity: it is the first book treating the basic notion of Distance in whole generality.
* Interdisciplinarity: this Dictionary is larger in scope than majority of thematic dictionaries.
* Encyclopedicity: while an Encyclopedia of Distances seems now too difficult to produce, this book (by its scope, short introductions and organization) provides the main material for it and for future tutorials on some parts of this material.
* Applicability: the distances, as well as distance-related notions and paradigms, are provided in ready-to-use fashion.
* Worthiness: the need and urgency for such dictionary was great in several huge areas, esp. Information Retrieval, Image Analysis, Speech Recognition and Biology.
* Accessibility: the definitions are easy to locate by subject or, in Index, by alphabetic order; the introductions and definitions are reader-friendly and maximally independent one from another; still the text is structured, in the 3D HTML style, by hyperlink-like boldfaced references to similar definitions.

Vladimir Kotlyakov, Anna Komarova, "Elsevier's Dictionary of Geography"
North Holland l PDF l 1073 Pages l 28 MB


Book Description :

The Dictionary combines two functions: that of a defining dictionary and that of a bilingual dictionary. These two functions are basically contradictory because usually thedefining dictionary is aimed at giving one meaning of the word which is the main and essential one, while the bilingual dictionary tries to give different equivalents of a given word in the other language in order to supply the user with maximum possible translations, differing in the shades of meanings, thus giving him the possibility to choose the appropriate word. But in our Dictionary we intentionally decided to combine the two functions - defining and multilingual, because a short definition of the term and equivalents in other languages help to achieve our main aim which consists in showing the basic geographical terminology and harmonizing it in several languages. Having this into consideration we deliberately mixed two types of dictionaries in one.

* Organized alphabetically via English
* Provides short definition of geographical terms in English and Russian
* Includes multilingual translation of terms from English to Russian, French, German, Spanish

Title - The Edinburgh Dictionary of Continental Philosophy

John Protevi, "The Edinburgh Dictionary of Continental Philosophy"
Edinburgh University Press l PDF l 641 Pages l 2 MB


Book Description :

The Edinburgh Encyclopedia of Continental Philosophy (EECP) has found a home among the leading reference works of various formats (‘Readers’, ‘Companions’, ‘Histories’) now available for readers interested in continental philosophy. These works, consisting of large essays (5–10,000 words) on major figures, movements and topics in the field, serve certain purposes very well, but cannot serve all the needs of readers interested in help with continental philosophy, in particular those new to the field. Limited by the very size of the entries to a restricted number of subject headings, these works are not as nimble or user-friendly as they could be for quick orientation and as guides for further study. For instance, a reader wanting a quick orientation on a particular term used in continental circles (for example, ‘difference’) must be able to associate that term with a particular author and then wade through a long essay hoping for a discussion of it. And while that discussion may provide cross-references to
uses of the term in other philosophers, it may again not do so.

Title - A Dictionary of Neurological Signs

Andrew J. Larner, "A Dictionary of Neurological Signs"
Springer l PDF l 348 Pages l 1.5 MB


Book Description :

The Dictionary of Neurological Signs can be almost as well described in terms of what the book is not, along with details about what it is. The Dictionary is not a handbook for treatment of neuropathies. While many entries provide the latest treatment options, up-to-the-minute therapies are not discussed in bedside level detail. The Dictionary is not a board review book because it is not in Q&A format but could easily serve in that capacity since each entry is a fairly complete snapshot of a specific disorder or disease.

The Dictionary is an alphabetical listing of commonly presenting neurological diseases and disorders designed to guide the physician toward the correct clinical diagnosis. The content is focused, problem-based, concise and practical. The structured entries in this practical, clinical resource provide a thumbnail of a wide range of neurological signs. Each entry includes:

• definition of the sign

• a brief account of the clinical technique required to elicit the sign

• description of the other signs which may accompany the index sign

• explanation of pathyophysiological and/or pharmacological background

• differential diagnosis

• brief treatment details.

Where known, the entries also include neuroanatomical basis of the sign. The Dictionary provides practical, concise answers to complex clinical questions.
