3 out of 5 stars Wonderful, but be aware: It's without tabs...........2007-10-09

I grew up with this dictionary- it was the only one my father (who has a Master's in English) reached for. I was excited to see it in Wal-Mart and promptly purchased one, as my family didn't have a dictionary. My husband came home and said, "Why didn't you buy it from Amazon-it would've been a lot cheaper!" I returned the first one to Wal-Mart and bought this from Amazon. It's the same thing, except it doesn't have tabs at the side like the one at Wal-Mart does. I REALLY find them useful so that I don't have to open it and go leafing through it just to get to the letter section that I would like to search through. Keep this in mind when you order. I think I would return this if it wasn't a hassle and pay the extra $ to have the tabs....

5 out of 5 stars IRC Section 529.......2007-09-16

Since I am an international student studying in the United States, my perspective is slightly different from those of other reviewers. If you are studying for standardized tests such as SAT or GRE, this is the ultimate authority you should refer to whenever you feel unsure on the exact meaning of vocabularies you encounter in past administrated tests. If you practice on questions on analogy for awhile, for example, you would discover that the ETS (Educational Testing Services), the maker of GRE and SAT, also relies intensively, although not thoroughly, on Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary definitions to design their questions. Only by referring to the MW can you truly understand why certain answer choice is correct, while others are not.

As a bonus, you also have exclusive rights to send inquires on difficult words to MW resourceful editors, a service I find extremely helpful. Although responses are slow (because of, surprisingly, numerous projects in Merriam-Webster Corporation), you will generally receive the most authoritative answers from the brightest people on the planet. As an ESL learner, I am deeply obsessed with the flexibility, inherent logic, and beauty of English language; all introduced by this enlightening tome.

5 out of 5 stars This book does NOT contain a CD-ROM........2007-09-08

After two unsuccessful attempts to get a CD-ROM with this book, I found the correct dictionary to order. It is Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 11th Edition thumb-notched with Win/Mac CD-ROM and Online Subscription. If you search for Merriam-Webster's Dictionary, this book does not display. Amazon was very cooperative in returning both versions of this book they sent me (without any charges to return them).

Since there is another version of this book that indicates "Book Only," I made an incorrect assumption that this version had the CD-ROM. I am not really sure what the difference is between the "Book Only" version and this version.

5 out of 5 stars A favourable lexicon for the parsimonius consumer.......2007-08-12

A compendium of 225,000 definitions advances itself as an uncommonly intimidating treatise but, lo, I garnered the tenacity to venture forth on an arduous quest of nigh incomprehensible magnitude. My pursuit of rhetorical erudition was both prolonged and tortuous. Indeed, I must yield that the whimsy of surrender infrequently manifested itself as an alluring courtesan of nectareous temptation. Nevertheless, my resolve was but consolidated when I observed a distention in the radius of my parlance. Indeed, I can affirm without recourse to fallacy that the juncture of my undertakings expeditiously culminated prior to the desistance of the tertiary synodic month.

This exhaustive scholastic glossary of the English idiom was most appeasing to my propensity for the conglomerative acquisition of wisdom (although Doreen has experienced sufficient discombublation as to articulate the apprehension that my manner of discourse is presently akin to that of a bovine sphincter).

5 out of 5 stars A helpful refrence book that contains more than defintions.......2007-08-04

I have been using this dictionary for many years. I have gone through a few editions. There are features that this dictionary that The New Oxford American Dictionary, Second Edition does not contain. First of all, the thumb tabs are quite helpful and time saving. Next, would be the word origins, country and languages when applicable, and year that it actually became a word. Followed by the pronunciation keys and parts of speech. In some cases, they also have word variations.

The only reason that I had bought the Oxford one was because this dictionary has words missing that I feel should be included. If a larger more updated version of this becomes available, I will be happy to purchase it.

I ordered the item in your communication except with a CD included. The CD never showed up. You then sent a replacement with exactly the same result. After I called Amazon I was informed that you were out of the advertised item. I was then informed via email, to which no reply was allowed, twice, that I would be charged for the item and its replacement I can see that we will be having a battle royal with the credit card company as there is no way on God's green earth that I will pay anything for such absolutely lousy customer service.

So having this reference book along with the Spell Check on my computer I can actually write an email, letter or report and impress everyone without looking like I have the worst spelling abilities this side of the Mississippi !!! LOL I should have purchased this book along time ago and now that I have I really have no idea what I did without this reference book all this time !!!

The 1998 10th edition of Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary marks the 100th anniversary of this distinguished and popular reference standard, and this is more than just an interesting statistic--it means that Merriam-Webster brings years of experience and reams of citation files to the creation of this latest edition. Improving on their last dictionary, they've added more than 100 pictorial illustrations and supplemented the synonym paragraphs with examples. Along with the English dictionary, which forms the heart of the reference, the editors at Merriam-Webster have included a brief introduction to the English language and a history of the English dictionary, a guide to pronunciation, and a series of appendices that include chemical element abbreviations and symbols, foreign words and phrases, extensive sections with biographical and geographical names, signs and symbols, and a handbook of style.

But getting back to the book itself--it's impressively comprehensive for a collegiate dictionary, with more than 215,000 definitions. Each item includes a pithy wealth of information, with first usage date, etymology, and pronunciation, and clear, precise definitions. In addition, there are often usage notes, synonym cross-references, illustrative quotations, variant spellings and pronunciations, regional labels, and information on capitalization, function, and inflections. Then there are the extra touches. Under bible, for example, there's a chart detailing books of the Old Testament, Jewish Scripture, Protestant apocrypha, and books of the New Testament. Under months is a table listing the months of the principal calendars--Gregorian, Jewish, and Islamic. And wonderful line drawings illustrate terms such as mackerel, lyrebird, hedgehog, and the ancient Celtic stringed instrument known as a crowd. All this makes it a valuable reference--detailed enough for editors and writers, accessible enough for students and casual definition seekers, updated with the new vocabulary of technology, and rigorous enough for the linguistic perfectionists. --Stephanie Gold

This product really needs the addition of an audio pronouncing feature, in our opinion. Without this feature, correct pronouncing is quite difficult.

5 out of 5 stars Great Dictionary.......2007-04-17

I have been using a Merriam-Webster dictionary for years. When I bought a new computer my old software needed replacing. I bought a Dictionary by Random House and was very disappointed. It did not even show how to hyphenate words. I then bought the Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary and love it. It works like it is supposed to and has the features I need.

4 out of 5 stars Barely misses perfection.......2007-04-03

If you're fed up with fumbling even a collegiate-sized or paperback book on your lap just to quickly look up a definition, synonym or spelling, you'll love this electronic dictionary/thesaurus, which conveniently presents all that right on the computer screen where you're already working.

But unfortunately, you'll have to minimize your current program to get to the desktop icon for this program, since it offers no way to pop it up from an icon in the tray -- its worst shortcoming, in my view.

The only way to have it immediately available is by running it, then minimizing it to the taskbar, where it consumes space along with other programs you may already have minimized there. I suppose that's really a minor quibble, but it bugs me greatly because there's no reason beyond lazy programming that it couldn't have offered a tray icon option.

The two exceptions to that are if you're writing in MS Word or Corel's WordPerfect, where macros can be installed as buttons, allowing you to highlight a word and pop it up in the dictionary/thesaurus by clicking that button.

But that's a sadly limited use of a major program's pop-up capability, which with a little extra programming could have been expanded to include virtually any selected word on the screen, as is possible with some other electronic dictionaries.

That notwithstanding, the program offers the same robust selection of definitions and synonyms you'll find in the printed Merriam-Webster Collegiate, but with a number of easily clickable search options for finding them. They're also presented in basically the same excellent format Merriam-Webster uses in its printed versions.

If you can't find a suitable word in the 225,000 definitions and 340,000 synonyms and related words available in this program, you're probably looking for something that'll drive whoever's reading what you're writing to a dictionary.

Selecting the dictionary or thesaurus is as quick and easy as clicking on either from a drop-down menu prominently at the top of the program -- and you can set either as the default on startup.

Other configuration preferences are sparsely limited to changing text size/color and background color, and setting a default for any of the 19 search "types."

To look up a word, you can select from three tabbed options:

Basic Searches (Entry word is...): You'd likely use this most. As soon as you enter the first letter a list pops up in a lower window with everything beginning with that letter. As you type additional letters, you increasingly drill down to words nearer what you're looking for, ending with your word highlighted when you type the final letter. This is basically exactly the same routine as when you use the "Find" feature of any Windows help program -- and sure beats flipping through pages of a book.

Advanced Searches: This is a Boolean thing using AND, OR, NOT and some possible parenthetical expressions. I found it to be mostly an advanced piece of uselessness.

Browse: This is basically like thumbing through a printed dictionary starting at some letter and functions exactly the same as drilling down through the letters of a word using the Basic search feature. But -- and that's a big BUT -- its two options of searching for either the beginning or ending of a word can be a lifesaver when you have no idea how to begin spelling that word. For example: Try looking up "ptarmigan" under "T" or "mnemonic" under "N." You'll get nowhere fast on either. But search for the fairly obvious endings and sooner than later you'll find those words.

One other quibble I have with this program is that it refuses to recognize my USB mouse wheel for scrolling through the word lists. But I've learned to be content with the side slider.

Its few shortcomings aside, at Amazon's price this program's a world-class bargain, functions flawlessly for what it's intended and hands down beats wrestling with a book.

4 out of 5 stars Perfect -- almost!.......2007-03-16

This is a can't -live-without- it reference product. It's got all sorts of ways to help the writer or speaker. Is it Antartic or Antarctic? Athelete or Athlete? What's a four letter word synonym for morose? What is the correct pronouncement of herb? Whet? What rhymes with storage? There are at least 15 valuable word tools in this relatively inexpensive program. I would pay twice the price.

That said, I had difficulty installing the software on my iMac G5 running O.S. 10.4. I ordered the CD (so glad I did) and everything was a snap except ... no pronunciation unless the CD was inserted. This is fixable, but not without cnversations with M-W. And their instructions didn't work well. PCs? I couldn't say. What the hell -- take a chance.

5 out of 5 stars Historical Use of this Dictionary.......2007-02-24

This edition of the Webster's Dictionaray was recommended to me when I began writing historical fiction. Many of the entries have a note giving the year the word was first used. I had previously used an Oxford English Dictionary, which does not give the year of origin. The nice thing about the Oxford, however, is that it contains many words used in England along with English, rather than American, spellings.

This would also be a useful dictionary for the high school student. It has a presentation page making it a nice gift for students.

4 out of 5 stars Jefferson's Empire: The Origins of American Nationhood.......2005-02-28

Peter Onuf's, Jefferson's Empire: The Origins of American Nationhood, focuses on two themes: Jefferson's contradictory race relations with Native Americans and African Americans and his vision of a people's republic in its purest form, free of English influence.

Chapter one of Onuf's book, "We Shall All Be American's", addresses Jefferson's pendulum like perception of Native Americans. In his early political career, Jefferson perceived Native Americans as being the essential model of "natural republicans". He describes them as governed by no central authority, not submissive to laws and sovereign of the corruption in Europe. However, Jefferson's view of the Native American's changes when they deny Jefferson's attempt of a peaceful westward expansion and form alliances with the English during the revolution. Jefferson denounces them as being "savages", who threaten the construction of his republican empire. He suggests they abandoned their "primitive hunting and gathering society" and adopt his vision of a republican society, or risk social annihilation.

Chapter two, "Republican Empire", Onuf examines Jefferson's early political career as Virginia governor in which he constructed his vision of a republican empire. He begins by assaulting the tyrannical rule of the English parliament and their foreign political puppets, the federalists. He attacks the king's imperial ownership of land and the submission of his colonial population as being "British subjects". Jefferson argued it was infeasible to construct a nation, governed by those who swore allegiance to a foreign king and government. Jefferson used Virginia as what Onufs calls, "a political blueprint". He was heavily opposed in creating a centralized metropolis that commands the entire nation, denying independence to other regions. Using Virginia as his blueprint, Jefferson envisioned the creation of a republican empire, expanding westward, under a unified nation, free of English deposition.

Chapter three, "Revolution of 1800", Onuf analyzes why Jefferson refers to his victory as, "the second American revolution". Onuf argues, after the implementation of the Alien Sedition Acts of 1798, Jefferson reached the boiling point with the excessive abuse of executive power. Jefferson argued, America was simply a puppet government of England who defeated a nation, but is still poisoned by its oppressive political philosophy. Jefferson believed this was a deterioration of the "sprit of 1776" . However, the revolution of 1800 according to Jefferson was a victory achieved through reform, not by sword, in which he now had the opportunity to build his republican empire and restore the legacy of the revolution.

Chapter four, "Federal Union", Onuf focuses on Jefferson in his retirement. During his retirement, three significant historical events occurred that threatened the preservation of his republican empire: the Missouri compromise, the Hartford convention and the Burr conspiracy. Despite the admittance of Missouri and the failure of both the Hartford Convention and Burr Conspiracy, Onuf argues it painted a bleak future in Jefferson's conscious. Jefferson believed these events were a foreshadow to the future destruction of his republican empire. As a result, Jefferson lived his final days in despair, fearing the destruction of his republican empire.

In his final chapter, "Declare Them a Free and Independent People", Onuf returns to focus on Jefferson's pendulum-like view of race relations. He begins by discussing Jefferson's agenda of total emancipation of African Americans in Virginia. Jefferson believes, slavery is an assault on the nature of his "republican empire" originally instituted by England. However, Jefferson's perception transforms as he assumes the executive office. Jefferson argues African Americans are inferior to whites both physically and mentally. Emancipation would be theoretically impossible, only to produce civil war among former slave owners and African Americans. Jefferson also argues, the institution of slavery created two national identities, one American and other African American, that could never coexist peacefully. His only logical solution is for African Americans to develop their own civilization on foreign territory.

Anyone interested in the political ideology of Thomas Jefferson and his controversal race relations, this is a well-researched, informative monograph. My only critism is the author frequently looses the reader in his attempt to impress you with his use of needless vocabulary. Despite this only flaw, Onuf illustrates why he is among leading scholars of the early republic.

5 out of 5 stars Jefferson's Empire Approriate For Todays World.......2003-04-09

Peter S. Onuf's book, Jefferson's Empire: The Language of American Nationhood, is actually a collection of five essay that, as he says in his introduction, were prepared for different conferences at different times and places. His book is a scholarly coherent and original whole that revolves around two major themes of Jefferson's ideas of empire and nation and their relationship to each other. This is not a biographic narrative, but Onuf's argument that Jefferson believed the American Revolution was the first, powerful step toward a world empire of independent, republics bound together in a union of mutual affection and support. First, the establishment of independent republics forming an expanding union, essential to republicanism, on the American continent. The European continent would follow, and finally a worldwide union of free and independent states, bound together in mutual admiration, aid and affection.

Thomas Jefferson's ideal of revolution, that he called the "Spirit of 1776" would become the "Spirit of Everyman." Onuf argues in his introduction that Jefferson's vision of an empire of liberty would not reflect the corruption Jefferson attributed to the British Empire, and the more enlightened people of Europe would embrace this new way of political rule and life. Jefferson's empire would be made up of independent self-ruling people. The American Revolution would transform the world!

In Onuf's first chapter, "We shall all be Americans," Thomas Jefferson was referring to the American Indians, whom he idealized as natural republicans when they were in their "natural state" and uncorrupted by the British. Jefferson accused the British of being guilty of misguiding and misleading the natives in their mutual quest to fight and overcome the American colonists. In his second chapter, titled Republican Empire, Onuf's illustrates his argument that Thomas Jefferson's vision of an "American Empire" is founded in his experience of the American Revolution. Jefferson believed that a republican empire that avoided a central metropolitan power would be less self-serving, less onerously oppressive and less threatening to liberty. Onuf states, "Banishing metropolitan power from the New World, Jefferson imagined a great nation, a dynamic and expansive union of free peoples."

For Jeffersonians, the "Spirit of 1776" evoked both the Revolutionaries vaulting ambition to inaugurate a new world order and the desperate measures that they had been driven to by the collapse of the old imperial order. This was, as Onuf explains, the same old imperial order that Jefferson as a younger man had embraced and hoped to emulate in his public and private life. In Onuf's third chapter, "The Revolution of 1800," he illustrates the time and feeling of the era of a major sea change from the Federalist government, to Jefferson's principles founded in his proclaimed "Spirit of 1776."

Illustrating our Third President's reasoning Onuf quotes Jefferson, "The revolution of 1800 was as real a revolution in the principle of our government as that of 1776 was in its form; not effected indeed by the sword, as that, but by the rational and peaceable instrument of reform, the suffrage of the people. The nation declared its will by dismissing functionaries of one principle, and electing those of another, in the two branches, executive and legislature, submitted to their election."

Onuf goes on to explain that even Jefferson himself could not have fully grasped what becoming a people of revolution meant in 1776. Their national identity, states Onuf, did not begin to clarify until the revolution of 1800. Onuf explains that the crisis of the 1790s, with the limitations being placed on civil liberties had `roused the people from their slumbers' with the result that the people began to become conscious of themselves as a nation. According to Onuf, the transformation of Madisonian pessimism into Jeffersonian optimism constituted a crucial epoch in American political history.

In chapter four, "Federal Union," Onuf shows that Jefferson could not, even in retirement, stay uninvolved in national politics. Missouri was to be admitted as a state that would not allow slavery, a "free state" of the union. The controversy heated up as people chose sides to debate the admission of a state that would be required to ban slavery. Thomas Jefferson characterized the controversy as "a fire-bell in the night." The "Spirit of 1776" itself was under attack. To Jefferson, the eventual Missouri Compromise was not a compromise, but a grievous wound to the union that he feared would never heal.

In his fifth chapter, "To Declare Them a Free and Independent People," Onuf takes up the most difficult part of understanding Thomas Jefferson. Onuf illustrates Jefferson's attitude toward slaves by quoting from Jefferson's autobiography. "Nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate, than that these people are to be free." In spite of the fact that Jefferson himself was a slave owner, he expressed his belief that everyone should be free. Concerning slavery, in his Notes On the State of Virginia, Jefferson wrote the prophetic and unforgettable words; "I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just."

Throughout this fascinating work, Onuf demonstrates that Thomas Jefferson is all too human. In spite of Thomas Jefferson's great contributions as one of our founding fathers and his ideals of freedom and the revolutionary "Spirit of 1776," he is not just an American icon. He is a man, of human contradictions, faults and greatnesses. His relationships with the American Indians and his slaves show his human faults, as well as his humanity.

Onuf shows that we are indebted to Thomas Jefferson for much of our common language of American Nationhood. As the leading Jefferson scholar, Onuf does not disappoint the advanced reader in this well-reasoned, scholarly work. It should be read, studied, enjoyed, shared, debated and on the bookshelf of anyone seriously interested in the history of Thomas Jefferson and the American Nation.

5 out of 5 stars An excellent tool for all iranians to get to know Mossaddegh.......1999-03-19

The author"Mary Ann Heiss" has used her knowledge of ten years of extensive research to explain the political and economical situation of iran during the 1950-1954. I strongly recommend this book to all iranians who wish to know the truth about their homeland and those who love and admire Mr. Mossaddegh.
