Review # 1 was written on 2012-04-09 00:00:00 Roy Copeland There are some fascinating and useful words, and some great etymological histories, but the example sentences are quite outdated. I don't know what the Entebbe crisis was, or I didn't until I googled it, and most people do not either--but Schur uses at least five different words to describe it. All in all, a great way to expand your vocabulary. Some great words I learned: catharsis, atavistic, fey, insouciant, nadir, sublimate, sylph, apotheosis.

Review # 2 was written on 2021-03-01 00:00:00 Brian Fujimoto Every once in a while it's good to breeze through a modest-sized dictionary like this.
