Customer Reviews
Brilliant detailed definitions.
This dictionary provides absolutely brilliant , detailed definitions especially for my AS Geography course. It has really helped me and so far it has not failed in providing me with a definition that I need. However, my only criticism would be that the definitions can sometimes be a bit too detailed, but on the whole this book is a very useful resource.
