Product Description
The newly updated American Heritage® High School Dictionary,
Fourth Edition, offers the distinctive qualities that characterize the
American Heritage® line without including obscene words or offensive
slurs. The dictionary features a modern, readable defining style, helpful
guidance on English usage, and more than 2,500 photographs and
drawings that enhance definitions and invite browsing.
New to this updated release are recently prominent terms such
as edamame, ringtone, sandboard, spyware, and Texas hold'em, and
biographical entries for figures such as newly appointed Supreme Court
justices John Roberts and Samuel Alito, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen
Harper, and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. Additionally, the Periodic
Table of the Elements now includes the newest element, roentgenium,
and the geographical entries reflect up-to-date geopolitical changes,
such as the recent dissolution of Serbia and Montenegro.
Usage notes based on the opinions of the renowned American
Heritage® Usage Panel help the reader discern the difference between
the conventional and the quirky in language use. Special features on
synonyms, regionalisms, and word histories enrich vocabulary and show
how language changes over time. The American Heritage® High School
Dictionary, Fourth Edition, is the most comprehensive high school
dictionary available today.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: The American Heritage High School Dictionary (Hardcover)
I was looking for an Amarican dictionary that could see my 7 year old son through college. I scanned the Amazon and read in detail about all available dictionaries and made this choice. Now I am using it myself also. It presents works broken into syllables and the pronunciation key is provided on every page. This makes correcting pronunciation easy. It is partially illustrated. This makes it pleasant to read. Although it is thick, it is light. This is an important consideration for students. The binding is strong, so is the paper. I am sure it will see my son through college.
