Tired of flipping back and forth between a dictionary and a thesaurus,
searching for just the right word? This second edition of the Little
Oxford Dictionary and Thesaurus, combines (joins, unifies, links,
connects, integrates, merges, etc.) two superb language resources,
allowing users to find both definitions and synonyms under the same
entry quickly and easily. Available in the US for the first time, this
dictionary and thesaurus is the smallest hardback in the Oxford range,
offering a convenient, compact, and portable reference book to help with
studies, everyday language problems, or cross-word puzzles and other
word games, wherever you happen to be. The easy-to-use layout places the
thesaurus entry for a word directly alongside the dictionary entry so
that you no longer have to search the page to find the word you're
looking for. A center section gives encyclopedic information such as
lists of countries and capitals, rivers and lakes, kings, queens, and
prime ministers, as well as collective nouns, helping you to broaden
your knowledge of language and of the world.

Thesaurus is the ideal small reference book for home, school, or work.
