A singular and indispensable reference tool, The Describer's
Dictionary-now expanded and updated-has served for over twenty
years as the go-to resource for writers who are determined to
capture the world in just the right words. The dictionary uses a
unique reverse definition-to-term format that makes it easy to zero
in on the term you're seeking. Turn to the new section on sensory
impressions, for example, to find vivid terms for "loud or
jarring," such as "grating," "harsh," "piercing," "blaring,"
"thunderous," "cacophonous," and "raucous." And at the end of each
section dozens of illustrative passages by notable fiction and
nonfiction authors-including Donna Tartt, Michael Lewis, Zadie
Smith, Khaled Hosseini, and Paul Theroux-bring the terminology to
life. New in this edition: * Hundreds of additional definitions,
terms, and synonyms * Brand-new categories, including "Physical
States and Symptoms," "Temperament and Behavior," "Rooms and
Interior Spaces," "Weather and Forces of Nature," and "The Solar
System" * Over 400 new quotations from books, periodicals, and
digital media by established and rising literary stars * An index
of the more than 600 authors quoted in the book
