A classic reference book used by millions globally, this thesaurus has undergone over a century and a half of expansion and improvement. It stands as the most time-tested and bestselling thesaurus, now newly revised to reflect the contemporary English language. The groundbreaking achievement of Dr. Peter Mark Roget in 1852 was the innovative arrangement of words and phrases by their meanings. This system consolidates terms associated with a single thought or concept, allowing for a comprehensive survey of language in a compact format, avoiding the limitations of traditional A-to-Z dictionaries. This organization makes it both an efficient word finder and a valuable tool for stimulating thought, organizing ideas, and enhancing clarity in writing and speaking. The updated seventh edition includes thousands of new words and phrases, capturing the latest slang and expressions that enrich everyday language. Despite these additions, it retains the essential qualities that have made it the most popular word reference book after the dictionary.

A newly revised and updated 8th edition of the world’s bestselling thesaurus—the only thesaurus based on Peter Roget’s original reference classic of 1852. This hardcover thumb-indexed edition includes more than 443,000 words and phrases grouped into 1,075 categories. The revolutionary achievement of Dr. Roget was his development of a new principle: the grouping of words according to ideas. If the user cannot find something in a reference book, it is often because of the restriction of searching alphabetically by ‘known’ headwords. Dr. Roget’s thesaurus thus reversed the access to allow the user to find a word from another word, a concept or an idea. When in 1852 Roget published the first book ever to realize this concept with thoroughness and precision, he called it a “thesaurus” (from the Greek and Latin, meaning “treasury” or “storehouse”). And thesaurus it has remained to this day. The ultimate reference tool, this new edition contains over 443,000 words and phrases grouped into 1,075 numbered categories. Within each category you’ll find all the parts of speech, frequent cross-references, commonly-used words singled out in boldface, quotes that puts words into context , hundreds of fascinating and idiosyncratic word lists and much more. If you’re a writer who needs help organizing a thought or mastering the nuance of expression, Roget's International Thesaurus® remains the first source to turn to.
