A specialist resource
This is a beautifully produced volume, with a strong, semi-stiff cover, and most reasonably priced. It provides specialist vocabulary in five languages for a wide range of fields where the visual element is straightforward and indispensable, including astronomy, biology, food & kitchen, and many types of machine; it is poor on the arts (apart from architectural terms and musical instruments), and does not attempt to cover areas such as the humanities where illustrations would be more problematic. What it is not is a general dictionary, providing the vocabulary you would need on holiday or when writing a letter. Obvious? But one regrets the lack of a publisher's description of what this book covers and what it does not.

Handy quick reference.
Useful multi-language dictionary. Small and light enough to keep in your cabin bag, American English rather than English English translations which should not be a problem for native English speakers but may cause slight problems for others.

It is a very useful tool as a teacher / translator or even when leaving in a foreign country, it gives you that extra vocab you cannot seem to find anywhere else.

Exactly what I expected
I really love this product because it is exactly what I was hoping for. I would totally recommend this product to people who are learning multiple languages in same time and can actually already speak on basic level. Serves perfectly to enrich vocabulary in multiple languages in same time and advance to higher level. Using pictures is much easier than using explanatory dictionary for the same purpose.
