Описание: As Oxford's flagship American dictionary, the New Oxford American Dictionary sets the standard of excellence for lexicography in this country. With more than 350,000 words, phrases, and senses, hundreds of explanatory notes, and more than a thousand illustrations, this dictionary provides the most comprehensive and accurate coverage of American English available. The dictionary draws on the two-billion-word Oxford English Corpus and the unrivaled citation files of the world-renowned Oxford English Dictionary to provide the most accurate and richly descriptive picture of American English ever offered in any dictionary.
The Third Edition offers a thoroughly updated text, with revisions throughout and approximately 2,000 new words, phrases, and meanings. Many new words relate to fast-moving areas such as computing, technology, currentaffairs, and ecology, while others have recently entered the popular lexicon. Usage notes have been updated in light of the most recent Corpus evidence, and a completely new in-text feature on Word Trends charts usage for rapidly changing words and phrases such as carbon, mobile, or tweet.
In addition, the volume has anattractive, modern new text design that makes entries easier to read and find. One of the hallmarks of the New Oxford American Dictionary is the way it reflects the living language. Unlike in more traditional dictionaries, where meanings are ordered chronologically according to the history of the language, each entry plainly shows the principal meaning or meanings of the word, organized by importance in today's English.
Thus readers can be confident that the first definition they see is the one most likely to be used by people today, and is not a sense that hasbeen obsolete for two centuries. Offering clear, authoritative, and precise information, with the in-depth and up-to-date coverage that users need and expect, the New Oxford American Dictionary is the benchmark by which all other American dictionaries are measured.

We each control the path in life we take...or so we like to believe.
More often than not, events in our lives are far out of our control. Groups of young adults learn this fact the hard way when three brothers come to Earth and claim to be the gods of games. These three gods, in an effort to end their century-long boredom, decide to use these humans as game pieces see which group of humans come out on top. Unfortunately, in order for some humans to win, many must die. And just like humans, each take this matter differently: some accept, others deny, and few look for another way. But regardless of how they may feel, one fact that can't be avoided is that blood will spill. This situation or this game, known as Warterria, will push the humans to the brink. The human psyche will be tormented and tested. And in order to survive, some will have to relive the horrible darkness of their past while others discover the ugly monster that exists within them. Will the humans tear each other apart in order to preserve their own life, or will they work together to stop the true enemy and put an end to a god's game?
