توضیحات
Cassell’s Dictionary of Abbreviations by J. W. Gurnett is a handy reference that explains the meanings behind all the abbreviations that fill television, newspapers, books, and magazines. The 20,000 entries in this new work, which replaces Cassell’s Dictionary of Abbreviations, published in 1949, cover a very wide field. Since the end of the war there has grown up such a vast proliferation of abbreviations for institutions and bodies in both political and commercial life that an up-to-date book on the subject has become as essential a work of reference in home and office as a language dictionary.
The United Nations, N.A.T.O. and Common Market bodies and committees, and trade and professional bodies are all covered in detail. So are military, ecclesiastical and chivalric abbreviations and those used in the world of learning in Britain and the Commonwealth.
The dictionary also includes commercial, technical, scientific, legal, geographic and general abbreviations in English, but does not confine itself to that language alone; it is particularly useful in covering, for example, a very wide range of commercial abbreviations in the major European languages. In an age when virtually every organization, invention, and cultural, technological or social concept is immediately shortened to its initialized form, a good dictionary of abbreviations is an essential aid. Read through thousands of entries that concisely define what each letter means.
