Riassunto:

NTC's Dictionary of the United Kingdom is a comprehensive, accessible guide to the language, culture, history, and geography of the United Kingdom. The dictionary presents 13,500 entries and nearly 17,000 definitions of contemporary and culturally historic concepts, regional terms (including expressions from Wales, Ireland, and Scotland), names of royalty and customs, as well as definitions of slang, colloquial, and idiomatic expressions. It is a practical and useful tool for decoding those special words and expressions that are uniquely British.
Among the features of the dictionary are the following: background notes, line drawings, and maps enhancing the entries; carefully defined entries giving American English counterparts where appropriate; and an extensive cross-referencing system showing the relationship between entries.
