20,000 abbreviations; 36,000 definitions
From ABS to Zebra, this is the most comprehensive dictionary of international abbreviations available, covering the most important business, financial, scientific, medical, and technical abbreviations, as well as those in everyday use.
In addition to abbreviations used in English-speaking countries, the dictionary includes some foreign terms and organizations, especially those likely to be encountered by businessmen and others with contacts abroad. In a world of rapidly proliferating short forms, it is essential to have quick access to the meanings of acronyms (NATO), initialisms (CRC), shortenings (Sun. for Sunday), symbols and signs (A4), and the latest abbreviations that might catch us out, such as http and GSOH (good sense of humour).
