Book excerpt: "Special attention has been paid to Australian culture and history, including Aboriginal history. In addition, many lexical items that are normally given only very brief treatment in conventional dictionaries are here often given detailed explanatory coverage. Aware that modern users of dictionaries demand guidance on matters of controversial or disputed usage, Dr Moore has included more than 500 usage notes. The major feature of this new edition, however, is the addition of some 10,000 new lexical items, dramatically increasing the core size of the dictionary."--Jacket.
