A new index, based on Roget's original index and updated for the 21st century, now lets you browse the thesaurus by theme, directing you to related entries. Users accustomed to a Roget-style thesaurus will appreciate this alternate way to explore A-Z listings. And word buffs will enjoy specialized word lists, such as phobias and animal group names. Writers and speakers everywhere know that when you have to say it better, WEBSTER'S NEW WORLD THESAURUS is the essential word resource.
