Description:
In The Oxford Spanish Dictionary, Oxford University Press is pleased to offer a major new bilingual reference for 1994. Based on an intensive research project lasting over eight years, The Oxford Spanish sets a new standard as one of the most authoritative--and useful--foreign language dictionaries available today.
For almost a decade, editors Beatriz Jarman and Roy Russell have led an outstanding team of Spanish and English lexicographers as they amassed the most inclusive and up-to-date Spanish dictionary ever published. They have painstakingly investigated vocabulary, meanings, and grammatical information, providing a work of unprecedented scope that reflects how both languages are spoken and written in all contexts--from literature to informal speech to technical publications. Drawing on expertise from the United States, Latin America, Great Britain, and Spain, the dictionary offers a truly comprehensive lexicon--useful from Kansas City to Caracas, from Manchester to Madrid, from San Francisco to San Juan.

Description:
The Spanish American War is remembered more for its enormous political ramifications than for the actual fighting. It marked the end of the Spanish empire in the New World; secured Cuban independence (under U.S. oversight); transferred ownership of Guam, the Philippines, and Puerto Rico to the United States; propelled war hero Theodore Roosevelt to the vice presidency and soon the White House itself; and, most important, signaled the rise of the United States as a global superpower. The War with Spain in 1898, David F. Trask's definitive account, balances the political and military aspects of the conflict. Highlights include the sinking of the U.S. battleship Maine in the Havana harbor and Roosevelt leading his Rough Riders in a brave charge up San Juan Hill. A Mort Kunstler painting of Admiral George Dewey attacking the Spanish fleet at Manila (where he won a spectacular victory) graces the cover. Language base:
