About the Book
A Labor of Love
Quantitative and Qualitative Detail
In Search of Excellence
It took more than seven years to compile, edit, design, and hone this reference book. It covers both general and specialist vernacular, but is not comprehensive or all-inclusive-- it is merely a guide for learning to speak and write more explicitly by offering alternative words in noun form. Education is a lifelong journey.
