An abridged edition of the world`s bestselling original thesaurus. This completely revised and updated edition contains over 230,000 words, nearly three thousand of which are newly added. The revolutionary achievement of Dr. Roget was his development of a brand new principle: the grouping of words according to ideas. If the user cannot find something in a reference book, it is often because of the restriction of searching alphabetically by `known` headwords. Dr. Roget`s thesaurus reversed the access to allow the user to find a word from another word, a concept or an idea.

«J`ai retenu trois figures, toutes de cœur, tandis que j`écartais une partie de moindre importance. Les deux nouvelles cartes qui m`ont été distribuées pouvaient justifier la manœuvre, car j`ai toujours eu la main heureuse au poker. Discret, furtif, pointant à peine à travers la fumée piquante du tabac, le bord d`une carte se fraye un chemin sous mon pouce. As de cœur - qu`on appelle cœur de grenouille en Californie. Et les grelots du joker! Il ne me reste qu`à espérer que mes bons vieux partenaires dont les jeux regorgent de quintes et de mains pleines penseront que je suis en train de bluffer».

While the Mick Jagger of today drips with millions and seems to have become a member of the aristocratic establishment, there was once a time when he and his fellow Rolling Stones were rebels every bit as anti-establishment as the Sex Pistols. They have let slip their true feelings on many occasions and Mark Paytress`s book catches them off guard, unearthing statements and interviews long forgotten. Now re-issued in paperback. Rediscovers unguarded and often indiscreet comments and frank opinions that might later have been denied altogether. A verbal documentary laced with the authentic flavour of the rebellious Rolling Stones in their heyday, the craziness that surrounded Mick and Keith and their disintergrating compatriot Brian Jones,...
