Coulson Jessie, Rankin Nigel, Thompson Delia. The Pocket Oxford Russian Dictionary: English-Russian / Russian-English

2nd ed. — Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1995. — 642 p. — ISBN: 0-19-864500-7 (hbk.), ISBN: 0-19-864526-0The Pocket Oxford Russian Dictionary, the first edition of which was published in 1981, is designed primarily to meet the needs of English-speaking users who do not have an advanced knowledge of Russian. In addition to the linguistically inclined it caters for those whose interest in the language as such is minimal and whose requirements are confined to being able to find and translate a limited number of words encountered in their own particular field of interest or activity. It has therefore established its popularity with students, tourists, and business travellers alike. This new edition offers a variety of enhancements over its predecessor: the text has been entirely reset to afford greater ease of consultation; to reflect change in both the English- and Russian-speaking worlds the word list of each section has been updated and expanded by a total of some 3,000 items; common geographical names are now included; and for the convenience of users who are non-native speakers of English the English headwords have been transcribed into the International Phonetic Alphabet.
