The core of the dictionary ? its 30,000 entries and 1,000 pieces of art ? has been reviewed for currency. Newly defined words include air bag, genome, Internet, Web site, ATV, browser, homeschool, kickboxing, and many more. Other words have acquired new meanings since the original book was published: chat, click, extreme, net, surf, web, and window, for example.

And of course, the updated Scholastic Children's Dictionary still uses its unique, child-friendly, easy-to-decode pronunciation system. Words are spelled out the way they sound. There are no strange schwas or letter combinations to make pronunciations confusing!

Described by the philosopher A.J. Ayer as a work of 'great originality and power', this book revolutionized contemporary thinking on science and knowledge. Ideas such as the now legendary doctrine of 'falsificationism' electrified the scientific community, influencing even working scientists, as well as post-war philosophy. This astonishing work ranks alongside The Open Society and Its Enemies as one of Popper's most enduring books and contains insights and arguments that demand to be read to this day.
