Dictionary of Technical Concepts as Defined in DIN Standards
by Henry G. Freeman, English/German, 5th edition, 2003, 1340 pages, A5, Hard cover
$150.00

This dictionary, which comprises 6,500 definitions recorded in DIN Standards together with their English equivalents, has established itself both inside and outside Germany as the comprehensive source of information on accepted technical usage in the two languages. Standards represent the state of the art and the terms used are defined by acknowledged experts in the given field. In the preparation of the English translation, the author has been able to draw on the expertise of a team of highly qualified translators and terminologists. This English/German edition corresponds, with minor corrections, to the fourth, revised German/English edition of the Freeman Dictionary, which was published in 1992 in response to the global growth of technology in recent years and to the corresponding increase in the number of technical terms requiring accurate definition.
