It serves as an essential guide for professionals seeking to stay informed and culturally fluent in an interconnected world. ## Description In this fast-paced information age, how can Americans know what's really important and what's just a passing fashion? Now more than ever, we need a source that concisely sums up the knowledge that matters to Americans -- the people, places, ideas, and events that shape our cultural conversation. With more than six thousand entries, The New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy is that invaluable source. Wireless technology. Gene therapy. NAFTA. In addition to the thousands of terms described in the original Dictionary of Cultural Literacy, here are more than five hundred new entries to bring Americans' bank of essential knowledge up to date. The original entries have been fully revised to reflect recent changes in world history and politics, American literature, and, especially, science and technology. Cultural icons that have stood the test of time (Odysseus, Leaves of Grass, Cleopatra, the Taj Mahal, D-Day) appear alongside entries on such varied concerns as cryptography, the digital divide, the European Union, Kwanzaa, pheromones, SPAM, Type A and Type B personalities, Web browsers, and much, much more. As our world becomes more global and interconnected, it grows smaller through the terms and touchstones that unite us. As E. D. Hirsch writes in the preface, "Community is built up of shared knowledge and values--the same shared knowledge that is taken for granted when we read a book or newspaper, and that is also taken for granted as part of the fabric that connects us to one another." A delicious concoction of information for anyone who wants to be in the know, The New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy brilliantly confirms once again that it is "an excellent piece of work . . . stimulating and enlightening" ( New York Times )--the most definitive and comprehensive sourcebook of its kind. Review: All the stuff you don't know in one book - It is very American (of course), but a really interesting read. Like a pub quiz without the sport round.

Like a pub quiz without the sport round. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ very imformative *by A***R on 16 October 2019* great book ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you ever spent Rainy Days wandering around in the Encyclopedias, this book is for you *by M***. on 20 May 2026* Definitions are slightly longer than regular dictionaries. It differs from dictionaries in that paragraphs are grouped by TOPICS which are listed in the table of contents... examples: history, earth science, medicine and health..... and surprise... idioms and proverbs.It answers questions somewhat like Google does, but a Reader's curiosity will lead them to the next definition. I like this book for students looking for a topic for a report.. you might THINK you want to read about the Iron Curtain, but Ivan the Terrible is next and HOW much fun would he be to research? Google sends you to simolar topics;this book sends you to new ideas ## Frequently Bought Together - The New Dictionary Of Cultural Literacy: What Every American Needs to Know - An Incomplete Education: 3,684 Things You Should Have Learned but Probably Didn't - The Intellectual Devotional: Revive Your Mind, Complete Your Education, and Roam Confidently with the Cultured Class --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/240753557-new-dictionary-of-cultural-literacy](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/240753557-new-dictionary-of-cultural-literacy) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-16*
