Charles Harrington Elster is a writer, broadcaster, and logophile—a lover of words.
He is the author and narrator of the audio vocabulary-building program Verbal Advantage and the book by the same name. His other books include Tooth and Nail and Test of Time, vocabulary-building novels for high school students preparing to take the college entrance exams; There's a Word for It, a lighthearted look at unusual—and unusually useful—words; and The Big Book of Beastly Mispronunciations, which William Safire of The New York Times hailed as "the best survey of the spoken field in years." In 2005 Harcourt published What in the Word? Wordplay, Word Lore, and Answers to Your Peskiest Questions About Language, and in 2006 Houghton Mifflin released the second edition of The Big Book of Beastly Mispronunciations, featuring nearly 200 new entries.
Charlie was pronunciation editor of the seventh and eighth editions of Black's Law Dictionary and a consultant for Garner's Modern American Usage. He is a guest contributor to the "On Language" column of The New York Times Magazine, and his articles have appeared in the Boston Globe, the Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, the San Diego Union-Tribune, and other publications.
Charlie has also been talking about language on the radio since 1985. He has been interviewed on NPR’s Talk of the Nation, Weekend Edition, and All Things Considered and been a guest on hundreds of radio shows around the country. For five and a half years he cohosted a weekly public radio talk show on language called A Way with Words.
Charlie was born in New York City in 1957 and earned his B.A. cum laude from Yale in 1981. He lives in San Diego with his wife and two daughters.

讀後感
市面上词汇书汗牛充栋，但内容基本大同小异，很多仅仅是单词和释义的简单罗列，学习效果并不好。今天要推荐的Verbal Advantage是个例外，这是一本相当有诚意的词汇提升书籍。 Verbal Advantage的作者Charles Harrington Elster是一名美国作家、播音员以及狂热的单词爱好者。他...

評分这本书最适合用来复习巩固，不太适合做词汇学习的初始材料。 如果看本书之前没有系统学习过英语的词汇（是“学习” 而不是“背”单词），那么学习本书的过程中很容易放弃，因为读懂每一个单词的英文释义都需要同级别的其它词汇。阅读一旦卡壳，就容易半途而废。词汇...

Verbal Advantage的高明全在正文中的生詞，而非條目中的500個。彆人傢的生詞是一個一個地記，而VA傢的是一坨一坨地記。

评分#實踐證明對付急阿姨不能指望這本書。。。
评分單詞書我主要看瞭兩本，一本是《Word Power Made Easy》，另外一本是《Verbal Advantage》，還有就是根據再要你命3000背瞭一些前兩本書沒有齣現過的單詞。從教授單詞的方法上來說，我覺得前者更有意思、更可讀一些。但從對GRE考試的幫助上來說，還是《Verbal Advantage》更有效，因為它囊括瞭更多的難詞。我用程序對比過《Word Power Made Easy》和《Verbal Advantage》與要你命3000的重閤度，後者是前者的兩倍。但無論如何，我覺得兩本書對我的詞匯提升都有很大幫助，備考GRE的功勞也都不小。 當然，這兩本書不一定適閤所有人，畢竟是寫給美國人看的書，不是備考的書。但他們對詞根的分析和串聯，在詞匯量的長期提升上還是大有裨益。
