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.

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...

看这本书的时候，一直在患得患失——害怕看完了，就再也无法期待如此好书了。事实证明:我想多了。反反复复看了三年、书都看烂了两本，还是觉得很多东西都记不下来。可能要一直看下去了。但是还是觉得自己有很大的进步。因为遇到美国人的时候，我能说一些甚至连他们都不能说的...

2个月时间，认真读完了这本书，每一个单词，每一个短语，每一句话不敢相信，发现了一个错误。在第十个level的quiz中，应该是作者的笔误吧。第十个level中有世界上最长的一个单词， 29-letter, 12-syllable word，floccinaucinihipilification读出来像和尚念经， meaning “...

很棒的词汇书，好像光说是词汇书还不够全面，可以说是将英语作为交流工具的再升华吧，400多页，10 levels，总过就500个左右，但是每个单词，由其引申出的词汇就够读书者研究很久了。作为读者，推荐大家可以先看Longman里面的Communication 3000和Academic Word List，都是最...

单词是坎。英文不懂，多半是单词不懂。学（不用“背”字）单词，难，意义难，用法难，数量更让人难。词根法就是管理复杂度的方法（我不想说它是“捷径”，但却有点忍不住想说“正确的方法”）。仅考虑被动单词量，记单词，即训练自己能够从单词的拼写反应到单词的意义。词典可...
