The company publishes a diverse array of print and electronic products, including Merriam-Webster's Collegiate® Dictionary, Eleventh Edition – America's best-selling desk dictionary – and Webster's Third New International Dictionary, Unabridged. Merriam-Webster can be considered the direct lexicographical heir of Noah Webster. In 1843, the company bought the rights to the 1841 edition of Webster's magnum opus, An American Dictionary of the English Language, Corrected and Enlarged. At the same time, they secured the rights to create revised editions of the work. Since that time, Merriam-Webster editors have carried forward Noah Webster's work, creating some of the most widely used and respected dictionaries and reference books in the world.

Wrong title !!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Merriam-Webster's Pocket Geographical Dictionary (Pocket Reference Library) (Paperback)
This little book is more about what I call "locational geography". It lists geographical places instead of geographical terms. Still a fairly good reference book. Also, difficult to read due to very SMALL print. For definitions of geographical terms, including all earth science terms, I recommend McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Earth Science.
