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.

读后感
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...
评分《verbal advantage》是一本特立独行的单词书。 这是一本国外大热的单词书，美国出版，本来目标读者是母语为美语的学生，但被热爱英语的人们发现，特别适合有一定基础的学习者提高词汇水平。虽然只有500核心词，但从中引申出无数同义词，近义词，指明了单词的发音变化和来源出...
评分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 “...
评分【帖前声明】：提升单词量和掌握精深程度的终极武器当然是阅读（如专业文献及英美的报纸杂志等），这里只是针对那些想要找些高品质的词汇书来学习的朋友做些介绍。 大家当时为了考G，一路红宝和再要你命三千背下来，单词量想必有了不小的提升，但是背单词这件事儿，用句俗话讲...
评分到底要有多大的词汇量才能开始看原版书？单词记了忘，忘了记怎么办？有什么诀窍来对付英文考试吗？这是许多人都关心的问题。 但归根结底，如果你能回答——词汇到底有多重要？这个问题，那么以上的问题想必就迎刃而解了。 词汇之于的阅读的重要性，就好比嗅觉之于享受大餐一...

在网易云音乐上传了Verbal Advantage音频的电台，每期十个单词，叫做“Verbal Advantage整合版”，如果有人用得着。更新，个人简介有电台链接。更新，个人简介有PDF和MOBI链接。
评分这本书真是太好了，外国人写的书就是好，死记硬背单词是不行的，这本书让我由衷地感到了英文的美。。。
评分虽然不是考试用书，但考G看这本书绝对比红宝更好，不仅仅学到单词，还有更多，词源，用法，等等。红宝太扯了，词根错误，记忆法什么的，只能暂时应付考试，长远来说对英文进步是没什么好处的。这本书是真正提高英语词汇量和水平的书，如果能把整本书里的单词（不光是列出来的）都搞清楚，绝对牛了。还有音频，结合学习效果更佳。目前只读了一遍，还没记全，会不断温习。
评分这样的好书！大家怎么可以错过啊~
