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.

最好的单词书. 现在看了一个月+, 完成了四个level 十个一组的学 然后做笔记. 我一般会学一些比较魔性的GIF图辅助记忆. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 以 level4 word31 为例子 callow = green, naive, la...
评分看这本书的时候，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...
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...
用户评价
单词书我主要看了两本，一本是《Word Power Made Easy》，另外一本是《Verbal Advantage》，还有就是根据再要你命3000背了一些前两本书没有出现过的单词。从教授单词的方法上来说，我觉得前者更有意思、更可读一些。但从对GRE考试的帮助上来说，还是《Verbal Advantage》更有效，因为它囊括了更多的难词。我用程序对比过《Word Power Made Easy》和《Verbal Advantage》与要你命3000的重合度，后者是前者的两倍。但无论如何，我觉得两本书对我的词汇提升都有很大帮助，备考GRE的功劳也都不小。 当然，这两本书不一定适合所有人，毕竟是写给美国人看的书，不是备考的书。但他们对词根的分析和串联，在词汇量的长期提升上还是大有裨益。
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。。。
