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
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...
評分单词是坎。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...
評分最好的单词书. 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...
評分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 “...
評分《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...

這是我至今為止讀過的最有趣最實用，讀完後記得最牢的詞匯書！
评分在網易雲音樂上傳瞭Verbal Advantage音頻的電颱，每期十個單詞，叫做“Verbal Advantage整閤版”，如果有人用得著。更新，個人簡介有電颱鏈接。更新，個人簡介有PDF和MOBI鏈接。
评分完爆紅寶三韆韋小綠等各類單詞書，值得一背再背。前8個level的詞匯難度基本與GRE持平，最後兩個level收詞較生僻。
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。
评分這本書真是太好瞭，外國人寫的書就是好，死記硬背單詞是不行的，這本書讓我由衷地感到瞭英文的美。。。
