Acronyms and abbreviations can be convenient for the writer but confusing and frustrating for the reader. Terminology in any specialty or bureaucracy can take on special meanings or definitions. Because of its size and complexity, the federal government never ceases to create large numbers of abbreviations, acronyms, and terms that make reading and understanding its publications and documents difficult. To help readers, editor Philpott offers this two-volume reference guide, which is divided into 29 topical sections, e.g., Acquisitions, Congress, and Veterans' Affairs. Each section begins with terms and their definitions, followed by a list of related abbreviations and acronyms...Although acronyms appear on Web sites such as Acronym Finder http://www.acronymfinder.com/ (CH, Mar'06, 43-3725) and All Acronyms http://www.all-acronyms.com/, terms with special definitions can be more difficult to find. Thus professionals might find the terms defined in these volumes very helpful. Summing Up: Recommended.
