A translation company that specialises in insurance has made this collection of glossaries available, free of charge. There are over three hundred items in seventeen categories to choose from. They range from law and life sciences to accounting and safety. In other words, there are a lot of very useful subjects covered.
Under the new listings I took a look at the Airline Handbook Glossary. In fact, the glossary is only a small part of what you get. There's also a further nine chapters on aviation, aircraft, air traffic control, etc.
Some of the resources listed by this glossary gateway are just short glossaries. Some are multilingual dictionaries, including the massive Eurodicatom, with five and a half million entries. Some are mainly of local interest, others are global in their scope. Most are in English but some are in other languages.
I particularly liked the lightening dictionary with its hyperlinks to other entries. It is part of a whole site on lightening, brought to us from West Virginia. Perhaps they get a lot of it there. There are some amazing photos on this site, too.
There's a statistics textbook, of which the glossary is just one part. I notice someone interested in learning statistics posted a message in the Bar recently. And for the sceptics amongst you, there's a glossary of mathematical mistakes. And who said glossaries are boring?
Cheers
