New Russian Lexicon Russian-English Dictionary with Explanations
Новый русский лексикон Русско-английский словарь с пояснениями
Словарь содержит около 3 тыс. слов и словосочетаний, вошедших в русский язык за последние 10-15 лет. Основными источниками формирования словаря послужили многочисленные литературные произведения, а также средства массовой информации России. Словарь рассчитан на самый широкий круг пользователей - школьников и студентов, учителей гимназий и профессоров университетов, бизнесменов и гидов, актеров и переводчиков. Кроме того, он представит несомненный интерес для всех, кто изучает Россию и русский язык во всеманглоязычном мире, ибо без этого словаря в любом современном тексте, исходящем из России и о ней, они натолкнутся на многие лингвистические 'загадки' и 'ребусы'.

Explanations seem to be a large and natural part of our cognitive
lives. As Frank Keil and Robert Wilson write, "When a cognitive
activity is so ubiquitous that it is expressed both in a preschooler's
idle questions and in work that is the culmination of decades of
scholarly effort, one has to ask whether we really have one and the
same phenomenon or merely different cognitively based phenomena that
are loosely, or even metaphorically, related."
This book is unusual in its interdisciplinary approach to that
ubiquitous activity. The essays address five basic questions about
explanation: How do explanatory capacities develop? Are there kinds of
explanation? Do explanations correspond to domains of knowledge? Why do
we seek explanations, and what do they accomplish? How central are
causes to explanation? The essays draw on work in the history and
philosophy of science, the philosophy of mind and language, the
development of concepts in children, conceptual change in adults, and
reasoning in human and artificial systems. They also introduce emerging
perspectives on explanation from computer science, linguistics, and
anthropology.

This is one of the best TOEFL
or TOEIC books I have seen, and the best I have used definitely. There
are 30 lessons, and most can be done in 1 hour, or up to 2 if you have
a lot of discussion or slow students. It can even be used for advanced
students as a brush up and conversation/listening book. The CD's are
good and it contains exercises and explanations for listening, reading,
identifying photos, etc.
