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.

具体描述
读后感
市面上词汇书汗牛充栋，但内容基本大同小异，很多仅仅是单词和释义的简单罗列，学习效果并不好。今天要推荐的Verbal Advantage是个例外，这是一本相当有诚意的词汇提升书籍。 Verbal Advantage的作者Charles Harrington Elster是一名美国作家、播音员以及狂热的单词爱好者。他...
评分这本书最适合用来复习巩固，不太适合做词汇学习的初始材料。 如果看本书之前没有系统学习过英语的词汇（是“学习” 而不是“背”单词），那么学习本书的过程中很容易放弃，因为读懂每一个单词的英文释义都需要同级别的其它词汇。阅读一旦卡壳，就容易半途而废。词汇...
评分很棒的词汇书，好像光说是词汇书还不够全面，可以说是将英语作为交流工具的再升华吧，400多页，10 levels，总过就500个左右，但是每个单词，由其引申出的词汇就够读书者研究很久了。 作为读者，推荐大家可以先看Longman里面的Communication 3000和Academic Word List，都是最...
评分 评分【帖前声明】：提升单词量和掌握精深程度的终极武器当然是阅读（如专业文献及英美的报纸杂志等），这里只是针对那些想要找些高品质的词汇书来学习的朋友做些介绍。 大家当时为了考G，一路红宝和再要你命三千背下来，单词量想必有了不小的提升，但是背单词这件事儿，用句俗话讲...
用户评价
在网易云音乐上传了Verbal Advantage音频的电台，每期十个单词，叫做“Verbal Advantage整合版”，如果有人用得着。更新，个人简介有电台链接。更新，个人简介有PDF和MOBI链接。
评分超赞的好书，推荐给所有想要提升词汇量的educated adults。这本书最好结合作者亲自录制的24CD的音频资料同时学习。
评分4年前就开始听开始学，如今才真的算是读过。作者发音洁癖有微妙的萌点。这套mp3陪我过多少次天大遛弯，多少次跑步机上的放空，多少次晚睡和午睡。
评分在台湾诚品买的 当年英语六级磕磕巴巴过的 竟然敢挑战这本书 当然啦 没有坚持下去
评分Verbal Advantage的高明全在正文中的生词，而非条目中的500个。别人家的生词是一个一个地记，而VA家的是一坨一坨地记。
