NTC's Dictionary of Russian Cognates Thematically Organized (2000), the most recent cognate compendium by Rose Nash, is at once the most complete and most useful work in its field.

Advertised as a vocabulary builder, the book has special relevance for English-Russian translators. The number of cognates is extraordinary 264 double-columed pages and the organization by themes is very easy to follow through an alphabetical listing of topics. Entries are alphabetically listed, in English, under subtopics, so items can be found quickly.

Nash's Introduction is excellent. The student-oriented orthographic and phonologic description of the Cyrillic alphabet is lucid and thorough. The sections on the nature of cognates and their use in translation are applicable to any language context.

The book is available only in paerback. This keeps the cost down but magnifies wear and tear on books subject to a lot of handling.
