Is there any good reference book on how to use the right English word?

For example: poverty, indigence, penury, pauperism, destitution, poor… Is there a good reference book that can tell you the nuance among them and when to use which word?

Yes, it’s called a dictionary. I don’t mean to be obtuse, but if you learn how to use a dictionary correctly, it contains all the nuances you’ll ever need. Get yourself a good comprehensive dictionary, not one of these tiny pocket versions.
