Scapegoats, Shambles and Shibboleths: The Queen's English from the King James Bible
Автор: Martin H. Manser Жанр: Daedalus Books Год: 2009 Страниц: 272 Дата загрузки: 28 июля 20102010-12-07

'The fruit of his labours', Martin Manser's, SCAPEGOATS, SHAMBLES AND SHIBBOLETHS is a delightful book for all who adore the English language. 'In the twinkling of an eye' we learn that many of our most familiar phrases are taken straight from the King James Version of the Bible. Far from being 'holier than thou', it seems we quote from the Bible without even realising! Martin Manser explains in detail what it is to be 'the apple of someone's eye'! 'No modern physiology book would put it like this, but in the past the pupil of the eye was referred to as "the apple" After all, it was shaped like one. In addition, because it was recognised to be the most important part of the eye it was a symbol for all things precious. The most valuable part of a highly valued organ of the body. Dotted around the Bible the phrase therefore represents anything that is of great worth — whether it is the law of God in Proverbs 7 v 2, the people of Israel found and nurtured in the desert or as an individual on the receiving end of divine care.' A quirky present, SCAPEGOATS SHAMBLES AND SHIBBOLETHS will amuse and entertain as well as shed a thought-provoking light on the background to our rich and varied language.

Delve into the hidden nature of words: An irresistible mix of information, curiosity, and fun Linguist Vivian Cook takes us on a brilliant series of excursions into the history and meaning of words: How do we learn words as a child? How are words born, and why do they die? Why do some never get spoken, and others never written? Each chapter is charmingly illustrated — and accompanied by a rich assortment of games, lists, puzzles, and quotes. From polite words to crass words, from p-c words to Shakespeare's words, from food and wine words to jazz and drug words — the book is an exciting exploration into the abundance and variety of words.

Moscow: City, Spectacle, Capital of Photography
Автор: Michustina Nadia Жанр: Daedalus Books Дата загрузки: 7 декабря 20092002-12-07

«Informal, candid, and decidedly modern, «street photography» has often been associated with Paris and New York City, but Moscow has a long tradition of it as well. With 34 black and white photographs by such photographers as Aleksandr Rodchenko, Vladimir Kupriyanov, and Anatolii Boldin, these images span the 20th century. The photos depict a diverse nation that has always been nonconformist at heart: a woman in a bonnet carefully handles a munitions shell in a factory; a comically disheveled shoe shiner smokes a cigarette in front of his shop; and a model stands on a rooftop, draped in the Soviet flag.»

Classic Fairy Tales
Автор: Various Жанр: Daedalus Books Год: 2012 Дата загрузки: 7 декабря 20142013-12-07

|
This boxed set collects five classic fairy tales, creatively told and beautifully illustrated, for all ages. Former British Children's Laureate Michael Morpurgo lends wonderful detail and color to Hansel and Gretel and The Pied Piper of Hamelin, both illustrated in Emma Chichester Clark's expressive and detailed watercolor cartoons. Niamh Sharkey imagines Cinderella in caricatures of colored pencil and paint, while Max Eilenberg's winking text is full of sound effects and asides. For Beauty and the Beast, however, he gives the tale the gravity it requires, while Angela Barrett's haunting drawings depict a world made of magic. And Naomi Lewis's The Snow Queen is more a translation than a retelling, capturing the nuances of the original Hans Christian Andersen masterpiece, and is gorgeously illustrated with Christian Birmingham's lush and striking paintings.

The Seldon Plan even accounted for war between the Foundation-the library of all knowledge, intended to help humanity survive the catastrophe-and the remnants of the Empire. But Seldon could not have imagined the rise of the mutant superbeing known as the Mule, whose conquests are effortless and whose subjects are mind-controlled slaves.

Dilbert: A Treasury of Sunday Strips
Автор: Adams Scott Жанр: Daedalus Books Год: 2000 Страниц: 224 Дата загрузки: 07 апреля 20092002-07-28

«Everyone who's in business, works for a business, or even just gives others the business is amazed: Scott Adams never lacks for yet another way to lampoon the corporate world. It's not that Adams is anti-business. He's more anti-bad boss than anything. But poor management practices, the effects of bad decisions, and what it all means for the average worker add up to more comedic material than even the man who created Dilbert can tame. Since Dilbert was first syndicated in 1989, Adams has built a following that would be the envy of any corporate sales and marketing team. His work not only generates howls from readers as they rush to plaster it on lunch-room refrigerators and scan it into interoffice e-mails, it has those same fans reading about «their» workplaces every Sunday in a multiple-panel, color format. And that's what this treasury, The Collected Dilbert Sundays, provides. This collection offers yet another glimpse into the zany life of Dilbert, Dogbert, Ratbert, and the rest of the crazy cube crew through the masterpiece Sunday comics. Here's even more of the great Adams's irony, sarcasm, and satire that so many have come to depend upon to cope with the corporate workplace. The Collected Dilbert Sundays humorously continues the tradition of poking fun at the world of business from which we all seek to temporarily escape.»
