REFERENCE BOOK REVIEWS from Spring 2001
POSTED 11 JUNE 2001
"Insulting English"
Peter Novobatzky
...get it here.
Tired of Shakespearean insults? Bored with your old dirty-word
repertoire? Look no further than "Insulting English," a delightfully
vulgar little book full of offensive slang and awful words long
forgotten by anyone with social graces. Simon Winchester calls the
authors' previous book "delicious and disgusting," and you'll agree
when you discover the hideous meanings of terms like "ructuosity,"
"sterky," and "hyperemian."
"Oxford Dictionary of Difficult Words"
Archie Hobson
...get it here.
"The Oxford Dictionary of Difficult Words" is packed with
definitions, usage notes, and distinctions to help students and
professionals brush up on their vocabulary. Covering more than
10,000 tough words, this dictionary makes an excellent study guide
for anyone preparing to take a standardized test.
"Wan2Tlk?: Ltl Bk of Txt Msgs"
Gabrielle Mander
...get it here.
Love 'em or hate 'em, those little abbreviated text messages used
primarily in online chats and on cell phones are here to stay. Let
"Wan2Tlk?" be your guide to such scintillating conversational
tidbits as "YYSW" (which stands for "Yeah, yeah, sure, whatever...")
and "@>-;-" (symbolizes a rose). You'll also be privy to the
secrets of every type of smiley ever typed.
"Penguin International Dictionary of Contemporary Biography"
Edward Vernoff
...get it here.
A classic browser's delight, the "Penguin International Dictionary
of Contemporary Biography" (now available in a new edition) covers
more than 6,000 lives of 20th century notables.

"Barron's Mastering German"
...get it here.
If you are planning a European vacation this fall, now is the
perfect time to start learning a language. "Barron's Mastering
German" is one of the best language series we've run across.
Developed by the Foreign Service Institute, this language course
will have you saying, "Ein helles Bier, bitte" in time for
Oktoberfest.

FATHER'S DAY
Let's be honest: Have you ever seen your father wear that tie you
gave him last year? And does he really need another pair of socks?
This Father's Day, give your dad a break: send him an Amazon.com
gift certificate and let him choose exactly what he wants. He'll
love you for it!
...get it here.
"Times of London Concise Atlas"
Times of London
...get it here.
How often does one get to use the phrase "cartographic delight?" Too
seldom, in my estimation. So I was quite pleased to run across the
"Times of London Concise Atlas of the World." With its clear
presentation and layout, it is an asset to the student and the
professional alike.
"Censored 2001: 25 Years of Censored News and the Top Censored
Stories of the Year (Censored, 2001)"
Peter Phillips
...get it here.
It's enough to start making you suspect a vast conspiracy:
corporations trying to privatize water; secret facts about
bioengineered foods; workers put in harm's way by uncaring and
unregulated industries. "Censored 2001" brings you some of the most
incredible stories Big Business and the government would rather you
didn't know about.
"Why Won't the Landlord Take Visa?: The Princeton Review's Crash
Course to Life After Graduation"
Tara Bray
...get it here.
Sure, you were a standout in college. You got straight A's, made the
dean's list every year, and graduated magna cum laude. But out in
the real world, you definitely feel a few peas shy of a casserole.
All this real-life stuff is so overwhelming! The Princeton Review's
""Why Won't the Landlord Take Visa?"" will help you navigate all the
rocky shoals you were shielded from in school, from finding a job to
decorating your apartment.
PERENNIAL FAVORITES
"A Dictionary of Modern American Usage"
Bryan A. Garner
...get it here.
"A Dictionary of Modern American Usage," written by Bryan Garner
and published by Oxford University Press, could be the start of a
new movement, a brave new world in which people cheerfully polish
their prose, where participles rarely dangle and "less" is not
substituted incorrectly for "fewer." Garner, a lawyer and
lexicographer, has created a scholarly and readable masterpiece.
"The Dictionary of Imaginary Places"
Alberto Manguel
...get it here.
"The Dictionary of Imaginary Places" is best described as a
guidebook of the make-believe. A good way to understand what Alberto
Manguel and Gianni Guadalupi set out to do with their book is to
imagine that you want to travel to places such as Oz, Middle-earth,
and Narnia. Written with rich descriptions that bring places to
life, "The Dictionary of Imaginary Places" is a wonderful, magical
reference book perfect for fiction lovers.
