From the publisher: "Ever need a fact or quotation relating to hang and rattle? Designed for speechwriters, journalists, writers, researchers, students, professors, teachers, historians, academics, scrapbookers, trivia buffs and word lovers, this book represents the largest compilation of anything relating to 'hang and rattle,' with a linguistic emphasis on non-conventional usage and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities. The entries cover all parts of speech (noun, verb, adverb or adjective usage) as well as use in modern slang, pop culture, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This 'data dump' results in many unexpected examples for hang and rattle, since the editorial decision to include or exclude terms is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under 'fair use' conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. Proceeds from this book are used to expand the content and coverage of Webster's Online Dictionary." Keywords: Dictionaries. First Edition in book form. Softcover. Fine condition.

A selection of James Thurber's classic essays from 'The New Yorker' magazine. Strange, sometimes awful humans and highly individual animals which constitute an easily recognised Thurber type. Excellent selection, for the perfect combination of drawing and caption, for presentation of Thurber's preoccupation with male and female antagonisms, psyches, social gestures, and his creation of extremely appealing dogs. James Grover Thurber (1894-1961), was an American cartoonist, author, humourist, journalist, playwright, and celebrated wit. Jacket and illustrations by the author (illustrator).…
