a smorgasbord of surprising, obscure, and exotic words. in this delightful encore to the national bestseller "a word a day", anu garg, the founder of the wildly popular a word a day web site (wordsmith.org), presents an all-new collection of unusual, intriguing words and real-life anecdotes that will thrill writers, scholars, and word buffs everywhere. "another word a day" celebrates the english language in all its quirkiness, grandeur, and fun, and features new chapters ranging from "words formed erroneously" and "red-herring words" to "kangaroo words," "discover the theme," and "what does that company name mean?" in them, you'll find a treasure trove of curious and compelling words, including agelast, dragoman, mittimus, nyctalopia, quacksalver, scission, tattersall, and zugzwang. each entry includes a concise definition, etymology, and usage example, interspersed with illuminating quotations. praise for a word a day "anu garg's many readers await their a word a day rations hungrily. now at last here's a feast for them and other verbivores. eat up!" - barbara wallraff, senior editor at the atlantic monthly and author of "word court" "awadies will be familiar with anu garg's refreshing approach to words: words are fun and they have fascinating histories." - john simpson, chief editor, 'oxford english dictionary'. show more (1)
samuel beckett's geological imagination addresses the ubiquity of earthy objects in beckett's prose, drama and poetry, exploring how mineral and archaeological objects bear upon the themes, narrative locus, and sensibilities of beckett's texts in surprisingly varied ways. by deploying figures of ruination and excavation with etymological self-awareness, beckett's late prose narratives – company, ill seen ill said, and worstward ho – comprise a late-career meditation on the stratigraphic layerings of language and memory over an extended writing career. these layers comprise an embodied record of writing in their allusions to literary history and to beckett's own oeuvre (1)
