Slang Down the Ages

Coined in the spontaneity of the everyday spoken act, slang exists as a testament to human nature’s inventive and subversive instinct. This history of English slang documents the preoccupations of our nordic race and in particular, its verbal predilections for the racier side of life, at the expense of the more quotidian, let alone respectable.
Slang Down the Ages
tackles its subject theme by theme, taking standard English words and phrases and tracing the ingenuity of their slang equivalents over time, in each case approximating ‘earliest use’. Be amused by the playfulness of our linguistic heritage, intrigued by our need for encrypted signs and appalled by some of the more bold-faced puns, as Jonathon Green charts four centuries of our developing and ever-diversifying vocabulary.
A valuable work of reference for the writer and student of words, and a treat for the crossword-puzzle addict and compulsive browser.

"Collecting Rocks, Gems & Minerals" focuses on the areas of collecting, identifying and determining the worth of rocks, minerals and gemstones; how and where collectors can acquire them; and, what they can do with them once excavated. Whereas most rock books require the reader to have a background in geology to find the appropriate chapter, this title is organized by visual characteristics such as color, texture, crystal shape, etc., rather than by chemical composition. With 1,000 beautiful color pictures, readers can see the visual detail they need to identify their rocks.
