Book summary:
The original, Aristotle's short study of storytelling, written in the fourth century B.C., is the world's first critical book about the laws of literature. Sure, it's 2400 years old, but Aristotle's discussions--Unity of Plot, Reversal of the Situation, Character--though written in the context of ancient Greek Tragedy, Comedy and Epic Poetry, still apply to our modern literary forms. The book is quite short, and Aristotle illuminates his points with clear examples, making the Poetics perfectly readable, the better to impress people at parties when you say, "Of course, as Aristotle says..."

Book summary:
Maps tell stories without words, and as geographic information technology evolves these stories are becoming increasingly complex, intricate, and extraordinarily detailed.
In the thirty years since its inception, GIS has proven itself to be something altogether different from simply a map-making tool. GIS identifies patterns and relationships that can elude the naked eye, reveal trends in agricultural and natural resource management, foster clear, sound environmental conservation, enhance logistical planning, make customer service efficient and effective, and rejuvenate problem-solving from one end of an enterprise to the other. It saves money and time, increases productivity, and generates revenue.
The ESRI Map Book: Applications of Geographic Information Systems Volume 15 is a compilation of some of the best digital maps produced in 1999. These contributions from individual GIS users around the world show how the digital revolution is fueling an explosion of quality spatial data.
The stories of these maps cover more than 20 industry sectors from government to geology to health care to transportation. They include:
-Understanding wetlands depletion
-Tracking ground water contamination
-Reducing juvenile crime
-Preparing for natural disasters
-Determining biodiversity protection plans
-Designing telecommunications networks
Descriptive text accompanies each full-color map, telling how the maps were produced or used. Published annually since 1984, the ESRI Map Book is the only publication dedicated to celebrating the important and innovative mapping achievements of GIS people around the world. [via]

Das "Griechisch-deutsche Wörterbuch zu den Schriften des Neuen Testaments und der frühchristlichen Literatur" gehört zu den Standardwerken der Neutestamentler, Patristiker und klassischen Philologen. Die 6. Auflage ist in allen Bereichen neu bearbeitet: in der neutestamentlichen Textgrundlage (auch, was ihre Vollständigkeit und die Angabe von Varianten angeht) wie in bezug auf die Apostolischen Väter wie die neutestamentlichen Apokryphen (diese sind zum ersten Mal so vollständig wie möglich eingearbeitet). Auch die Apologeten und die Kirchenväter der Frühzeit werden sehr viel häufiger als bisher zitiert. Zahlreiche Autoren aus dem christlichen, dem intertestamentarischen und dem klassischen Bereich sind zum ersten Mal herangezogen worden. Über 250 neue Artikel sind aufgenommen worden. Die neue Typographie läßt den Benutzer rascher finden, was er sucht, und macht den Aufbau der Artikel durchsichtiger. Durch sie wurde es möglich, etwa ein Drittel neues Material aufzunehmen, ohne daß die Seitenzahl des Wörterbuchs anwuchs. [via]

Book summary:
The choice of vocabulary and grammar, in this book, is essentially an introduction to the prose, not the poetical language. Generous use of transliteration is meant to serve three purposes: it enables the reader to perceive Hebrew as a language and not an exercise in decipherment, it removes the obstacles to mastering innumerable pages of abstract phonological and orthographic details, and facilitate the memorization of the paradigms.

Book summary:
This best-selling German text is based on the Natural Approach, pioneered by Tracy D. Terrell. Students learn German through communicative contexts with an emphasis on the four skills and cultural competence, with grammar functioning as an aid to language learning and not an end in itself. In the Natural Approach, students develop language in stages, with the comprehension stage preceding the production stage. For that reason, Kontakte focuses first on the receptive skills (listening and reading) before asking students to produce the language (speaking and writing). [via]

Book summary:
This is the most mesmerizing book on wordplay to come along in years. Ross Eckler examines such eternal logological favorites as anagrams, palindromes, and word squares, as well as words that play in other ways. Here are words with all letters in alphabetical order, novels written without the letter "e," and dozens of ways to transform one word into another. Take "heathery," for example. How many times can you delete one letter and have a new word remaining? Or consider "add." What happens when you shift each letter one place down the alphabet? How about eight places? If you love words, this masterpiece is irresistible. [via]

Book summary:
Moral Politics takes a fresh look at how we think and talk about political and moral ideas. George Lakoff analyzed recent political discussion to find that the familyespecially the ideal familyis the most powerful metaphor in politics today. Revealing how family-based moral values determine views on diverse issues as crime, gun control, taxation, social programs, and the environment, George Lakoff looks at how conservatives and liberals link morality to politics through the concept of family and how these ideals diverge. Arguing that conservatives have exploited the connection between morality, the family, and politics, while liberals have failed to recognized it, Lakoff explains why conservative moral position has not been effectively challenged. A wake up call to political pundits on both the left and the right, this work redefines how Americans think and talk about politics.

Book summary:
Nigger is Harvard law professor Randall Kennedy's ornate, lively monograph on what he calls the "paradigmatic" racial slur in the English language. A neutral noun in the 17th century, nigger had, by 1830, become an "influential" insult. Kennedy traces the word's history in literature, song, film, politics, sports, everyday speech, and the courtroom. He also discusses its plastic, contradictory, and volatile place in contemporary American society. Should it be eradicated from dictionaries and the language? Should it be, somehow, regulated? What is the significance of its emergence among some blacks as a term with "undertones of warmth and good will"? Do blacks have a historical right to its use or does that place the term under a "protectionist pall"? With courage and grave measure Kennedy has, in effect, created a forum for discussion of the word he calls a "reminder of the ironies and dilemmas, the tragedies and glories, of the American experience." --H. O'Billovitch [via]

ox-y-mor-on-i-ca (OK-se-mor-ON-uh-ca) noun, plural: Any variety of tantalizing, self-contradictory statements or observations that on the surface appear false or illogical, but at a deeper level are true, often profoundly true. See also oxymoron, paradox.examples:"Melancholy is the pleasure of being sad."Victor Hugo"To lead the people, walk behind them." Lao-tzu"You'd be surprised how much it coststo look this cheap."Dolly PartonYou won't find the word "oxymoronica" in any dictionary (at least not yet) because Dr. Mardy Grothe introduces it to readers in this delightful collection of 1,400 of the most provocative quotations of all time. From ancient thinkers like Confucius, Aristotle, and Saint Augustine to great writers like Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde, and G. B. Shaw to modern social observers like Woody Allen and Lily Tomlin, Oxymoronica celebrates the power and beauty of paradoxical thinking. All areas of human activity are explored, including love, sex and romance, politics, the arts, the literary life, and, of course, marriage and family life. The wise and witty observations in this book are as highly entertaining as they are intellectually nourishing and are sure to grab the attention of language lovers everywhere. [via]

Book summary:
The plot is the source and the soul of tragedy

In his near-contemporary account of Greek tragedy, Aristotle examines the dramatic elements of plot, character, language and spectacle that combine to produce pity and fear in the audience, and asks why we derive pleasure from this apparently painful process. Taking examples from the plays of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides, the Poetics introduces into literary criticism such central concepts as mimesis (imitation), hamartia (error), and katharsis (purification). Aristotle explains how the most effective tragedies rely on complication and resolution, recognition and reversals, centring on characters of heroic stature, idealized yet true to life. One of the most powerful, perceptive and influential works of criticism in Western literary history, the Poetics has informed serious thinking about drama ever since.

Malcolm Heaths lucid English translation makes the Poetics fully accessible to the modern reader. It is accompanied by an extended introduction, which discusses the key concepts in detail and includes suggestions for further reading.

Book summary:
Language, wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson, is fossil poetry. It is also fossil history, and when we examine the origins of words we learn a great deal about the people who coined and used them. In this fascinating compendium of American English words, lexicographers Stuart Berg Flexner and Anne Soukhanov examine, among other things, the language of prohibition and the Jazz Age, the origins of 19th-century words such as "undertaker" and "blizzard," and the enduring lingo of hippiedom. You'll also learn that the term "abolition" was originally applied to tax resistance against the English crown, and that the first known American folk song concerned a snakebite. [via]

Book summary:
Do you find the errors on a menu before the waiter has a chance to recite the specials? Is "Your call will be answered in the order in which it was received" as grating to you as fingernails on a blackboard? Would you cringe if an advertisement for your child's school promised a "low teacher-to-student ratio"? If so, Barbara Wallraff's Word Court is a book without which you cannot live. For seasoned wordsmiths, books about language can entertain; on occasion they may also enlighten. But rare is the book such as this that can teach an old pro so many new tricks, and in such a delightful manner. If you are a reader of Wallraff's "Word Court" column for The Atlantic Monthly, you will have already seen much of what is included here. If not, caveat lector: Though there is an index, this book is arranged in such a way that one may well find oneself reading the proverbial "one more page" long into the night.
"What I know about language," says Wallraff, "derives chiefly from my having edited, line by line and word by word, other people's writing over the past two decades." In Word Court, Wallraff addresses changes in the language, questions of grammar, issues concerning specific words and phrases, and a bunch of other, uncategorizable linguistic concerns. She recommends rewriting in order to avoid problems ("recast, recast"), treading carefully when you don't want controversial word use to obscure your point, and forgiving significant others "for any lapse of grammar committed in a bathrobe, before the coffee is ready." This book is delicious. And I'll bet your first-edition Fowler that Wallraff even introduces a few issues you may never have considered (perhaps the exceptional which, "picnic's grandmother" constructions, or those rare instances in which a sentence's two grammatically independent clauses should not--I repeat, not--be separated by a comma). --Jane Steinberg [via]

Book summary:
Geared toward travelers and businesspeople rather than students, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Learning French on Your Own combines many of the functions of a dictionary, phrase book, tour guide, and grammar handbook into one. The emphasis here is on practical considerations. Important grammatical points get tied into real-world situations such as getting a haircut or buying a dress, making it easy to remember subjects as abstruse as reflexive pronouns and irregular verbs. Vocabulary, grammar, and accompanying exercises come paired with "cultural tidbits" to help travelers decipher the intricacies of French language, cuisine, and institutions. One cautionary note: although this book bills itself as an idiot-proof guide to "Learning French On Your Own" and features a comprehensive pronunciation guide, it's best to round out your education with an audiotape or a few sessions with a native speaker, lest you come out sounding like, well, an idiot.

Book summary:
Das Foto auf der Rückseite zeigt einen wie ein Honigkuchenpferd grinsenden Autor. Kein Wunder. Wurden von Der Dativ ist dem Genitiv sein Tod doch schon eine Million Exemplare verkauft. Bastian Sick präsentiert nun eine zweite Auswahl seiner so erfolgreichen Zwiebelfisch-Kolumnen, die der ersten in nichts nachsteht. Und man gönnt ihm diese ostentative Fröhlichkeit auch deshalb, weil der Leser bei der Lektüre auch selbst reichlich Gelegenheit zum Schmunzeln und Lachen bekommt. Zum Beispiel über die hier versammelten "Katastrophen mit Apostrophen" oder dialektale Besonderheiten wie etwa die rheinische Verlaufsform: "Dat Chantal ist sich die Haare am Föhnen". Oder die zunehmende Begeisterung auf öffentlichen Schildern für Anführungszeichen. Da kann der Schuss leicht nach hinten losgehen, wenn etwa eine Fluglinie verlautbart: Wir wünschen Ihnen einen "guten Flug". Und natürlich freut man sich auch, wenn Oberlehrer Sick, solchen Sprachverhunzern auf die Füße tritt. Etwa der ärgerlich falsche Gebrauch der Vorsilbe Ex: Wie oft hat man nicht von in der Ex-DDR geborenen Menschen lesen müssen.
Folge 2 der Kolumnensammlung bietet sogar noch mehr Abwechslung: Eingestreut sind diesmal Fragen von Lesern, die Sick auf kurzweilige Art beantwortet. Zum Beispiel ob neben der Torschlusspanik auch die immer wieder gehörte "Torschusspanik" sprichwörtlich ist. Wie man "doof" steigert oder ob der Ausdruck "etwas türken" mit den Türken zu tun hat und deshalb als diskriminierend abzulehnen sei. Mit der Sprachkultur in E-Mails beschäftigt sich sogar ein längerer Text, und am Ende des Buches wartet ein kleiner Deutschtest: "60 Fragen aus dem Fundus der Irrungen und Verwirrungen unseres Sprachalltags". Für wahre Zwiebelfisch-Fans fast ein Kinderspiel.
Ich habe in Bastian Sicks unterhaltsamer Deutschklasse auch wieder einiges gelernt. Zum Beispiel, dass das vielbenutzte "ausgepowert" eigentlich aus dem Französischen (von "pauvre") stammt. Und endlich hat mir jemand erklärt, was die Abkürzung "lol" bedeutet, die zu viele E-Mails verunziert. "Laugh out loud" -- andererseits eine gute Empfehlung an alle Leser dieses Buches. --Christian Stahl [via]
