› Find signed collectible books: 'The Cambridge Encyclopedia'Book summary:Remarkably, the fourth edition of The Cambridge Encyclopedia manages to improve on its impressive predecessors. This is no small feat when you take a look at some of the reviews previous editions have garnered: The Daily Telegraph declared that "the essential facts are instantly available ... better written, more concise and intelligent"; the Independent on Sunday felt that it is "as comprehensive as a single-volume encyclopedia can hope to be"; Time Magazine wrote of "Thousands of enlightenments"; and the Mail on Sunday purred about "a superbly organised reference book."
The editorial content is clear and wastes no words. It manages to be accessible without over-simplifying, to a remarkable degree. Take the entry on Aesop as an example. After a pronunciation guide, we read:
"(?6th-c BC) Legendary Greek fabulist. He is supposed to have been a native of Phrygia and a slave who, after being set free, travelled to Greece. The fables attributed to him are anecdotes which use animals to make a moral point and are, in all probability, a compilation of tales from many sources. The stories were popularised by the Roman poet Phaedrus in the 1st-c AD, and rewritten in sophisticated verse by La Fontaine in 1668." There are cross-references to "fable; Greek Literature; La Fontaine; Phaedrus."
The same clarity and economy are maintained consistently throughout the whole vast tome. And it is massive: there are about 40,000 "separately identified people, places and topics" with thousands of those useful cross-references to link entries together, a 24-page colour atlas section, and 800 black and white illustrations to back up the text. The book really does succeed in its aim of being a standard reference for "home, school, library or office," useful for both adults and teenage students. --David Pickering [via]More editions of The Cambridge Encyclopedia:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Complete Illustrated Lewis Carroll'Book summary:Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) is famed for his magical stories, Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, here illustrated throughout the inner pages by Sir John Tenniel's much loved drawings. However, inspired by the insatiable Victorian appetite for party games, tricks and conundrums, this eccentric and polymathical Englishman also wrote many other works of a humorous, witty, whimsical and nonsensical nature such as the mock-heroic nonsense verse 'The Hunting of the Snark', as well as dozens of other verses, stories, acrostics and puzzles, all of which are included in this volume. Oxford scholar, Church of England Deacon, University Lecturer in Mathematics and Logic, academic author of learned theses, gifted pioneer of portrait photography, colourful writer of imaginative genius and yet a shy and pedantic man, Lewis Carroll stands pre-eminent in the pantheon of inventive literary geniuses.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Language Instinct'Book summary:In The Language Instinct , Steven Pinker, well-known for his revolutionary theory of how children acquire language, lucidly explains everything you always wanted to know about language: how it works, how children learn it, how it changes, how the brain computes it, how it evolved. With wit, education, and deft use of everyday examples of humor and wordplay, Pinker weaves our vast knowledge of language into a compelling story: language is a human instinct, wired into our brains by evolution like web spinning in spiders or sonar in bats.

Language Of The Third Reich: Lti, Lingua Tertii Imperii A Philologist's Notebookby Victor Klemperer, Martin BradyISBN 0826491308 (0-8264-9130-8)

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Language of the Third Reich: LTI -- Lingua Tertii Imperii A Philologist's Notebook'Book summary:Under the Third Reich, the official language of Nazism came to be used as a political tool. The existing social culture was manipulated and subverted as the German people had their ethical values and their thoughts about politics, history and daily life recast in a new language. This Notebook, translated by Martin Brady and originally called LTI (Lingua Tertii Imperii) - the abbreviation itself a parody of Nazified language - was written out of Klemperer's conviction that the language of the Third Reich helped to create its culture. As Klemperer writes: 'it isn't only Nazi actions that have to vanish, but also the Nazi cast of mind, the typical Nazi way of thinking, and its breeding ground: the language of Nazism.' This brilliant, entertaining, profound and ultimately saddening and horrifying book, is one of the great Twentieth-Century studies of language and of its engagement with history. [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Roget's International Thesaurus'Book summary:A classic reference book that has been used by millions all over the world, Roget's International Thesaurus is the product of more than a century and a half of continuous expansion, reorganization, and improvement. Today, this book is not only the most time-tested and bestselling thesaurus ever, but, newly revised, it is also the most up-to-dateand comprehensive reflection of theEnglish language as it is currently used.
The revolutionary achievement of Dr. Peter Mark Roget's first edition in 1852 was the development of a brand-new principle: the arrangement of words and phrases according to their meanings. Dr. Roget's system brings together in one place all the terms associated with a single thought or concept; it allows a wide-ranging survey of language within a book of relatively modest size, without the space-consuming repetitions that so severely limit the scope of thesauruses arranged in a dictionary format with A-to-Z entries. This brilliant organization makes Roget's International Thesaurus both the most efficient word finder and a cutting-edge aid in stimulating thought, organizing ideas, and writing and speaking more clearly and effectively.
This revised and updated sixth edition features thousands of new words and phrases, including the newest slang words and expressions that color and inform everyday language. At the same time, it retains all of the hallmarks that have made Roget's international Thesaurus an enduring classic:
- More than 330,000 words and phrases organized into 1,075 categories.
- A pinpoint reference system that directs the user quickly from a comprehensive index to the numbered category of the right word. Thousands of cross-references throughout lead to other helpful categories.
- Hundreds of supplemental word lists that supply the names of things which have no synonyms (measurements, wines, weapons, animals, state mottoes, and more) as well as hundreds of quotations that amplify the meanings of selected words.
Generations of students, writers, editors, and speakers have made Roget's the most popular word reference book next to the dictionary. Continuing a legacy that dates back more than 150 years, Roget's International Thesaurus is an indispensable work for everyone who wants to use the English language with clarity and precision.

Tractatus Logico-Philosophicusby Ludwig WittgensteinISBN 1419190725 (1-4191-9072-5)
Softcover, Kessinger Pub Co
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Tractatus Logico: Philosophicus'Book summary:Webster's edition of this classic is organized to expose the reader to a maximum number of synonyms and antonyms for difficult and often ambiguous English words that are encountered in other works of literature, conversation, or academic examinations. Extremely rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions are given lower priority in the notes compared to words which are ¿difficult, and often encountered¿ in examinations. Rather than supply a single synonym, many are provided for a variety of meanings, allowing readers to better grasp the ambiguity of the English language, and avoid using the notes as a pure crutch. Having the reader decipher a word's meaning within context serves to improve vocabulary retention and understanding. Each page covers words not already highlighted on previous pages. If a difficult word is not noted on a page, chances are that it has been highlighted on a previous page. A more complete thesaurus is supplied at the end of the book; synonyms and antonyms are extracted from Webster's Online Dictionary.

Der Dativ Ist Dem Genitiv Sein Tod: Ein Wegweiser Durch Den Irrgarten Der Deutschen Spracheby Bastian SickISBN 3462034480 (3-462-03448-0)
Softcover, Kiepenheuer & Witsch

› Find signed collectible books: 'Der Dativ Ist Dem Genitiv Sein Tod: Ein Wegweiser Durch Den Irrgarten Der Deutschen Sprache'Book summary:Die deutsche Sprache liegt uns offensichtlich fast allen am Herzen, wie man an der ebenso endlosen wie hitzigen Debatte über die Rechtschreibreform erkennen kann. Einerseits. Andererseits ist leider ein oft unbedachter und liebloser Umgang mit ihr zu beklagen. Die Sprache kann sich ja nicht wehren, nicht einmal gegen schlimmste Vergewaltigungen -- man denke nur an den brutalstmöglichen Sprachschrott unserer Politiker. So etwas wie eine Sprachpolizei bräuchte man, die freundlich aber bestimmt auf Vergehen hinweist und Bußgelder verhängt. Freundliche Hinweise bekommt man auch im Zwiebelfisch, der Sprachkolumne, die Bastian Sick seit über einem Jahr wöchentlich für Spiegel-Online schreibt. Kaum zu glauben, dass man über Phänomene wie Fugen-s, unregelmäßige Verben oder sich epidemisch ausbreitende Suffixe so unterhaltsame Texte schreiben kann. Bastian Sick ist Entertainer und Oberlehrer in einer Person, wobei er letzteren vor allem in tabellarischen Zusammenfassungen am Ende seiner Kolumnen auslebt. Dabei ist das doch wohl der Idealfall eines Sachbuchs: wo man lachen und schmunzeln und gleichzeitig jede Menge lernen kann. Zum Beispiel, wo das Eszett seinen Namen herhat und warum die Deutschen als einzige diesen wunderlichen Buchstaben benutzen. Oder wie man eingebürgerte Fremdwörter konjugiert -- warum es zwar ich recycle heißt, aber nicht du recyclest . Und auf die verzwickte Frage, ob gedownloadet oder downgeloadet richtig ist -- wer hätte sich das noch nie überlegt --, weiß Sick die verblüffend einfache Antwort: Weder noch, es heißt heruntergeladen . Und wieso der Zwiebelfisch ausgerechnet Zwiebelfisch heißt, erfährt man naturgemäß auch. Der Dativ ist dem Genitiv sein Tod bietet 47-mal charmante Aha- und Haha-Erlebnisse und ist jedem Sprach-User heißestens zu empfehlen. --Christian Stahl [via]

Der Dativ Ist Dem Genitiv Sein Tod, Folge 2: Neues Aus Dem Irrgarten Der Deutschen Sprache ; [die Zwiebelfisch-Kolumnen Spiegel-Online]by Bastian SickISBN 3462036068 (3-462-03606-8)

› Find signed collectible books: 'Der Dativ Ist Dem Genitiv Sein Tod, Folge 2: Neues Aus Dem Irrgarten Der Deutschen Sprache ; [die Zwiebelfisch-Kolumnen Spiegel-Online]'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]

Duden: Die Deutsche Rechtschreibungby Dudenredaktion (Bibliographisches Institut)ISBN 3411040122 (3-411-04012-2)
Hardcover, Dudenverlag
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Duden: Die Deutsche Rechtschreibung'Book summary:Ganz im sommerlich gelben Outfit präsentiert sich der aktuelle Duden zur neuen Rechtschreibung. In dieser 22., völlig neu bearbeiteten Auflage sind alle neuen Rechtschreibregeln verbindlich zusammengefasst. Zudem haben es 5.000 neue Wörter geschafft, Einzug in das Standardwerk zu halten -- von "aufbrezeln" über "Bimbes" und "Maschendrahtzaun" bis hin zum "Warmduscher".
Der Duden 2000 verzeichnet alle neuen und alle herkömmlichen Schreib- und Trennweisen eines Wortes und informiert somit umfassend über den heutigen Stand der deutschen Rechtschreibung. Um das Nachschlagen und damit den Umstieg auf die neuen Regeln zu erleichtern, wurde das gesamte Lay-out des Innenteils verbessert. Allen voran bieten die 300 farbig hervorgehobenen Infokästen zu Stichwörtern, deren Schreibung und korrekter Gebrauch besondere Schwierigkeiten bereiten, eine gute Übersicht.
Informativ und gut verständlich ist auch der einleitende Teil "Rechtschreibung und Zeichensetzung". Die Regeln sind nach Themen wie Apostroph oder Bindestrich geordnet und farbig unterlegt. Ausführliche Beispiele zu den einzelnen Regeln helfen dabei, Unsicherheiten zu beseitigen. Somit ist der Duden 2000 mit seinen insgesamt 120.000 Stichwörtern und den über 500.000 Beispielen ein sehr vielseitiges deutsches Wörterbuch, das alle Fragen der sprachlichen Alltagspraxis beantwortet. Und der gelbe Klassiker ist auch mit CD-ROM erhältlich. --Bettina Wenzel und Herwig Slezak [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Lonely Planet Spanish Phrasebook'Book summary:Unlike most travel phrasebooks, you can tell right off that Lonely Planet's was created by people who travel. Unwieldy sentences such as "I wonder, where is the post office?" have been replaced by pragmatic life-savers. The Dating & Romance section provides pickup lines ("Would you like a drink?" "Do you have a light?" "Can I take you home?") and rejections ("I'd rather not." "I'm here with my boyfriend/girlfriend." "Stop hassling me." and "Get lost!"). The menu decoder is invaluable, as are the chapters on finding a room, talking politics, hiking, shopping, music, and bullfights. The phrases reflect day-to-day life and normal conversation--the sort you wish you could make when traveling. With distinctions between Basque, Catalan, and Galician, plus a mini-English-Spanish, Spanish-English dictionary, this is an elegantly arranged Spanish phrasebook, perhaps the best on the market.
