Описание: Fact: In 1930, a paperhanger, my father, survived the depression years and obtained ten lots of Lake Freeman. Fact: Between the years 1931 and 1950, the seven cottages were built. Fact: Places like Monticello, Indiana Park, Lakes Freeman, and Shafer Lake were created by the construction of Oakdale and Norway dams. Fact: By driving south of Monticello and crossing a bridge over Lake Freeman and turning right, you would come to a subdivision called Sunset Park. There, you will find the seven cottages, and Cottages for Rent and No Vacancy signs. Fact: Croquet, badminton, basketball, and cards were played by relatives and friends. Fact: In 1951 the cottages were sold. Six of the seven cottages exist today. Fiction: The sheriff and deputies, MPD officers, district attorneys, and the judges of White and Fayette counties were characters created in the mind of the author. The real public officials are most assuredly upstanding citizens. Fiction: California Amusement Park was an outstanding attraction, but Lakeside Golf Course did not exist.

Описание: This collection of essays by leading Yiddish scholars seeks to recover the authentic voice and vision of the writer known to his Yiddish readers as Yitskhok Bashevis.
The New Age and New Thought movements have flatlined. Stunning scientific insights and uplifting spiritual information found in early break-through books and films have devolved into a smorgasbord of "feel good" social media memes and lookalike spiritual programs guaranteed to deliver overnight abundance, soulmates and enlightenment in easy 5-step workshops.
All You Need Is Love is a much-needed antidote, breathing substance back into hackneyed topics, from desirelessness to the wisdom of seeking enlightenment, from the existence of the soul to the wisdom of posting yet one more fluffy spiritual meme on Facebook.
Join us as 19 authorstell the tales of how they learned to go beyond pat sayings and shallow interpretations of spiritual beliefs as they struggled to find their way to greater and more meaningful lives.
Описание: In what may just be the most detailed, accurate and comprehensive book of its type ever published, Stanley J. St. Clair, author of On the Origin of the Clich s and Evolution of Idioms, delves deep into the history of phrases and common English expressions, exposing numerous misconceptions and incorrect previously published origins. By enlarging the page size, using smaller print, and removing the illustrations and humorous antidotes, St. Clair is able to include all of the entries in his two previous volumes and double the combined number in this remarkable work.Many of our common catchphrases are actually misquotes, often even attributed wrongly. Did you know that "Me Tarzan, you Jane" was never used in any Tarzan book or movie? Are you aware of the fact that "Elementary, my dear Watson" never appeared in any of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes novels? Then from where did these quotes originate? Did you know that "umpteenth time" was in use almost 100 years before top printed sources claim? Did you know that "God willing and the Creeks don't rise" originally had nothing to do with streams of water? Did you know that "How do you like them apples?" was not referring to the fruit, and that the date of its first appearance in print is often wrongly stated?Unlike most phrase dictionaries, in many cases this work not only gives the definition and most likely origin, but early citations as well. With entries as ancient as "By the skin of my teeth" to as new as "Kicking the can down the road," this comprehensive work is sure to appeal to seekers of truth everywhere. The author welcomes your comments. This is the first of three books in this series.

Описание: This work is full of things better left unsaid: hackneyed phrases, idioms battered into senselessness, infuriating Gallicisms, once-familiar quotations and tags from the ancient classics.
Описание: Volume III completes almost 10 years of extensive research into colloquial and figurative English. The series, Most Comprehensive Origins of Clich s, Proverbs and Figurative Expressions is on the cutting edge of research of both the origins and the continuing evolution of English sayings, idioms and expressions, delving back in time to determine the most probable way the expressions began, following their path through the changes of the ages, and noting current trends of changing connotations. It even recalls some phrases from the past which are now antiquated, while picking up on others which are so fresh that they have barely been introduced. Better than any other printed work available today, it expounds on each entry and gives detailed results on years of study of the English spoken and written jargon, not only in America, but in the U.K. and Australasia, as well as numerous foreign expressions commonly used by English speaking journalists, authors and the general public. These three volumes contain the largest work of its type in print today, and a separate index book is being released simultaneously to this volume tying them all together, giving fingertip access to well over 4,000 entries. It is truly a unique work, and will set a high bar for future work in this field. The previous volumes have been included in libraries across America, and have received rave reviews from teachers, ministers, newspaper reporters and many others. The original volume has been accepted for a reference for a Doctorate Degree at a major university and to teach English as a second language, as well as being a conversation piece while entertaining company.
