Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. Scarce hardcover, xi + 158 pages, numerous b&w and colour images and photos in text, NOT ex-library. Fine condition, book is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. In a likewise dust jacket. -- This book was ins…pired by the author's desire to counteract - with individual stories and historical facts, rather than polemics - the negative, simplistic caricature of the United States and Americans so prevalent today in Europe. Through research into her own family's diverse European background, she shows in detail how immigrants both influenced America and were influenced by it. The stories she tells about them and the historical facts she relates provide a fascinating, sometimes surprising view of their and their descendants' lives and of the many-sided new country in which they found themselves. The picture that emerges is of a nation indebted in myriad ways to the old countries, but still - inevitably - distinct. -- Contents: A Gutsy New Englander; A Businessman and a Gentleman; A Daughter of Maine; Beyond the Pale; Out of Prussia; A Tale of Two Photographs; New Mexican Days; Hitler's Gift to America; Appendix A [19th-century letters sent from East Cambridge, MA to Edinburgh, Scotland]; Appendix B [description of the wedding of the Author's great-grandparents Charlotte Thorndike Sibley and Henry Hoyt Hilton on October 6, 1897 in Belfast, Maine from Belfast's Republican Journal]; Selected Bibliography.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Have you ever wondered who the Davy Jones was in "Davy Jones's locker" or why a celebrity with a short-lived career is called a "flash in the pan"? Have you ever asked yourself how "heebie-jeebies" came to mean "the creeps" or why things that are "OK" are also "hunky-dory"? If so, you will…be intrigued by "The Devil in the Details: The Unexpected Origins of Weird English Words," an etymology book that manages to be both careful, accurate and thorough AND accessible, personal and fun. To author Emily Berns Heyser, uncovering the origins of an odd word or expression is something like solving a mystery or finding a hidden treasure. While preparing her entries, Heyser tracked down scores of primary sources and personally checked numerous old publications, including early dictionaries. After researching the theories behind a broad range of odd terms and expressions, she filters out the more risible and presents the more plausible in a lively manner, offering her own reasoned opinion about the evidence. She also provides context for each entry-and, in so doing, makes a larger point about the English language's acquisitive, adaptive and inventive nature. Most importantly, "The Devil in the Details" reminds people that words tell stories and contain whole worlds of information. In fact, the weird words and expressions we use so naturally are living, breathing documents, recording both the intricate paths of human history and the sometimes-unpredictable ways human beings think.
