Mark Forsyth: The Horologicon : A Day's Jaunt Through the Lost Words of the English Language


Description
Do you wake up feeling rough? Then you're philogrobolized. Find yourself pretending to work? That's fudgelling. And this could lead to rizzling, if you feel sleepy after lunch. Though you are sure to become a sparkling deipnosopbist by dinner. Just don't get too vinomadefied; a drunk dinner companion is never appreciated. The Horologicon (or book of hours) contains the most extraordinary words in the English language, arranged according to what hour of the day you might need them. From Mark Forsyth, the author of the #1 international bestseller, The Etymologicon, comes a book of weird words for familiar situations. From ante-jentacular to snudge by way of quafftide and wamblecropt, at last you can say, with utter accuracy, exactly what you mean.
But when an unexpected tragedy strikes the tight-knit Walker community, Shea s comfortable world is upended, and she begins to wonder if the life she s chosen is really enough for her. As she finally gives up her safety net to set out on an unexpected path, Shea discovers unsettling truths about the people and things she has always trusted most and is forced to confront her deepest desires, fears, and secrets. But then an unexpected visitor from Grier s past unsettles the entire town just when the residents were finally starting to warm to her. By the time Mick comes out of the clouds to realize he s fallen head over heels in love, it might be just too late to win Grier s heart." Step into Jean Haines' distinctive, exciting world of watercolour with this, the ultimate guide to her influences, style and work. Jean's loose, expressive paintings are filled with colour and personality, embracing a range of subjects that includes flowers, animals, people and places, all influenced by the countries and cities she's lived in and the people she's met during her life. This beautiful book contains easy-to-follow and inspiring introductory sections such as 'an artist's treasure chest' and 'the colour gym', offering practical guidance and in-depth exercises in an innovative and accessible way, and the numerous En Shadud : Salvage Excavations at a Farming Community in the Jezreel Valley, Israel free download pdf examples of Jean's work will inspire and encourage novice as well as experienced artists. After this introductory section, the book shows the reader how to put the skills they've learned into practice with gorgeous step-by-step projects packed full of expert tips and advice, encouraging them to move forward and develop their own style of working. Like her painting, Jean's writing is filled with passion and enthusiasm, transporting the reader through a world of watercolour that will not fail to excite and inspire.
