We love animals but insult humans by calling them everything from weasels or pigs to sheep, mice, chickens, sharks, snakes, and bird-brains. Animal epithets, words, and phrases are so widespread we often take them for granted or remain ignorant of the fascinating stories and facts behind them. Spanning the entire animal kingdom, Holy Cow! explains: Why hot dogs are named after canines. Why people talk turkey or go cold turkey. Why curiosity killed the cat, although dogs are more curious about us. Why letting the cat out of the bag originally referred to a duped shopper. What a horse of another color is, what horsefeathers politely alludes to, why a mule is a lady’s slipper, and what horseradish has to do with horses. Why the combination of humans and cows probably led to capitalism—its name from Latin for head, as in heads of cows. Why holy cow and sacred cow have almost opposite meanings. Whether people actually chewed the fat or ate crow (and why it’s a crowbar). How a hog became a motorcycle and a chick a young woman. What happens to freeze the balls off a brass monkey. What buck has to do with being naked. Why the birds and the bees. Why a piggy bank and why one feeds the kitty. What lame ducks have to do with U.S. presidents. How red herring came about via activists opposed to fox hunting. Where snake oil, popular in the 1800s and rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, came from. That the proverbial fly in the ointment goes back to the Bible’s Ecclesiastes (10:1). How Swiss watchmakers created teensy-weensy coaches for fleas to pull in flea circuses. And much—much!—more. Don't be a lame duck and get this book! |

Nouvelle édition revue et augmentée du best-seller de Tabou. Cet ouvrage est considéré par les spécialistes du sujet comme la bible du plaisir féminin et son auteur comme la papesse de l’éjaculation féminine ! Bien qu’aujourd’hui l’existence du point-G en tant que zone hautement érogène ne fasse plus aucun doute, rares sont les livres à en faire la démonstration. Avec cet ouvrage, Deborah Sundahl, précurseur de l’éveil sexuel féminin, ne se limite pas à définir le point-G, elle nous en dresse la carte de manière précise, pratique et amusante. Mais surtout, elle va bien plus loin en dévoilant un mystère encore plus grand : celui de l’éjaculation féminine. Sujet controversé, l’éjaculation féminine existe bel et bien et l’auteure se fait fort de vous le démontrer à travers cette nouvelle édition. Agrémenté de nouvelles techniques, informations et illustrations, ainsi que de liens vidéos, témoignages et interviews, ce guide est un indispensable, comme tous ceux de la collection « guide Tabou » ! Deborah SUNDHAL est une experte de la sexualité féminine. Elle n'est ni docteur en médecine, ni psychologue ou sexologue. Sa connaissance n'est pas issue des bancs de la faculté – et c'est là l'intérêt de son ouvrage – mais de son expérience personnelle, des groupes de travail sur la sexualité féminine qu'elle anime depuis presque 20 ans, lieux où elle a rencontré des centaines de femmes, de tous physique, âge, origine sociale ou culturelle… C'est du terrain qu'elle tire ses connaissances, qu'elle n'a pas hésité à confronter à la science pour en comprendre plus exhaustivement les rouages physiologiques. |

Without grammar, you can't say much; but without vocabulary, you can't say anything. Vocabulary is the foundation of successful language learning. ESL/EFL learners need to be familiar with a great many words if they want to read, write, listen, or speak with ease. In addition to the sheer number of words and phrases students need to learn, what makes vocabulary acquisition so tricky is that one “pass” is never enough. In order to really “know” a word, learners need to know, among other things, how to spell it, how to pronounce it, what other words it collocates with, what prefixes and suffixes it takes, what grammatical patterns it fits with, and what positive or negative associations it may have. Research shows that students learn the most easily when they are interested and having fun. Games and activities that engage students, whether they are adults or children, will help them create stronger memories and store these memories for longer. This book is divided into three sections: 1. Introducing new vocabulary 2. Reviewing and remembering vocabulary 3. Assessment opportunities and provides 50 ideas (plus one bonus tip!) for helping your students learn and remember vocabulary. Photos and downloadable worksheets are included. The "Fifty Ways to Teach" series gives you a variety of drills, games, techniques, methods, and ideas to help your students master English. Most of the ideas can be used for both beginning and advanced classes. Many require little to no preparation or special materials. The ideas can be used with any textbook, or without a textbook at all. These short, practical guides aim to make your teaching life easier, and your students' lives more rewarding and successful. |

Adjectives have long suffered from bad press. For many years, English teachers have been fond of telling students that "adjectives are the enemy of nouns, and adverbs are the enemy of everything else." While it's still advisable to heed your English teacher's advice on most other matters, The Highly Selective Dictionary of Golden Adjectives for the Extraordinarily Literate proves that breaking certain rules can make written and spoken language that much livelier, adding much-needed color, style, and adornment. With this addition to the popular Highly Selective series, the "golden" adjective, at last, gets the star treatment it deserves. From adventitious to zaftig, renowned lexicographer Eugene Ehrlich has collected more than 850 of the most interesting and engaging adjectives in the English language and has provided concise definitions and instructive usage examples. Whether you're a writer, a speaker, or a word buff, this compendious, trenchant, laudable, and all-around fantabulous volume will help you put panache back into your prose. |
