Download or read book Cheap written by Ellen Ruppel Shell and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2009-07-02 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A myth-shattering investigation of the true cost of America's passion for finding a better bargain From the shuttered factories of the Rust Belt to the strip malls of the Sun Belt-and almost everywhere in between-America has been transformed by its relentless fixation on low price. This pervasive yet little- examined obsession with bargains is arguably the most powerful and devastating market force of our time, having fueled an excess of consumerism that blights our landscapes, escalates personal debt, lowers our standard of living, and even skews of our concept of time. Spotlighting the peculiar forces that drove Americans away from quality, durability, and craftsmanship and towards quantity, quantity, and more quantity, Ellen Ruppel Shell traces the rise of the bargain through our current big-box profusion to expose the astronomically high cost of cheap.

Book Synopsis Black Sheep and Lame Ducks by : Albert Jack
Download or read book Black Sheep and Lame Ducks written by Albert Jack and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2010-05-04 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fun and fascinating follow-up to the international bestseller Red Herrings and White Elephants Why do people put their "skeletons in a closet," "have a hunch," "get the cold shoulder," "get dressed up to the nines," or "call a spade a spade?" These phrases are used every day, yet most people have little or no idea where most of them come from. In Black Sheep and Lame Ducks, Albert Jack takes readers on a journey through the curious- and often bizarre-origins of hundreds of their favorite idioms and expressions. For example, "wearing your heart on your sleeve" comes from the Middle Ages, when a lady would "give her heart" in the form of a handkerchief pinned to the sleeve of a knight who was about to go into battle. And calling someone the "black sheep in the family" refers to a thousands- year-old belief that a black lamb in a flock was unpopular because its fleece was undyeable and therefore less valuable. With Black Sheep and Lame Ducks, any language-lover can feel like a "Smart Aleck"-and also know exactly who that was.

Book Synopsis A Survival Guide to British Catchphrases by : Paul S Shaw
Download or read book A Survival Guide to British Catchphrases written by Paul S Shaw and published by Paul Shaw Publications. This book was released on 2020-09-05 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So how exactly has the English Language grown over the years? And how many people speak English today? In 2006 it was believed that there were some 400 million native speakers of English and a further 400 million people who use English as the second language. Despite this many local dialects and catchphrases have divided the language so much so that to some English speakers, the language is still confusing. With catchphrases being used so naturally in some quarters, that will seem incomprehensible to others. Many catchphrases are from a local dialect and others are steeped in history. The British use catchphrases without thinking and it is generally assumed that others will ‘get the gist’ and fully understand the meaning. Further to these numbers of English speakers it is estimated that some 600 – 700 million people across the globe speak some English as a foreign language. So, in short that is well over a billion people in the world today can communicate in some sort of English language. These are figures from over 10 years ago, so the number might well have increased. From this it is reasonable to assume that approximately 1.5 billion people across the world are capable of communicating in English. This Book helps people to understand British Catchphrases. A must have for people who have English as a second language.

Book Synopsis Flakes of Dark and Light by : Roy Holland
Download or read book Flakes of Dark and Light written by Roy Holland and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-02-28 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title Flakes of Dark and Light is evocative of the sharp flakes of insight and colour which characterise these tales. The tales in the first part mostly depict an African setting and, in fact, are more recent, often suggesting the climate of change and violence that has gripped southern Africa in the last two decades. The stories in the second part were inspired by a more English tradition and, in fact, capture the climate of change that brooded over life during the Thirties and the war years. A contemporary of Ted Hughes, and with many of his stories set in the depressed, sometimes seedy England of the Thirties and Forties which Graham Greene depicted in his early novels, its not surprising that Roy Hollands images and sentences are like flakes that cut like broken glass. A true artist, he does not take sides, but holds up a mirror to show life as it isorwaswhether in a pre-war England or an Africa ravaged by drought and violence. His tales are snapshots, truthful, sometimes startling, of two quite distinct cultures. However disparate they may seem, one is invariably aware of an underlying tenderness and sympathetic vision in the portrayal of character, regardless of race or background, that binds them together.
Book Synopsis Port Out, Starboard Home by : Michael Quinion
Download or read book Port Out, Starboard Home written by Michael Quinion and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2005-09-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can it really be true that 'golf' stands for 'Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden'? Or that 'rule of thumb' comes from an archaic legal principle that a man may chastise his wife, but only with a rod no thicker than his thumb? These and hundreds of other stories are commonly told and retold whenever people meet. They grow up in part because expressions are often genuinely mysterious. Why, for example, are satisfying meals 'square' rather than any other shape? And how did anyone ever come up with the idea that if you're competent at something you can 'cut the mustard'? Michael Quinion here retells many of the more bizarre tales, and explains their real origins where they're known. This is a fascinating treasure-trove of fiction and fact for anyone interested in language.
