Book excerpt: From A to Z, Abba and Adam Ant to the Zantees and ZZ Top, Mark Beech has interviewed thousands of stars from the music world to find the answer to one of the great questions in music: "Why are they called that?" Why did the Quarrymen become the Beatles? Were Oasis named after a cab company, a nightclub, a curry house or a song? Why did Nirvana move away from Skid Row? Which world-famous groups were originally called the Screaming Abdabs? The Miraculously Majestic Masters of the Universe? The High Numbers? It's all here, the bands who stumbled upon their names by chance, those who found their names through random stabs in a dictionary or mishearings, along with tales of the groups named after dinosaurs, dogs, dolls, and drugs... Sometimes controversial and often hilarious, The A-Z of Names in Rock provides a fascinating look behind some of the biggest names in the music industry, as well as revealing many of the names that were discarded by stars along the way.

Book Synopsis Arizona Place Names by : Will Croft Barnes

Book excerpt: Will Croft Barnes (1858-1937) first came to Arizona as a cavalryman and went on to become a rancher, state legislator, and conservationist. From 1905 to 1935, his travels throughout the state, largely on horseback, enabled him to gather the anecdotes and geographical information that came to constitute Arizona Place Names. For this first toponymic encyclopedia of Arizona, Barnes compiled information from published histories, federal and state government documents, and reminiscences of "old timers, Indians, Mexicans, cowboys, sheep-herders, historians, any and everybody who had a story to tell as to the origin and meaning of Arizona names." The result is a book chock full of oddments, humor, and now-forgotten lore, which belongs on the night table as well as in the glove compartment. Barnes' original Arizona Place Names has become a booklover's favorite and is much in demand.
