This unique new reference provides comprehensive listings and explainations, together with samples and historical information, concerning the hundreds of letter and word games, puzzles, and linguistic entertainments that enrich our cultural life. In an introductory section, the author discusses the various ways of manipulating words and letters and the relation of this pastime to literature, linguistics, education and humor. He comments on the use of word-play techniques in the teaching of language arts, noting their demonstrated benefits in stimulating creativity and motivating the unwilling student. Turning to the literary uses of language play, he talks about writers--from Shakespeare, Dickens, James Joyce, and Gertrude Stein to the dadaists, Edward Lear, Ogden Nash, and various contemporary literary artists--whose linguistic devices run the gamut from riddles, acrostics, cross-word puzzles, and anagrams--are considered, along with individual and group games intended to entertain, teach skills, or challenge the imagination or intellect.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mathematical play has challenged and stimulated human ingenuity throughout recorded history. It has ranged from the common sorts of brain teasers such as mazes, arithmetic story problems, and simple geometric puzzles to sophisticated explorations of questions that still concern modern mathematical theorists. This new dictionary provides a tantalizing variety of paradoxes, games, problems, and puzzles that will appeal to mathematics enthusiasts at every level of proficiency. Eiss introduces his subject with an overview of the history of recreational mathematics and its relation to some theoretical questions that have occupied mathematicians for centuries. Dictionary entries include problems posed by particular thinkers as well as traditional puzzlers that have come down to us anonymously. Information on the origins and history of many of the activities is supplied, and thorough cross-referencing enables the reader to locate all puzzles, games, and amusements of a similar type. The bibliography suggest sources of further information.

Book Synopsis Indoor Games and Amusements by : O. Percival
Download or read book Indoor Games and Amusements written by O. Percival and published by Read Country Books. This book was released on 2006-07-01 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This entertaining little book was first published in 1923. The author wrote it with the intention of its contents providing amusement at parties for both children and adults. Its success was proven by demand, with several republications at that time. The books one hundred and eighteen pages contain over one hundred games and other amusements guaranteed to suit all tastes, from those of very young children anxious to play some quiet simple game, to those of adults who have not forgotten that the best way of warding off old age is to "think young." Many of the games and tricks are illustrated with simple and easy to understand black and white illustrations. This book will prove a boon to frustrated parents seeking to keep their children occupied on inclement days, school holidays and party days. What child, or even adult could fail to be entertained and intrigued by thought reading, age guessing, jumping eggs, magic matches, edible candles, blindfold driving, cock fighting and many other period games and tricks. Although the book was penned over eighty years ago and was aimed at the pre-war family without influence of television and computer, its contents, when utilised at the appropriate time cannot fail to amuse and mystify. READ BOOKS specialise in Facsimile Reprints of 19th and 20th Century books that are both informative and amusing. These are published in affordable, high quality, modern editions using the original text and artwork.
