Book excerpt: Excerpt from What's in a Name?: Surnames and Their Significance How ridiculous it appears, when one comes to think of it, to call men by such names as Coffee, Bacon, Brawn, Ham, Egg, Butter, Cream, Cheese, Cake, Crumb, Custard, Tart, or Jelly! And yet, were these denied a place among our family names, the owners of them would (and not unjustly) feel inclined to rise up in rebellion. It would possibly require that the human beings so designated should be the invited guests, say, of Mr. Eichman or Mr. Merryman for them thoroughly to realise how absurd are the appellations by which, through no fault of their own, fate has chosen they should be distinguished. There are two consolations that may be offered to the proprietors of such queer unmanly titles. In the first place, you do not stand alone, for curious and ludicrous surnames seem to be the rule rather than the exception.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Napoli Unplugged Guide to Naples is not your typical guidebook. Written for the intrepid traveller seeking a more profound experience, the NU Guide delves deep - deep enough to catch the cultural heartbeat of the city. It's a must-have for anyone with more than just a passing interest in Naples and you'll want to revisit the book again and again, long after your return home. There's also plenty here to satisfy the wanderlust of armchair travellers. Written by four women united by a common passion - Napoli - who love to wax lyrical about their adoptive city, it makes you feel you're seeing Naples through the eyes of your best friends. Their own enthusiasms are multiple: art, archaeology and architecture; history and mythology; music, dance and theatre; food and wine, the islands and the beach - even shopping - and each subject has its narrative moment in the spotlight. The prose is embellished by many beautiful photographs, urban sketches and plein-air paintings by artists who couldn't resist the siren call of Parthenope. From the parallel city hidden below Naples' bustling streets to the summit of Vesuvius, the authors explore the city - one of the oldest in the Western world, the bay - surely the most stunning, and a little further afield in Campania. Rambles Through the City explores Naples by the neighbourhood - its historic and municipal centres as well as its hill districts and is enhanced by creative cartography to orient the reader; Outings in the Outskirts dives into the Bay of Naples and a bit beyond - the Vesuvius Excavations, the Phlegraean Fields and the glories of the Amalfi Coast; Ventures in a Different Vein feeds the mind and delights the senses with a section dedicated entirely to Naples' history, and finally, the authors outline an immersion course in the city's music, theatre and food and wine cultures. Each section is equipped with practical advice on transport, opening hours, essential numbers - and the book is topped off with a thematic index offering the reader other pathways of discovery into the city.

Book excerpt: THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER Surnames are much more than convenient identity tags; they are windows into our families’ pasts. Some suggest ancestral trades (Butcher, Smith, Roper) or physical appearance (Long, Brown, Thynne). Some provide clues to where we come from (McDonald, Evans, Patel). And some – Rymer, Brocklebank, Stolbof – offer a hint of something just a little more exotic or esoteric. All are grist to the mill for David McKie who, in What’s in a Surname?, sets off on a journey around Britain to find out how such appellations have evolved and what they tell us about ourselves. En route he looks at the surname’s tentative beginnings in medieval times, and the myriad routes by which particular names became established. He considers some curious byways: the rise and fall of the multi-barrel surname and the Victorian reinvention of ‘embarrassing’ surnames among them. He considers whether fortune favours those whose surnames come at the beginning of the alphabet. And he celebrates the remarkable and the quirky, from the fearsome Ridley (the cry of which once struck terror in the hearts of their neighbours) to the legend-encrusted Tichborne, whose most famous holders were destined to suffer misfortune and controversy. Elegiac and amusing by turns, he offers a wonderfully entertaining wander along the footpaths of the nation’s history and culture, celebrating not just the Smiths and Joneses of these islands but the Chaceporcs and Swetinbeddes, too.

Wondered about the stories behind them, especially if they are unusual? This Amazon NUMBER 1 BESTSELLING BOOK (Genealogy) tells the engaging story of when our surnames first came into use, why they were necessary and how people acquired them. After spending decades writing and researching the history of names, William Lewis presents in ‘What’s in your Surname?’ a journey through the quite diverse origins of English surnames citing hundreds of examples along the way. On this engaging journey you will discover the origin of last names, from disparaging nicknames to saints’ names and how history has shaped the creation of and evolution of surnames. There have been many books with surnames as their theme: dictionaries of surnames, books about unusual surnames, heraldry, researching family history and so forth, but very few look at British history solely through surnames. From Baker, Barratt and Bell through to Belcher, Blanchflower and Bugg, William Lewis covers the history of commonplace and exotic surnames in equal measure. A joy to read whether cover-to-cover or dipped into as a treasury of sources, ‘What’s in your Surname?’ offers an engaging, vivid and revealing historical portrait of English surnames - and the unique and diverse places from whence they came. Read 'What’s in your Surname?' today to discover the fascinating origins of hundreds of English surnames
