Download or read book Word Myths written by David Wilton and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-11-06 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you "know" that posh comes from an acronym meaning "port out, starboard home"? That "the whole nine yards" comes from (pick one) the length of a WWII gunner's belt; the amount of fabric needed to make a kilt; a sarcastic football expression? That Chicago is called "The Windy City" because of the bloviating habits of its politicians, and not the breeze off the lake? If so, you need this book. David Wilton debunks the most persistently wrong word histories, and gives, to the best of our actual knowledge, the real stories behind these perennially mis-etymologized words. In addition, he explains why these wrong stories are created, disseminated, and persist, even after being corrected time and time again. What makes us cling to these stories, when the truth behind these words and phrases is available, for the most part, at any library or on the Internet? Arranged by chapters, this book avoids a dry A-Z format. Chapters separate misetymologies by kind, including The Perils of Political Correctness (picnics have nothing to do with lynchings), Posh, Phat Pommies (the problems of bacronyming--the desire to make every word into an acronym), and CANOE (which stands for the Conspiracy to Attribute Nautical Origins to Everything). Word Myths corrects long-held and far-flung examples of wrong etymologies, without taking the fun out of etymology itself. It's the best of both worlds: not only do you learn the many wrong stories behind these words, you also learn why and how they are created--and what the real story is.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chased by the Dawn is a collection of poems spanning a lifetime of observation and experience. Humorous, touching, strident, ironic, tender, angry, insightful, encouraging, this American poet paints vivid images emerging along an eventful journey from a Missouri Ozarks boyhood to his present high desert Arizona home. Raised in a home where both the arts and humanity were highly valued, Kenneth Kennon learned to observe life experience and relate to both people and nature from his parents rich perspective of poet and painter. Poems in this eclectic collection explore a wide range of themes offering observations and encounters with visions of childhood, musing on growing older, life touched with discouragements and encouragements, wise lessons of nature, experiencing moments of routine, elation and grief, interactive with family and a wide community of friends and neighbors met, lost and kept, all revealing a souls search and discovery of beauty, justice, peace, and a sustaining faith.

Book excerpt: First published in 1972, The Foxfire Book was a surprise bestseller that brought Appalachia's philosophy of simple living to hundreds of thousands of readers. Whether you wanted to hunt game, bake the old-fashioned way, or learn the art of successful moonshining, The Foxfire Museum and Heritage Center had a contact who could teach you how with clear, step-by-step instructions. This eleventh volume celebrates the rituals and recipes of the Appalachian homeplace, including a one-hundred page section on herbal remedies, and segments about planting and growing a garden, preserving and pickling, smoking and salting, honey making, beekeeping, and fishing, as well as hundreds of the kind of spritied firsthand narrative accounts from Appalachian community members that exemplify the Foxfire style. Much more than "how-to" books, the Foxfire series is a publishing phenomenon and a way of life, teaching creative self-sufficiency, the art of natural remedies, home crafts, and other country folkways, fascinating to everyone interested in rediscovering the virtues of simple life.

Download or read book How to Quit Smoking Even If You Don t Want To written by Barbara Miller and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2008-07-18 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You can quit smoking! It is not impossible! I use to say, "I don't want to quit smoking" I asked myself, "What if this was the addiction?" I then thought, I want to, want to quit. What could make you want to quit? My biggest motivation came from not wanting to be controlled by this nicotine. I wanted to be in charge. This book is about how to transform one's thinking while simultaneously getting ready to quit. "This book gives you a step-by-step plan that will show you how to get ready to quit. Quitting smoking is like going into battle. With this plan in place you will be ready to win! You will learn how to develop your willpower and tap into an incredible source of "Self-Power." This plan shows you exactly what to do. How to Quit Smoking Even If You Don't Want To is in textbook format with ten brainstorming exercises you must do. People who smoke are often on "auto-pilot-thinking." This plan interrupts the "auto-pilot" and shows you how to re-write the script. It is true that you do not have to want to quit smoking but you do have to want to change something about how you make decisions. It is not complicated. As a matter of fact it is all very easy. By doing the exercises and following through with the plan you will "see" exactly what is holding you on to cigarettes. When you "see" what is keeping you addicted it becomes a whole lot easier to let go. This book will show you how to eliminate 75% of the nicotine fits, if not more. When you are all done the brainstorming exercises you will have made a one-of-a-kind, custom-made tool that will tell you what to think, when to think it, what to do and when, and how to act and how not to act. You will use this tool when you open your last pack. I often hear people say, "I have tried everything." My response is, "Have you looked in the mirror?" The answers lie inside you, not in the drugstore. This book is about transforming yourself from the inside. Some of the exercises can help you change other areas of your life that you are not completely satisfied with. My plan and method is about transforming your mind into one that can do what it could not do before. This is a serious subject with a twist of humor. I am sure you will enjoy it! Do not be afraid of trying to quit smoking. Be afraid of what will happen if you do not! Be free! Go for it!
