With 1,500 new words and phrases, this abridged edition of the
"Dictionary of American Slang" is the most buzzworthy, banging
collection of colloquial American English--no joke
This fully updated and abridged fourth edition of "American
Slang" contains more than 1,500 new terms representing the variety
and vigor of American slang, from "yada yada yada" to "yo momma."
There's no better resource for those who are curious about
language, fascinated by counterculture, or just completely confused
when other people talk.
Like previous editions, this edition features pronunciation
guides, word origins, examples of appropriate usage as well as a
helpful highlighting system that lets you know which terms should
be used with caution, and never in polite company. Both an
important archive of the way America is really talking and a lot of
fun to read, "American Slang" will prove to be an invaluable
companion in keeping up with the dauntingly jargon-filled, quickly
evolving language of today.

Aufdeckung der WahlfAlschung fA1/4r die politische Wende in der DDR
gewesen ist.
This is the new-in-paperback edition of The Oxford Dictionary of
Statistical Terms, the much-awaited sixth edition of the acclaimed
standard reference work in statistics, published on behalf of the
International Statistical Institute. The first edition, known as
the Dictionary of Statistical Terms, was edited in 1957 by the late
Sir Maurice Kendall and the late Dr W.R. Buckland. As one of the
first dictionaries of statistics it set high standards for the
subject, and became a well-respected reference. This edition has
been carefully updated and extended to include the most recent
terminology and techniques in statistics. Significant revision and
expansion from an international editorial board of senior
statisticians has resulted in a comprehenisive reference text which
includes 30% more material than previous editions. Ideal for all
who use statistics in the workplace and in research including all
scientists and social scientists, especially in law, politics,
finance, business, and history, it is an indispensable reference.
An invaluable guide through the intricacies of the first century of
modern art, ArtSpoke features the same lucid prose,
thought-provoking ideas, user-friendly organization, and striking
design as its predecessor, ArtSpeak: A Guide to Contemporary Ideas,
Movements, and Buzzwords. Chronicling international art from
Realism through Surrealism, ArtSpoke explains such popular but
often misunderstood movements and organizations as Impressionism,
Post-Impressionism, the Salon, the Fauves, the Harlem Renaissance,
and so on-as well as events ranging from the 1913 Armory Show to
Brazil's little-known Semana de Arte Moderna. Concise explanations
of potentially perplexing techniques, media, and philosophies of
art making-including automatism, calotype, found object,
Pictorialism, and Readymade-provide information essential to
understanding how artists of this era worked and why the results
look the way they do. Entries on concepts that were crucial to the
development of modern art-such as androgyny, dandyism, femme
fatale, spiritualism, and many others-distinguish this lively guide
from any other art dictionary on the market. Also unique to this
volume is the ArtChart, a handy one-page chronological diagram of
the groups discussed in the book. In addition, there is a
scene-setting timeline of world history and art history from 1848
to 1944, overflowing with invaluable information and illustrated
with twenty-four color reproductions. Students, specialists, and
casual art lovers will all find ArtSpoke an essential addition to
their reference shelves and a welcome companion on visits to
museums and galleries.
