In 2011, fans celebrated the tenth anniversary of the Halo video
game series at Halo Fest. While much had been written on the art,
music, and development of the games, little ink had been spilled to
celebrate the fans-the people who had supported the series and made
its existence possible, developing their own culture along the way.
This book endeavors to highlight the major ways in which the Halo
community has banded together to support themselves, the Halo
series, and even people who have never played the games. Community
Evolved-through the eyes of Halo community leaders-showcases the
various transformations the Halo community has undergone in the
first decade of its existence.

‘Caroline Taggart has carved out a niche for herself in
user-friendly, wittily written factual books.’ – Yorkshire Post
______________________ The huge variety of colourful phrases
contained in the English language are notoriously varied and,
often, notably odd. From blue-blooded (an invention of aristocratic
Spaniards) to limelight (a way of lighting Victorian theatres),
passing an exam with flying colours (an image from sailing ships)
to winning hands down (from horse racing), the fascinating
expressions that make up our language are explored in Humble Pie
and Cold Turkey. In this highly entertaining book, language
enthusiast and Sunday Times best-selling author Caroline Taggart
browses through thousands of years of history to shed light on why
we use the words and phrases we do. Arranged by themes including
food, the household, childhood, romance and more, this intriguing
book looks at the origins of our language from their historical
context. For example, did you know that: If you rest on your
laurels, you’re imitating a complacent Roman general? If you
eavesdrop, you’re likely to get wet? If you’re taken aback, you
should, strictly speaking, be a sailing ship? If you’re
galvanized into action, you’re behaving like Frankenstein’s
monster? Humble Pie and Cold Turkey will prompt you to question the
downright bizarre idioms we use to express ourselves, and answer
questions you may never have thought to ask. Including why turkeys
need to be cold and how pies came to be humble.
