Whether you are a cubicle newbie or a water cooler veteran, this
book can help you to navigate the corridors of power, the pathways
of indifference and the narrow gap that separates your crazy boss
from your annoying co-worker. Well, not really, but at least it
will give you a bit of humorous relief from the daily grind. George
Stone takes you on a fun ride through the pitfalls of being a desk
jockey. The trials and tribulations of working in an office are
mercilessly skewered, and as always, it reads better than it lives!
A collection of unusual words defined and used in context from the
works of myriad authors What do wierd and wonderful words such as
oology and photic (used by the likes of Nabokov and Beckett,
Anthony Burgess and John Fowles) actually mean? In the past you had
to look in the bulkiest, most expensive dictionaries to find out.
Now, in this informative and hugely entertaining book, more than
1,300 fascinating words--erotic, poetic and abusive, from abaxial
to zoophiliac--are clearly defined (with examples from major
writers). If you're in pursuit of fulgent logodaedaly (dazzling
skill with words), you can enrich your incondite (unpolished)
prose. Better still, you'll be able to impress your friends with
your brilliant vocabulary without making a complete balatron of
yourself!
