Pages : 209
Book Description
An irreverent lexicon of the seemingly infinite ways we call bullshit, written by a McSweeney's columnist and etymologist, illustrated by a New Yorker-contributing cartoonist. What's the difference between "balderdash" and "drivel"? Where did "mumbo-jumbo" come from? How should you use "meadow mayonnaise"? What's "felgercarb" and which popular TV show coined it? There are hundreds of common and rare terms for bullshit in English, including borrowings from German, turn-of-the-century sailors, The Simpsons, and beyond. Bullshit is everywhere, but not all of it is created equal. Mark Peters's Bullshit: A Lexicon is the handy guide to identifying and calling BS in all of its many forms, from "bunk" and "claptrap" to "applesauce" and "gobbledygook." Packed with historical facts, pop culture tidbits, and definitions for each term, Bullshit is perfect for humor readers, language lovers, and anyone looking to describe life's everyday annoyances.

Paranoid Systems of History
Author: Bachi Gongadze
Publisher: Dorrance Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
Structured similarly to the writing styles of ancient and medieval texts, Paranoid Systems of History explores basic ideas and principles which cannot be argued or disputed by anyone in a Cartesian way—the idea of something that is evident and obvious in itself. Bachi Gongadze writes in an honest, almost confessional way, to evoke provocative new ideas and theories on the state of the world and the phenomena within it. The concepts and ideas are shaped by the thoughts of one man, Gongadze, and the philosophers and great writers of the eras, and written during the assumed last days of Gongadze’s life, providing unique ideas which provide readers to reshape their own thinking as well as new thoughts on events throughout history, to reflect on these moments at a new angle. About the Author Bachi Gongadze was born and raised in Georgia and arrived in the USA fifteen months ago, due to finding new treatments for congenital heart disease. At thirty-five, Gongadze has had five surgeries, and after moving, is now on the mend. Gongadze has spent his life writing and translating from English to Russian to Georgian. Paranoid Systems of History is his first published work. Now in the USA, he can share thoughts and ideas that would not be as accepted within his home country. In his spare time, he enjoys reading, playing and watching chess, movies, and music. He is married and has a three-year-old daughter.

Pages : 370
Book Description
Luke is allergic to everything. He spends his days in a sterile safe-haven designed to keep out all light and dirt, while everything he knows about the world comes from books, movies, the internet and whatever his best-friend Julie tells him. He would do anything to go outside. Julie, brilliant and kind, could be out changing the world. Unfortunately, she’s too afraid of airplane crashes, highway accidents, and potentially life-threatening bacteria to leave her hometown, her pointless waitress job, or Luke. Charlotte’s boyfriend dropped dead from a brain hemorrhage. She disappeared for awhile, but now she’s decided that she misses her friends. David has just been diagnosed with testicular cancer. Consequently, he’s no longer wants to spend his days making pizza to pay for school. His priorities in life are changing; he just doesn’t know how, yet. Leanne has just discovered that she may or may not have magic powers. When this motley bunch befriends a lottery winner with a generous heart, they all embark on a hysterical and heartwarming journey in search of the healer who just might be able to cure Luke, and perhaps give them the answers they didn’t know they were looking for.

Horse Who Came to Dinner
Author: Glenn Taylor
Publisher: Royal Society of Chemistry
ISBN: 1788017129
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
Food fraudsters be warned! Sophisticated science was at the centre of detecting and prosecuting this new crime of food fraud. The ground-breaking case, a first of its kind, needed new sentencing guidelines for judges, new working arrangements for prosecutors and police and an EU-wide agreement on techniques and standards used for prosecution, which were agreed on the hoof in response to a crime detected in over 40 countries. In 2013 thousands of consumers, retailers and food businesses were ripped-off by insiders - thieves who substituted and sold horse-meat in place of beef. They used a web of deception that involved unwitting suppliers passing off their fraudulent produce to some of Britain’s largest retailers and international food business. Following so-called Horsegate, the enforcement world had to change. There is now a team focussing on food fraud and a desire to put the perpetrators behind bars. Much tougher sanctions have been introduced with the aim of discouraging such crimes. This book is a timely look at the web of deception and how it can be stopped. Aimed at food enforcement professionals, lay readers with an interest in crime, students studying food fraud, criminology or forensics and anyone who eats food. Once again, life emulated art, this deception mirrors the story of the thief who came to dinner, gained inside knowledge and stole priceless artefacts from the host. So, who will come to dinner next time? This is the second book by the author, a scientist sharing his inside knowledge on this food crime.
