Description
Instead of defining the roots of a word in the conventional sense, Campbell charts the word's evolution through anecdotes. This entertaining little volume is organized into 49 topical chapters and contains some 500 anecdotes describing the colorful history of some 700 words. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
