This book showcases words and terms that are all interesting for some reason. Some look or sound beautiful; some are strange in a creative way; some esoteric and deep. Many entries include etymologies and quotations from poetry, literature, etc. showing word usage.In populating this book, subjective taste was unavoidable. Why is a star such as Omicron Draconis chosen over other stars? Simply because the author fancies the name itself. Other entries are chosen due to unique features, or beauty of sound, appearance, or meaning.In addition to the many recherché vocabulary words, there are numerous entries from mythology, astronomy, geography, mathematics, zoology, poetry, and literature. Just a few humans are listed as entries (e.g., Finnish poet Runeberg and English astrologer Sepharial). A liberal sprinkling of English's more elegant prefixes (such as: circum-, cosmo-, proto-, ob-, and para-) and suffixes (-esque, -mancy, -escent, -ium, and -genic) are spread throughout this alphabetized volume.“Brevity is the soul of wit” – Shakespeare, HamletThis book was designed to be very portable, very casual – yet intriguing & inspiring. The reader is gently introduced to new & interesting words, to strange, beautiful, or elegant words. If you love these types of words and terms, you will likely love this collection! If you are looking, however, for OED-type definitions with every word sense and comprehensive etymology and pronunciations, this book may not be for you.The 7-page “Supplemental Words of Beauty or Interest” appending this volume lists just the words themselves, without definitions – most (but far from all) definitions are relatively apparent or commonly known.

This book aims to help English learners from intermediate to advanced levels to develop the important skill of working out the meaning of words and expressions from the context. At some point all language learners are encouraged to do this to expand their vocabulary. The big question is how do you do it?The secret is that the context nearly always contains clues, you just have to know how to find them. This book consists of a detailed guide to the simple questions you should ask yourself and the types of clues you can expect to find in any text. Then there are six entertaining short stories to help you practice the skill. Highlighted in each story are a number of words and expressions. At the end of the stories are vocabulary detective’s notes which give the questions to ask and the clues to notice. But there is no glossary. Instead, your task is to use those clues to work out the meaning for yourself.Perhaps the most important benefit of learning vocabulary like this is that you get a sense of how words are used in different ways and with different meanings when they appear in different contexts. But it should also reduce the number of times you have to look up words in the dictionary and therefore make reading more enjoyable and more effective in expanding your vocabulary.The stories tell of:A doctor attacked on the way to an emergency.A young man’s brief encounter with a Hollywood star.A clash of superstition and good intentions on Christmas Day.The guilty secret behind a stunning photo.A small mistake with serious consequences.And, finally, a dilemma for our times.
