Did you know?:
- The words "penis" and "vagina" used to be offensive obscenities before some aristocrats pilfered Latin for words poor people wouldn't use?
- For most of history up until recently, slurs weren't considered curse words?
- During the Middle Ages, Catholic authorities believed using the Lord's name in vain could physically injure God Himself?
Explore all this and more, in a fascinating dive through the linguistic lineage of modern English profanity. Mohr has an amazing writer's voice, keeping things crisp and accessible while still letting you feel self-satisfied in the knowledge you're reading an academic text. An engrossing read and the perfect gift for any history or linguistics buff, and especially for people into anthropology and religious history. Every person I've lent it has loved it! ~ Reviewed by David Gray-Smith

It's no secret that Thai is a tricky language to learn. Beginners are commonly intimidated by the complexity and tone driven nature of the language. Knowing where to start can be difficult, but this book makes the daunting task much easier. It is absolutely perfect for those who are looking for a good starting point when learning the Thai alphabet. To get the best experience, I'd recommend utilizing the free audio included in the book and learning each letter while listening closely to native speakers pronounce it as you practice. ~ Reviewed by Arielle Baldwin

Oxford Professor Emma Smith follows up her refreshing and brilliant This Is Shakespeare with Portable Magic an exceptional look at the “bookhood” or “bookishness” of books–the codex as a form. From a novel read of how Gutenberg is used as a misleading narrative of European exceptionalism to the self-posed photograph of Marilyn Monroe with Ulysses (reading Molly’s soliloquy no less) both symbols of transgressive sexuality to anthropodermic books bound in human skin (she’s just brilliant on that troubling volume of Phyllis Wheatley’s poetry–binding the book of a pioneering African-American to flesh), Smith is invariably engaging and stimulating. Unfortunately, the embossed cover and spine is cheaply made and rubs away with handling, sadly ironic for this book in particular. ~ Reviewed by Dafydd Wood
