Audible制作部より
A wonderful compendium from The Economist's John Andrews, Book of Isms begins with an exploration of the popular suffix's etymological history and value. Applying "ism" to a word can add meaning and distinction, from turning an action into a noun to describing an ethos. Christopher Oxford's lilting and eloquent delivery keeps the proceedings both light and educational as he recounts the definitions and histories of over 400 isms, including Abstract Expressionism, Holism, Reductionism, and Taoism. Book of Isms is a delightful and worthwhile document of the changing history of this most popular suffix.
