This book builds vocabulary by presenting the fascinating histories behind those words we need for more effective communication and comprehension. Focusing on a core of 100 words and their background stories, the author links these words with hundreds of synonyms and antonyms. Greek and Latin word parts introduce additional words. Informative and amusing exercises reinforce the vocabulary entries.
Here is an entertaining way to:
• Strengthen vocabulary
• Boost score on SAT, GRE, and other standardized examinations
• Learn the intriguing stories behind our English words
• Increase cultural literacy
"This is a superb little book, well-planned for self-study or use in either high school or college courses. The research that underlies the fresh, engaging presentation of etymologies is flawless; and the examples of word usage, both historical and contemporary, are succinct and delightful. If understanding one's language is a road to enlightenment, this book will enlighten many readers."—Stanley Lombardo, Professor and Chair, Classics Department, University of Kansas
