Richard Silvestri
Wordplay Crosswords 2

2008 y.
Publisher: Sterling
Description: Puzzle fans will welcome this second collection of crossword fun from Richard Silvestri! All crosswords have words…but some are sorely lacking in wordplay. Luckily, this collection has plenty: every theme and many of the clues are bursting with homophones, sneaky double-meanings, and other linguistic tricks. The crosswords have no obscure vocabulary, just clever and inventive themes that will keep readers guessing until they`ve filled in the very last square. Here`s just a sampling of what Silvestri has in store for solvers: What 12 letters mean `Turn down trash?` Why, refuse refuse, of course! There`s a ton of verbal calisthenics to keep every brain sharp. [detailed...]

John Langdon
Wordplay: The Philosophy, Art, and Science of Ambigrams

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Take a second look at the cover of this book—this time, turn it upside down. The title, Wordplay , is an ambigram, which means you will be able to read it both right side up and upside down. You may be familiar with the John Langdon’s ambigrams from Dan Brown’s bestseller Angels &, Demons (see pages 186 and 188 of Wordplay ), but if this is your first experience with the art of the ambigram, prepare to be dazzled! This lovely updated edition of the classic collection of ambigrams features a section of full-color ambigrams and dozens of stunning, mind-bending examples of this cryptic art form. Each strikingly beautiful and arresting illustration is accompanied by a short essay—sometimes serious, sometimes witty—to delight your brain as much as your eyes. Taken together, the art and the essays show how the very shape of letters can change our idea of words and their meanings. As Dan Brown says in the Foreword of this revised… [detailed...]

Words Fail Me

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Witty and amusing handbook to the contradictions and inconsistencies of the English language. In 2004, Lynne Truss` little book on punctuation, Eats, Shoots &, Leaves, was a surprise hit. The Sudoku craze swept the country in 2005. This year, why not challenge your brain with words instead of numbers? WORDS FAIL ME by Teresa Monachino, is a collection of mind-teasing wordplay designed to artfully manipulate the unpredictability of the English language. Award-winning designer and typographer Teresa Monachino has always been baffled by the English language`s contradictions and peculiarities. Words do not mean what they say--the middle letters of believe spell lie. Words have the same spelling but differ in both pronunciation and meaning--minute is both miniscule and a measurement of time. Words are paired together redundantly--empty space or honest truth. WORDS FAIL ME is a witty collection of these unruly words, all set in Monachino`s immaculate … [detailed...]

Words Made Flesh

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This is the book that first challenged our basic assumptions about the nature of the physical universe by suggesting that we might all be living in a virtual reality - and that information might prove more fundamental than either matter or energy. At thetime of publication (1988) this was still a revolutionary idea, but it is now growing familiar thanks to the success of films such as `Open Your Eyes` and `The Matrix`. The ideas in this book have even been given an airing on the pages of New Scientist but, fourteen years on, this remains the most thorough and complete discussion of the virtual model of the universe. While others are beginning to explore the concept, the author had been working with it ever since the 1960s when he was studying mathematics at Cambridge university under Conway, himself a pioneer of artificial life studies. What struck the author was the division in society between those who fully accepted a materialistic view of existence and all phenomena, and those who… [detailed...]

Words at Work: Business Writing in Half the Time With Twice the Power

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Good writing has long been undervalued in the workplace. After all, business letters, memos, proposals, and the like are about communication, not literature. And, true, the readership probably couldn`t care less about sentence structure or tone. Still, something inspires the recipient of such material to either read it or toss it, and that something is very often the quality of the writing. Words at Work is a practical guide by the founder of a company that offers writing services for businesses: Susan Benjamin. She believes that the average letter has to be `captivating within the first five words.` She hauls away tired phrases (`I enjoyed speaking with you on the phone last week` and `Our company is committed to meeting your needs`), cliches, and jargon, encouraging businesspeople to be specific, fresh, anecdotal, and grammatical in their writing. Benjamin`s analogies may make you cringe (`Go for ordinary, clean words, which your reader can glide … [detailed...]

Words for Pictures: Seven Papers on Renaissance Art and Criticism

2003 y.
Publisher: Yale University Press
Description: The Italian Renaissance was a creative period for art criticism as well as for art itself. The early efforts to give verbal accounts of visual representations and their quality throw light not only on the art of the period but also on artcriticism at any time. This collection of papers by art historian and critic Michael Baxandall represents his thinking over the past forty years on the relation between language and art. He offers seven thought-provoking pieces, three of which are new and written specifically for this book. Focusing on works of the fifteenth century, Baxandall shows with fresh insight how words match the experience of looking at paintings and sculptures. The author introduces the basic Renaissance framework for art criticism and proceeds to explore various humanist critical writings of the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. He concludes with a major new essay on Piero della Francesca`s Resurrection of Christ in which he probes the visual experience of a… [detailed...]

Words to Be Looked At: Language in 1960s Art

2007 y.
Publisher: The MIT Press
Description: Language has been a primary element in visual art since the 1960s—whether in the form of printed texts, painted signs, words on the wall, or recorded speech. In Words to Be Looked At, Liz Kotz traces this practice to its beginnings, examining works of visual art, poetry, and experimental music created in and around New York City from 1958 to 1968. In many of these works, language has been reduced to an object nearly emptied of meaning. Robert Smithson described a 1967 exhibition at the Dwan Gallery as consisting of `Language to be Looked at and/or Things to be Read.` Kotz considers the paradox of artists living in a time of social upheaval who used words but chose not to make statements with them. Kotz traces the proliferation of text in 1960s art to the use of words in musical notation and short performance scores. She makes two works the `bookends` of her study: the `text score` for John Cage`s legendary 1952 work 4`33`—written instructions directing a performer to remain silent… [detailed...]
