The Book of Lost Tales Part 1

J. R. R. Tolkien

Synopsis

Discover the origins of Middle-earth in The Book of Lost Tales – Part One, the foundational volume of Tolkien's vast legendarium. These are the earliest versions of what would later evolve into The Silmarillion, The Lord of the Rings, and beyond—tales first imagined during World War I and steeped in rich mythic language. Here, the world of Elves, Valar, and Men takes its first breath through stories such as The Cottage of Lost Play, The Fall of Gondolin, and The Tale of Tinúviel. Edited and annotated by Christopher Tolkien, this volume reveals the raw beauty, shifting names, and developmental sketches of Tolkien's myth-making genius. It is a treasure trove for devoted fans and scholars, offering a rare glimpse into the mind of the master as he began shaping a mythology for England.

Witches Midwives & Nurses 2nd Ed...

Deirdre English, Barbara Ehrenreich

Witches, Midwives, and Nurses examines how women-led healing was delegitimized to make way for patriarchy, capitalism, and the emerging medical industry. 
 
 
 
As we watch another agonizing attempt to shift the future of healthcare in the United States, we are reminded of the longevity of this crisis, and how firmly entrenched we are in a system that doesn't work. 
 
 
 
First published by the Feminist Press in 1973, Witches, Midwives, and Nurses is an essential book about the corruption of the medical establishment and its historic roots in witch hunters. In this new and updated edition, Barbara Ehrenreich and Deirdre English delve into the current fascination with and controversies about witches, exposing our fears and fantasies. They build on their classic exposé on the demonization of women healers and the political and economic monopolization of medicine. This quick history brings us up-to-date, exploring today's changing attitudes toward childbirth, alternative medicine, and modern-day witches.

The Dictionary of Posh -...

Hugh Kellett

The Dictionary of Posh serves as an essential guide to the (ab)use of many English words by the decidedly up-market and the resultant — and endangered — language they speak: Posh.

Hugh Kellett hilariously captures the spirit and nuances of those who speak Posh and, allied with Oliver Preston's brilliantly accurate cartoons, this book is the key to understanding and interpreting this language ?— literally with tongue-in-cheek.

Hidden within normal English is a separate language still spoken by those born with silver spoons in their mouths. It's called Posh. A word of English can be spelt the same but mean something completely different in Posh. If you say the word 'Mention' in English, people will understand 'Remark upon'; but in Posh this means a large house. Say 'Ace' and speakers of Posh will think you are referring to a cold thing one's butler puts in one's G&T.

Why Do We Say That? 404 Idioms...

Scott Matthews

Who decided “break a leg” was a way to say good luck? Why are you “in a pickle” when things go wrong? And why on earth do we tell people to “hold their horses” when there are no horses in sight?
You’ve probably used everyday idioms like “break the ice,” or “hit the nail on the head” without giving them a second thought — most of us do. But behind these quirky expressions lie fascinating facts, bizarre backstories, and cultural twists that make the English language endlessly entertaining.
In Why Do We Say That? — The Complete 4-in-1 Idiom Collection, you’ll explore a treasure trove of 404 popular idioms, sayings, proverbs, and expressions — all packed with fun trivia, origin stories, and strange-but-true histories. This value-packed bundle combines four best-selling books into one essential volume for curious readers, language lovers, and anyone learning English who wants to speak more naturally and confidently.
Each entry explains where the phrase came from, how it evolved over time, and what it really means today — making this the perfect companion for word nerds, trivia buffs, ESL learners, homeschoolers, and lifelong learners alike.
Inside you’ll discover:
✔️ Why “kick the bucket” has nothing to do with actual buckets — and everything to do with death
✔️ How “pulling someone’s leg” evolved from a sinister trick to a harmless joke
✔️ What “buttering someone up” has to do with ancient rituals (and actual butter)
✔️ Why we “burn the midnight oil” to work late — and where that expression really comes fromClick the Buy Now button to decode the weird, witty, and wonderful world of English idioms — one unforgettable phrase at a time.
