BEGINNER'S ICELANDIC WITH 2CDS [Helga Hilmisdottir & Jacek Kozlowski] Book & 2 CDs. A small volcanic island just south of he Arctic Circle, lceland is a place of fierce natural beauty and warmly hospitable people. Glaciers and fjords punctuate the coastline while geysers, waterfalls and hot springs dot the interior, harnessed by Icelanders to provide geothermal and hydropower energy. The island itself is composed primarily of basalt, or cooled lava. Icelandic retains ancient characteristics that today have been lost by most Western European languages. A North Germanic language related to Faroese, it is grammatically comparable to Latin or Ancient Greek, but is most closely linked to Old Norse. Written Icelandic has changed very little since the 13th century. Icelanders take the preservation of their language very seriously, and are immensely proud of the fact that the 800-year old sagas can still be read today. "Beginner's Icelandic" contains 14 lessons structured to help the student traveller gain ease and familiarity with this noble language. The dialogues follow a variety of practical situations such as shopping, transportation, discussing the weather, eating in restaurants, and renting a car or a room, while building on the grammar, vocabulary and phrases learned in previous exercises. The audio CDs follow the dialogues on the page, so that the student benefits from seeing the script while simultaneously hearing the pronunciation. A glossary of words and colloquialisms rounds out this remarkable introduction to a unique language. { 300pp, 140x215mm, September 2008; PB, £17.99, 0781811910:9780781811910 , Hippocrene Books }
DISCOVER NATIVE AMERICA : Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico & Utah [Tish Minear & Janet Limon] The Ancient Pueblo people, also known mistakenly as the Anasazi, were a prehistoric Native American culture located around the present day "Four Corners" areas of the Southwest United States. This area encompasses the Colorado Plateau, and extends from central New Mexico to southern Nevada, Utah and Arizona. The topography of this panoramic region varies greatly, including high plateaus, vast horizontal mesas, sleep walled canyons, and sandstone windows and bridges sculpted by water erosion. In cliff areas with harder stone, rock overhangs formed and served as building sites for adobe dwellings often accessible only by rope or rock climbing. Numerous national parks and monuments such as Mesa Verde, Grand Canyon, Sunset Crater and Chaco Canyon provide stunning scenery and a well-preserved window into the area's fascinating prehistoric past. Divided geographically, this expanded edition includes tips on visiting reservations, attending ceremonies, buying arts and crafts, and adjusting to "Indian time". The revised format provides easy reader access to a wealth of information, and includes dozens of new sites, selected places to stay, eat and shop, a calendar of various powwows and other tribal ceremonies, a section on language, points of interest, maps, and 16 pages of full colour photographs. The book also examines locations such as the Gila Cliff Dwellings Monument, the Taos Pueblo, and The Denver Art Museum, which houses an extensive collection of North American native art. { 455pp, 140x215mm, July 2008; PB, £13.50, 0781811988:9780781811989 , Hippocrene Books }
MALAYALAM DICTIONARY & PHRASEBOOK [Valsala Menon] Malayala is the language spoken predominantly in the beautiful state of Kerala, an increasingly popular tourist destination on the tropical Malabar coast of south-western India. Malayalam is spoken by around 36 million people. Its native speakers are called "Malayalis". The language is also spoken in the union territories of Lakshadweep and Pondicherry, and by populations all over the world. Malayalam has a rich literary tradition and its speakers are among India's foremost intellectuals. Belonging to the family of Dravidian languages and closely related to Tamil, the language spoken in the neighbouring state Tamil Nadu, Malayalam developed a script of its own. It is also, interestingly, the longest palindromic language name in English. This essential resource provides an extensive two-way dictionary, comprehensive phrasebook, and basic grammar. To aid the English speaker, all Malayalam entries are presented in the Roman alphabet. The native script is also introduced, however, along with a detailed pronunciation guide. Guidance is offered to travellers for various everyday life situations, as well as useful common vocabulary items and an introduction to the arts and culture of Kerala. { 250pp, 95x180mm, July 2008; PB, £8.99, 0781811864:9780781811866 , Hippocrene Books }

BEGINNER'S DANISH WITH 2CDS [Nete Schmidt] Book & 2 CDs. The smallest of the Scandinavian countries, Denmark is made up of a peninsula (Jutland) attached to northern Germany, and a collection of islands known as the Danish Archipelago. Greenland and the Faroe Islands are also crown territories of Denmark, though each has political home rule. Inhabited for over 12,000 years, Denmark is best known for the infamous period between the 8th and 10th century when Danish Vikings, together with Norwegians and Swedes, pillaged and plundered their way across Europe. Danes contributed much to the arts and sciences, however, through the work of writers such as Hans Christian Anderson and Isak Dineson, the philosopher Søren Kierkegaard, and the scientist Niels Bohr, creator of the first working model of the atom. In the title character of Hamlet, William Shakespeare created perhaps the most famous Dane of all. Modern spoken Danish has gained a reputation as being exceptional and difficult for foreigners to understand and master. The nine Danish vowels represent sixteen different sounds and most of the consonants are unvoiced. A unique feature is the 'stød', the glottal stop, used to distinguish between several homonyms and words. The Danes also tend to drop inflectional endings, and this perceived mumbling, even in formal standard Danish, may present problems to those learning the language. The audio CDs emphasise pronunciation and address these issues in a series of engaging exercises on greetings, family, athletics, dining, illness, holidays and celebrations. Perfect for both classroom and independent students, the book also contains lessons on grammar, a glossary of vocabulary words, and a thorough introduction to Danish history and culture. { 352pp, 155x230mm, October 2007; PB, £16.99, 0781811996:9780781811996 , Hippocrene Books }

CAN I HAVE A WORD WITH YOU? [Howard Richler] In his fifth popular book about language, Howard Richler moves from A to Z with one specially chosen word for every letter of the alphabet. What especially intrigues him is how words come to mean what they mean, how they lose some meanings and gain others. Always humorous, Richler invites readers into the intimacy of language and allows us to delight in the ever-shifting glories of English. Among his questions are the following: What is the proper designation for a person older than sixty-five? What constitutes "marriage"? Should the word "nigger" ever be used? Can "niggardly" be regarded as offensive? How should a person who is not married refer to one’s love interest? Boyfriend / Girlfriend? Lover? Partner? Significant other? Why are homosexuals called "gay"? If we call all the people who hunt "hunters" should we refer to all those who fish as "fishers"? Along with the serious fruits of his research, Richler also relates some of the hilarious language snafus he has heard: "Molotov cocktails" referred to as "mazel-tov cocktails" and the mishearing of the Beatles' lyric "The girl with kaleidoscope eyes" as "The girl with colitis goes by". Not since Lynn Truss’s "Eats Shoots & Leaves" has a book about language been so hilarious and informative. This book is a must not only for the bookshelves of all logophiles, but also as the bible for the many family members and friends whose get-togethers often spark lively linguistic argument. { 190pp, 155x230mm, September 2007; PB, £12.99, 1553800494:9781553800491 , Ronsdale Press }

LEG UP : Enhancing Your Child's Reading & Writing [Lenore H Ringler & Carole S Rhodes] "Born to Learn" by Carole Rhodes and Lenore Ringler, traced your child's literacy from birth, through initial tentative baby steps, to the toddler and kindergarten years. "A Leg Up", written by the same authors, picks up the story as your child stands at the threshold of formal schooling, a baby and a pre-schooler no longer, face-to-face with the challenges of school -- and no challenges are more daunting than reading and writing. Yet any parent can, by their own example, offer their child significant advantages, by providing the sort of rich literacy environment that can truly support a young reader's journey through emergent literacy to becoming a fully mature and fluent reader and writer. The reading you enjoy together, as well as the formal and informal uses you make of literacy in the home and family environment, will go a very long way towards ensuring the reading and writing success your child can enjoy as grade follows grade. Lenore and Carole show you just how this is done, by sharing their decades of experience as teachers, researchers and parents. They will give you a clear overview of each stage and every aspect of literacy, from determining the right amount of homework, to balancing the competing demands of print and other media, to reading and writing in the crucial content areas of science and social studies, to exploiting library and world-wide web resources, grappling successfully with reading problems as they arise, selecting the right school and locating the best print and software to enhance your child's learning. { 168pp, 155x230mm, January 2008; PB, £13.50, 0887511201:9780887511202 , Pippin Publishing }
LET'S TALK TURKEY : The Stories Behind America's Favorite Expressions [Rosemaire Ostler] Ever wonder what going on the wagon has to do with drinking? Why does extreme behaviour take the cake? And did Americans' pocket change ever really include wooden nickels? Many of our most intriguing expressions grew slut of once-familiar bits of American culture, the roots of which are now obscure. Respected linguist Rosemarie Ostler demystifies over 150 of these colourful home-grown figures of speech. She traces each saying from its first known appearance in print to its place in modern English, uncovering a host of cultural and historical titbits along the way. Home-grown metaphors sprang up on American soil almost as fast as the colonists' first bean crop. Just as they learned new farming skills and adjusted to an unfamiliar diet, they shaped their language to fit their new situation. Expressions like to play possum and bury the hatchet are uniquely American - they would hardly have made sense in the old country, where possums didn't exist and where hatchets were used only for splitting firewood. Ostler explains the rich history of figures of speech that grew out of the landscape and culture of North America. Much more than a list of phrases and definitions, "Let's Talk Turkey" is a lively and enjoyable exploration of how Americans developed their own inimitable style of speech. Expressions are arranged by cultural categories. These include some of our most bountiful sources for metaphor - the great outdoors, business, entertainment, politics, cops and robbers, food and drink, and doing chores. The thoroughly researched entries reveal the latest etymological discoveries, along with charming and illustrative quotes. This entertaining, amusing, and very informative reference book is sure to captivate language lovers of all ages, as well as anyone fascinated with the byways and back roads of American lore. { 240pp, 155x230mm, June 2008; PB, £12.99, 1591026253:9781591026259 , Prometheus Books }

MODERN ARAMAIC (ASSYRIAN/SYRIAC) DICTIONARY & PHRASEBOOK : Modern Aramaic-English/English-Modern Aramaic [Nicholas Awde, Nineb Limassu & Nicholas Al-Jeloo] The enormous success of Mel Gibson's film 'The Passion of Christ' has revived interest in the Aramaic language. It is now recognised throughout the world as the language spoken by Christ and the Apostles. Contrary to popular belief, however, it is very much a 'living' language spoken today by the Assyrian peoples in Iran, Iraq, Syria and Turkey. It is also heard in Assyrian émigré communities of the US, Europe and Australia. Modern Aramaic or Assyrian is made up of a number of dialects. The two major ones are Swadaya (Eastern) and Turoyo (Western). This unique dictionary and phrasebook incorporates both dialects in a way that illustrates the differences and gives the reader a complete understanding of both. The dialects are presented in an easy-to-read romanised form that will help the reader to be understood. { 304pp, 95x190mm, March 2007; PB, £8.99, 0781810876:9780781810876 , Hippocrene Books }

SPANISH FALSE FRIENDS & OTHER TRAPS [Raul Galer] What are 'false friends'? In Spanish, the word 'actual' is spelled the same as in English but has a completely different meaning. These 'false friends' share the same etymology but their historical development has diverged and today they are not synonymous. Numerous examples of these perplexing cognates are given in this Glossary to help translators in their work. Definitions of usage are given throughout. As illustrations of words that could mislead a translator, paired homonyms and words with a similar etymology are given. Also included are expressions that might confuse. This is the most up-to-date volume of its kind. { 208pp, 152x228mm, May 2008; PB, £13.50, 0781811783:9780781811781 , Hippocrene Books }

TAJIK-ENGLISH/ENGLISH-TAJIK CONCISE DICTIONARY [Jon Jilani] Tajik is the official language of Tajikistan, where it is the mother tongue of 65 percent of the population. Millions more ethnic Tajiks reside in adjacent areas of Afghanistan and Uzbekistan, and it has historically been the language of the ancient Silk Road cities of Samarqand and Bukhara, also in what is now Uzbekistan. A form of Persian, Tajik has retained numerous archaic features, and differs from the dialects of Iran and Afghanistan in its use of the Cyrillic alphabet. This bilingual dictionary, with over 8000 entries, is a useful tool for non-Tajiks visiting Central Asia and Tajik students of English. All Tajik entries appear in both the Cyrillic alphabet and romanised transliteration. The book contains a pronunciation guide and transliteration system for the Tajik Cyrillic alphabet. { 360pp, 100x150mm, May 2008; PB, £7.99, 078181118X:9780781811187 , Hippocrene Books }

WESTERN ARMENIAN DICTIONARY & PHRASEBOOK : Western Armenian-English/English-Western Armenian [Nicholas Awde & VazkenKhatchig Davidian] Western Armenian is the language spoken by most of the 7 million Diaspora Armenians who live outside their historic homeland. Western Armenian speakers form the majority of Armenian spoken in the US, Iran, and the Middle East. The languiage has helped to preserve a unified Armenian sense of identity and common cultural heritage throughout the world.

It contains a resourceful two-way dictionary, an informative grammar section, and a collection of travel-orientated phrases.
