Crank Calls by Jonathan Winters (Author)
This delightful compilation of answering machine messages left for Jonathan Winters's friend and colleague, J. B. Smith, is a necessity for die-hard Winters fans. In this Grammy winner for Best Comedy Recording Winters's improvisational skills shine. He deftly tackles such subjects as politics, plumbing, Porsches and passing on--each in 60 seconds! Listeners are treated to Winters's spirited wit, as well as his humorous views of real-life stresses: aging, holidays, the frustration of not being able to reach the person you're calling. Ever! Winters's laughing voice orders Smith to "pull the chain on your head and flush your mind." With its sheer silliness, that's just what this recording does for us.

A Natural History of Latin by Tore Janson Book Description Latin is alive and well. Beginning in Rome around 600 BC Latin became the language of the civilized world and remained so for over two millennia. French, Spanish, Italian, and Romanian are among its progeny and it still provides the international vocabulary of law and life science. No known language, including English - itself enriched by Latin words and phrases - has achieved such success and longevity. Tore Janson tells its history from origins to the present. Brilliantly
conceived and written with the same light touch as Speak, his bestselling history of languages, A Natural History of Latin is a masterpiece of adroit synthesis.
The author charts the expansion in the classical world, its renewed importance in the Middle Ages, and its survival into modern times. He shows its central role in European history and culture and, by judicious quotation of phrases and texts, describes how spoken and written Latin changed and evolved differently in different places. He ends with a summary of Latin grammar and lists of Latin words and of phrases still in common use.
Considered elitist and irrelevant in the second half of the twentieth century and often banned from schools, Latin is now enjoying a huge revival of interest and a renaissance in schools across Europe, the UK, and the USA. Tore Janson offers persuasive arguments for its value and direct access to its fascinating worlds, past and present. (amazon.com).
The art of war, according to Sun Tzu's 2,000-year-old text of the
same name, is largely a matter of strategy, but the science of war
begins squarely with weapons. Physics and engineering - and more often
today, chemistry and biology - drive the creation of new military tools,
from smart bombs and stealth aircraft to nerve gases and plastic
explosives.
In the Weapons issue, scientists share their expertise on one terror
of the ancient battlefield, the trebuchet, as well as several
modern-day scourges, including land mines, third world submarines and
biological arms. Additional articles feature in-depth research by staff
editors on more futuristic threats - in the form of swift subsea systems
and so-called non-lethal weapons.
