Are you a bit of a chairwarmer? Do you use the wins from a country
straight to get scudded on snakebite in a blind tiger? Do you ride the
waves on puddle or death drop?
Vice Slang gently eases you into
the language of gambling, drugs and alcohol, providing you with 3,000
words to establish yourself firmly in the world of corruption and
wickedness. All words are illustrated by a reference from a variety of
sources to prove their existence in alleys and dives throughout the
English speaking world. This entertaining book will give you hours of
reading pleasure.

This 5-volume cookbook set is directly related to the middle school and high school multicultural curricula. It will be the source to turn to for multicultural, immigration, and foreign language units. The World Cookbook for Students fills a demand for more and different recipes for most countries and many ethnic groups. Many librarians still cling to an old Time-Life set, and this new set aims to replace that.
Dirty Little Secrets of World War II exposes the dark, irreverent,
misunderstood, and often tragicomic aspects of military operations
during World War II, many of them virtually unknown even to military
buffs. Like its successful predecessor, Dirty Little Secrets, Dunnigan
and Nofi's new book vividly brings to life all theaters and
participants of the war.
