Description: The newest title in the popular 100 Words series is an informative
and entertaining resource that can help anyone be right on the
money when looking for words that will make a point, seal the deal,
or just keep folks listening. Chosen by the editors of the American
Heritage Dictionaries, these words will appeal to anyone who wants
to be a more compelling communicator—as a worker, consumer,
advocate, friend, dinner companion, or even as a romantic prospect.
The book includes a colorful variety of words, including handy
words of just one syllable (such as glib) and words derived from the
names of famous people (such as Freudian slip and Machiavellian).
There are expressions from popular culture (Catch-22) and words that
date back to classical civilization (spartan and stoic). Each word is
clearly defined and shown in context with quotations from contemporary
sources: magazines, newspapers, broadcast media, movies, and
television. For many words, quotations from distinguished authors and
speakers are also given and word histories are explained.
Like its predecessors in this successful series, 100 Words to
Make You Sound Smart provides an affordable and enjoyable way
to communicate more effectively. It offers the coveted gift of gab to
anyone who needs to "say it right"—and to anyone who wants to sound
more articulate.
