How the Irish Invented Slang: The Secret Language of the Crossroads
Click on picture to view full-size image
In a series of lively essays, this pioneering book proves that U.S. slang has its strongest wellsprings in nineteenth-century Irish America. "Jazz" and "poker", "sucker" and "scam" all derive from Irish. While Demostrating this, Daniel Cassidy simultaneously traces the hidden history of how Ireland fashioned America, not just linguistically, but through the Irish gambling underworld, urban street gangs, and the powerful political machines that grew out of them. Cassidy uncovers a secret national heritage, long discounted by our WASP-dominated culture. Please see the book deals to avoid paying unnecessary shipping costs when purchasing two books.

A Bush & Botox World: Travels Through Bush's America
Click on picture to view full-size image
By Saul Landau. Foreward by Gore Vidal. Botox promoters promise to wipe away wrinkles, the signs of aging- the signs of time passing. Such "eternal youth" potions metophorically help erase the very notion of time itself. In a phony world, increasingly dependent on smoke and mirrors, it is no wonder we look at elected officials like a cheap circus act. Saul Landau travels in and out of America, from the stress-filled cultures of Southern California business people and poor towns in Texas, to the wildly booming streets of Hanoi and temples of Angkor Wat, to muse on just how low we have sunk. The book explores the ironies of a time in which science uncovers the genetic code and masters of physics of instant global communication technology, while bible thumpers and talkers to Christ advocate medieval crusades to spread their order to infidels. gore Vidal provides a scabrously funny introduction to a book by an author he "loves to steal ideas from."
