Jedburgh Justice and Kentish Fire: The Origins of English in Ten Phrases and Expressions Год выпуска: 2014Автор: Paul Anthony JonesИздательство: ConstableСтраниц: 304ISBN: 978-1-4721-1389-4Описание From Paul Anthony Jones, author of Haggard Hawks and Paltry Poltroons, this is a fascinating guide to the origins and histories of 500 phrases and expressions, divided into fifty absorbing lists of ten - from 10 Phrases Derived From Places In London (like a "Kent Street ejectment") to 10 Latin Phrases Used In English (like "nunc est bibendum"); from 10 Shakespearean Expressions (like "gild the lily") to 10 Phrases Taken From Comics and Cartoons (like "keeping up with the Joneses"); and from 10 Phrases Taken From Songs (like "the birds and the bees") to 10 Ways of Saying "Wow" (like "great Scott!"). Here you ll find the story of how a flock of geese saved a city, how an apple started an argument, where the first Gotham City was, and why the tale of an unlucky saddler proves you should never turn down the offer of a drink. There's also a terrifically funny joke about a robbery gone wrong, and a terrifically bad joke about a chimpanzee and a parrot all waiting to be uncovered.

Olga, 23.10 Огромное Вам спасибо за рефераты, я сегодня их забрала и прочитала, в понедельник поедем сдавать в экстернат. Не могу не сказать Вам, что Вы очень талантливый и тонкий человек. Я хорошо знаю, что образование, каким бы качественным оно не было, не даёт возможности безошибочно почувствовать поставленную задачу. Высокое качество Ваших работ бесспорно, однако меня больше всего поразила точность и артистичность не просто реализации цели и задач исследования, а исполнения АВТОРСКОЙ по духу работы: в нашем случае это не просто рефераты на заданную тему, а рефераты совершенно определённого качественно (в смысле возраста, уровня образования и т.п.) автора. Выражаю Вам своё восхищение, надеюсь на дальнейшее сотрудничество.
