Look no further The Terrible Baby Name Book may be the most outrageous humour book of the year. As you begin your journey to parenthood, everyone from your parents to your friends and co-workers will have an opinion on the perfect name for your baby. Any parent can reject such common names as Michael, Olivia, or Brooke. So why not choose something new and innovative? Imagine what adventures await a child named FLOTUS, Onion, Polygon, Paddle, Dr. Fauci, Helvetica, or, of course, Tostito. It will shape their personality, identity, and how they will be seen by others for the rest of their life. If you have already checked out all the baby name books and parenting websites, then you know there are a lot of great names out there, but none of them are as wild and zany as the ones we suggest. The Terrible Baby Name Book is the answer to your prayers at last, and dares parents to go where no parent has ever gone before. Our book includes: More than 3,500 delightfully unexpected names in convenient A-to-Z orderA faux academic introduction by noted 'linguist' Dr. L. Titus Carpathian providing lively examples, sharply funny commentary, and larger cultural contextAn instructional preface that tells expectant parents how to use this as a reference guide and essential resourceWitty individual name sidebars that give pronunciations, name origins, history, and origin storiesAn appendix of Top 10 lists by category, including pets, regional influences, and sports-inspired namesThe perfect gift for parents to be, this must-have baby name book will have everyone laughing along with you. Sitting beside What to Expect When You're Expecting (Workman Publishing, 1984) and Dr. Spock's Baby and Childcare (S&S, 2005), The Terrible Baby Name Book may well be the essential misguided guide for naming the modern child.

Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. 1st Edition.

Includes Introduction; Songs by Category; Acknowledgments; Sources; Notes; Picture Acknowledgments; Index of People; Index of Musicals and Movies; Index of Song Titles; Permissions; About the Author and List of Other Books by William Zinsser. Profusely illustrated with black-and-white photographs and color illustrated front and rear endpapers. "In this affectionate book, William Zinsser describes his lifelong love affair with American popular song - the thousands of wonderful songs written for Broadway musicals and Hollywood movies during the 40-year golden age that began in 1927 with Show Boat. Today those songs are still the standard repertory for jazz singers and musicians, lodged in the memory of anyone who ever heard them. Who wrote all those songs? What stars and shows were they written for? How were they constructed? What makes them so good? William Zinsser tells that story through the lives of the great composers and lyricists: Jerome Kern, Cole Porter, Oscar Hammerstein, Richard Rogers, Lorenz Hart, Harold Arlen, Dorothy Fields, Goerge and Ira Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Hoagy Carmichael, Johnny Mercer, Harry Warren, Jule Styne, Frank Loesser, Stephen Sondheim, John Kander and Fred Ebb, and many others. He also looks at a number of cultural influences that gave the songs their popularity and their emotional power: sheet music, African American jazz, World War II, singers like Fred Astaire, Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra, and movies like The Wizard of Oz and Casablanca. Zinsser writes from an intimate familiarity with the work of these songwriters, explaining how each of them created a distinctive sound - one that often took the American musical theater in a new direction. The result is a book unlike any other in its authority, its insights, and its knowledge of the songwriter's craft." - from the inner front jacket flap. Homans, Kat y (book design); Moog, Christine N.
