The publisher first saw Kim Cunningham’s artwork - and her father’s clever and witty poetry - at an exhibition of New Hampshire artists near the company’s warehouse in Peterborough. With two young children and bookcases brimming over with alphabet, animal, nonsense, and every other kind of children’s book, it takes a lot to impress him. This work did; even an amateur could see at a glance that here was the Real Thing - both the rhymes and the images.The verses by her father, a New York copywriter, are original, catchy, and sophisticated (or as sophisticated as you can g

Buffett, the Bard of Omaha, is a genuine American folk hero, if folk heroes are allowed to build fortunes worth upward of $15 billion. He’s great at homespun metaphor, but behind those catchy phrases is a reservoir of financial acumen that’s generally considered the best of his generation. For example, in an essay on CEO stock options, he writes, "Negotiating with one’s self seldom produces a barroom brawl." This is his way of saying that an executive who can give himself compensation totally disproportionate to his performance surely will. There are uncountable gems of finan

Although he is a leading figure in linguistic science, many of the papers included here are far from well known, some of them unavailable to the wider linguistic community. The book includes papers offering insight into
