Descriere magazin:
For word lovers everywhere, a classic anthology of collective nouns--now vastly expanded and with a new introduction. Infectious in spirit, beautifully illustrated with over 250 witty engravings by Granville, Durer, and other artists, this work is a word lover\'s garden of delights. A delightfully unexpected, lovingly curated ode to the unique collective nouns that adorn our language, from a leap of leopards to a murder of crows and beyond, from the inimitable voice behind Inside the Actors Studio I am madly in love with collective nouns They make language so colorful and ticklish. . . . An Exaltation of Larks ] possess es] an embarrassment of riches (wink wink ). --Lupita Nyong\'o, The New York Times For those who have wondered if the familiar pride of lions and gaggle of geese were merely the tip of a linguistic iceberg, James Lipton has provided a definitive answer: here are hundreds of equally pithy, often poetic terms he has unearthed and collected into one exhaustive volume. Over years of painstaking research, he embarked on an odyssey that has given us a slouch of models, a shrivel of critics, an unction of undertakers, a blur of Impressionists, a score of bachelors, a pocket of quarterbacks, and many more. Witty, beautiful, and remarkably apt, An Exaltation of Larks is a brilliant compendium of more than 1,100 resurrected or newly minted contributions to that ever-evolving species, the English language.
