Jazz Journeys to Japan
One author's personal odyssey through the jazz scene in Japan
The Meaning of Everything
"We visit the ugly corrugated iron structure that Murray grandly dubbed the Scriptorium -- the Scrippy or the Shed, as locals called it -- and meet some of the legion of volunteers, from Fitzedward Hall, a bitter hermit obsessively devoted to the OED, to W.C. Minor, whose story is one of dangerous madness, ineluctable sadness, and ultimate redemption. The Meaning of Everything is a scintillating account of the creation of the greatest monument ever erected to a living language. Simon Winchester's supple, vigorous prose illuminates this dauntingly ambitious project -- a seventy-year odyssey to create the grandfather of all word-books, the world's unrivaled uber-dictionary. Book jacket."--Jacket.

Summary of Simon Winchester's The Professor and the Madman
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Murder is the most heinous form of criminal homicide. It is defined as the unlawful killing of a human being with malice aforethought. In English, murder is legally defined as the wilful murder of a human being. #2 In Victorian London, even in a place as crime-ridden as Lambeth Marsh, the sound of gunshots was a rare event. The marsh was a dark and sinister place, but the use of a firearm in the commission of a crime was still considered un-British. #3 Lambeth is a district in London that was home to the Lambeth Tragedy, which occurred in the early 1900s. It was a place of warehouses, tenant shacks, and miserable rows of ill-built houses. #4 George and Eliza Merrett were a couple from the countryside who moved to London. They met at a farm show in the Cotswolds, and vowed to leave together for the immeasurable possibilities offered by London. They first lived in north London, and in 1867, they moved to Lambeth.
