| Summary | Annotation "From Adam and his apple to Dr. Atkins and his diet, people of all ages and all walks of life have contributed their names to the English language. The words that carry their names are called eponyms." "Chambers Dictionary of Eponyms tells the stories of these men and women. It introduces readers to the people behind the Bunsen burner, the Catherine wheel and the Belisha beacon, and explains who John Hancock, Gordon Bennett and Granny Smith were. It also reveals the little-known figures behind such everyday words as tawdry and hooligan."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved |
