"How do words get coined? That question is explored in Ralph Keyes's latest book, The Hidden History of Coined Words. Based on meticulous research, Keyes has determined that successful neologisms are as likely to be created by chance as by intention. A remarkable number of new words were coined whimsically, he's discovered, to taunt, even to prank. Knickers resulted from a hoax, big bang from an insult. Wisecracking produced software, crowdsource, and blog. More than a few neologisms weren't even coined intentionally: they resulted from happy accidents such as typos, mistranslations, and misheard words like bigly and buttonhole, or from an unintended coinage such as Isaac Asimov's robotics. Many of the word coiners Keyes writes about come from unlikely quarters. Neologizers (a Thomas Jefferson coinage) include not just learned scholars and literary lions but cartoonists, columnists, children's authors, and children as well. Wimp, Keyes tells us, originated with an early 20th century book series on The Wymps, goop from a series about The Goops, and nerd from a book by Dr. Seuss. Competing claims to have coined terms like gonzo, mojo, and booty call are assessed, as is epic battles fought between new word partisans, and those who think we have enough words already. A concluding chapter offers pointers on how to coin a word of one's own. Written in a reader-friendly manner, The Hidden History of Coined Words will appeal not just to word lovers but history buffs, trivia contesters, and anyone at all who is interested in a well-informed good read"--

In HE SAYS, SHE SAYS, I SAY, AND NOBODY TELLS THE TRUTH, WHATEVER THAT IS, ON THE BACKSIDE OF SUFFOLK DOWNS, Melissa Shook, a documentary photographer, turns her observer's obsession into a narrative poem, written in the vernacular, providing a rare glimpse into a community of folks who work hard, long hours readying Thoroughbreds for racing. Seventy-years old and retired from teaching, she spent five summer months washing water buckets and mixing feed as a way of learning about humor under duress and danger, dedication to routine and physical labor, small economies and big gambles, winning and losing in this hardscrabble, often dangerous, always risky, business of racing on a small-time track. Writes George Kalogeris: "'Sweetie Heart, horse broke 'is leg. Putting him down now. Rider ok' says one of the characters in Melissa's Shook's beautiful, big-hearted book, so fully alive to the vernacular speech of the backside workers at Suffolk Downs. Shook's ear is perfectly attuned to the multiple registers of heartbreak and humor, humiliation and bewilderment, as well as to instances of gallant generosity, as these mostly immigrant workers face life at the track with the odds intractably stacked against them. It is a record of her time spent working at Suffolk Downs, among the hot-walkers, stall-muckers, and grooms, and it is written in a level voice so intensely and precisely concentrated upon the voices of others, and focused upon the brute facts of existence, that it generates deep emotion by its sheer selfless immersion. But the real story of the story of the backside at the racetrack is our sense of a guiding hand composing her felicitous art: wise, wry, at times desperately laconic, and never a whiff of pretension. Melissa Shook's book speaks the local idiom of authenticity and connection."
