From the authors who created the One Word movement, impacting schools, businesses, and sports teams around the world, comes a charming fable that can be read and shared by everyone. If you could choose only one word to help you have your best year ever, what would it be? Love? Fun? Believe? Brave? It’s probably different for everyone. How you find your word is just as important as the word itself. And once you know your word, what do you do with it? In One Word for Kids, bestselling author Jon Gordon—along with coauthors Dan Britton and Jimmy Page—asks these questions to children and adults of all ages, teaching an important life lesson in the process. This engaging, fully illustrated fable follows Stevie, a young boy falling asleep on the first day of school. His teacher gives the class an assignment: to find the one word that will help them have their best year ever. To discover their one word, they must look inside themselves, look up, and look out. At home, Stevie is upset because he can’t find his word. After his dad offers some helpful advice, Stevie excitedly begins the quest for his word. His search helps him discover a lot about himself, what he loves, and what is important to him. An easy read with a powerful message, One Word for Kids appeals to readers of all ages and is an ideal entry point into discussing a valuable lesson in a fun and engaging way.

What is this book about? Hello to all "vocabulary improvers" and "glossary geeks". About a year ago I set myself a goal - to make a note every time I see or hear any "strange" word, the meaning of which I hardly know, but which I definitely already heard (while reading a book, watching a movie, listening music, communicating with people, etc.). In addition, I became interested in the origin of some words that we constantly use (for example, we all know the words Deja vu, A priori, Cliche, Sabotage; but where did these terms come from and why are they called like that?). And so the idea of this book was born. Who is this book for? This book is for those who want to know the difference between Idiom, Axiom, Allegory, Oxymoron, and Euphemism; for those who want to understand, in simple terms, what is Diffusion, Osmosis, or Quantum leap; for those who would be interested to know that the term "narcissism" comes from the Greek myth about Narcissus (a young man, who fell in love with his own image reflected in a pool of water); for those who would be interested to know that when King Charles the Second was fleeing the Roundheads, he is reputed to have offered his helpers a "Carte Blanche". It was a blank sheet of paper with his signature at the bottom. The recipient of this could then write anything they wanted above the royal signature and it would be legal; for those who want to know the meaning and the history of Impressionism, Renaissance, Decadence, Expressionism or Baroque; who want to understand what is Bourgeoisie, Timocracy, or Feudalism; and even for those who want to know what the Large Hadron Collider is. Have a great time.

Excerpt from New Words Self-Defined This book is both less and more than a dictionary. It is less than a dictionary in containing not one formal definition; it is more than a dictionary in its attempt to quote only such sentences as make the meaning of each word stand self-revealed. It is one thing to memorize a definition, quite another to add the word defined at once to your vocabulary of actual use. The sentences here culled will, I believe, enable the reader to take each word or phrase by its handle and to use it, if he so desires. If he does not care to make personal use of these words, it should be remembered that most of them have found their way since 1914 into so many short stories, sketches, novels, news columns, and magazine contributions that a reading knowledge of them is essential to a proper understanding of current writing. They are not all new words, of course; but, when not new, they have at least been called into newness of service or represent new directions of popular interest or scientific research. They have, therefore, it is hoped, a value as material of history apart from their service to the student of language or their more immediate service to the general reader.

First published in 1987. The purpose of this volume has been to move beyond a collection of the most recent studies in the area of vocabulary learning. The contributors, and researchers who, although they may differ in their views on vocabulary acquisition and instruction, acknowledge that many of the same questions motivate their work. These questions and the way they have addressed have been included in order to emphasize these underlying commonalities, with the hope the relationships among contrasting perspectives will become more apparent.
