Synopsis
In our information-overloaded society, how can you ensure your words will be read over the next person's? The secret is "In a Word" - a book for journalists, critics, writers, bloggers, students and anyone else looking to get their message across more effectively. So much more than a dictionary or thesaurus, this book is designed to guide people to the exact word they need in order to articulate their message in the most inspired and impressive kind of way. Words are grouped under easy-to-navigate category headings. Lists include such things as 'defining terms' (analogy, dystopia, subterfuge...), 'character descriptions' (diva, impresario, rabble-rouser...), 'mythological creatures' (bunyip, griffin, sasquatch...), 'types of hats' (cloche, Stetson, yarmulke...), 'different types of speaking voices' (booming, sententious, tremulous...), famous book characters - and much more besides.
