About this title

Synopsis

Comprises some 1,200 alphabetical entries that define, identify, and explain names, terms, and concepts important to 20th century design. Includes 200 b&w illustrations. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Reviews

Is it Briton or Britisher, Hoosier or Indianian/an? What is someone from Rio de Janeiro called? Why Chicagoan but then Coloradan? These questions are answered in entries for countries, states, and cities, often with reference to authorities (mainly local newspapers, historians, and popular columnists; there are no rules nor even consistent practice), and usually up-to-date (we do have African-American). "Demonyms" (author Dickson's coinage) are the names and adjectives derived from place names; thus, Briton (not Britisher) and also British and Britannic. Certainly useful in reference, and an added copy for circulation might be justified.
