YA-- For anyone not sure about the difference between, for instance, denotation and connotation, a gene and a chromosome, neurosis and psychosis, this is a helpful book. Randall takes several hundred word kinships whose meanings are inexact in the public mind and clarifies them. The enemy under her attack is vague meaning, blurred boundaries, and hence careless speech. However, she does not limit herself to untangling such often cross-tangled verbal siblings. She defines other words--familiar in use but of uncertain meaning to many--such as bass, baritone, tenor, contralto, mezzo soprano, and soprano. In addition, two appendixes give information not easily incorporated into the text, namely gods and goddesses in Greek and Roman mythology and a geological time chart. --Constance M. O'Hearn, R. E.
