The Blackwell Companion to Criminology provides a contemporary and global resource to scholarship in both classical and topical areas of criminology.

Microsoft Press Computer Dictionary defines terms and acronyms pertaining to all areas of computing, including hardware, networks, programming, applications, and databases. Unlike some dictionaries, it does not attempt to tackle companies, well-known commercial products, proprietary technologies (except some from Microsoft itself), and cyberculture. However, it does an excellent job of clarifying concepts and explaining abstruse technical terms in easy-to-understand language. This dictionary is a fine resource for either beginning or advanced computer users.

The Essential Gaelic (Scottish)-English Dictionary

In the present volume the aim has been to present as rich a cross-section of the Gaelic language as possible in the space available, giving due weight both to the new contexts of our times and to the riches of the past, as well as to both colloquial and more formal language.

The registers, styles and contexts represented in the dictionary include: vulgar, familiar, colloquial, formal and traditional words and expressions; examples drawn from modem poetry, modem and traditional song (an area that attracts many learners to the language), proverbs and sayings and, occasionally, placenames; the more common vocabulary of administration, politics and government, journalism and information technology also figures here.

The Essential English-Gaelic (Scottish) Dictionary:


This volume complements the same compiler's Essential Gaelic-English Dictionary, published by Birlinn in 2001. The intention has been to make available, in a format that is pleasant to handle, a generous proportion of "essential" or core Gaelic. For this reason much of the material given is common to the two volumes, and can thus be accessed from the starting point of either English or Gaelic.

Role Playing Games (more info from Wikipedia on what exactly this mysterious "RPG" is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Role-playing_game) are an interesting way to enliven English classes.
What more, the manuals often contain loads of information on the "real life".

"Palladium" is a fantasy RPG, and this publicatiopn is a special addition to the main manual.

This book is great for anyone who wants some information about middle-age weaponry, armors and castles. A lot of pictures gives you many details of each exotic armor or weapons.

Enjoy!

Anatomical terms are the vocabulary of medicine. Anatomy began as a descriptive science in the days when Latin was the universal scientific language. Early anatomists described the structures they saw in that language, comparing them to common and familiar objects, or borrowing terms from the Greek and Arabic masters before them. In anatomic terminology, common Latin or Greek words are used as such for any part of the body for which the ancients had a name. For many other structures, scientific names have been invented either by using certain classical words which appear to be descriptive of the part concerned, or commonly, by combining Greek or Latin roots to form a new compound term. Memorization of such terms without understanding their meaning can lead to mental indigestion.
