From Morris,
Books that I can
recommend:
The Adventure of English by
Melvyn Bragg
The History of English
through the ages and how words were added from virtually every major country in
the world. Also the distinction between UK English and American English. The
English language must still be updated by the latest scientific and computer
terminology which is changing daily. Indeed it a very fascinating account of a
language spoken globally.
Accomodating Brocolli in the Cemetary (or why can't anybody Spell) written by
Vivian Cook. Published by Profile Books London.
Electric
Universe (the shocking true story of electricity.) Written by David
Bodanis and published in the USA. and the UK.
Leonardo da
VIinci (Flights of the Mind) by Charles Nickoll. A complete
biography of his life.
