Description

Drawing on the collective wisdom of over 280 languages, this book is arranged by theme so that you can compare attitudes all over the world to such subjects as food, the human body and the battle of the sexes. Here, you find not only those words for which there is no direct counterpart in English, but also those that sound confusingly the same.
