Lower Mark Antony.
A DICTIONARY OF SURNAMES.
Ware: Wordsworth 1988. 443 pp large 8vo 9 1/2" H. "The origins of words are always a fascination and the origins of our own names can tell us a great deal of our family history. But the twists and turns of dialect and other influences often obscure the meanings and a good eye and ear and a wide knowledge of places crafts professions and languages are needed to unravel many family names. A sense of humour helps too and here Mark Antony Lower takes his place in the tradition of observers of linguistic drift and foible such as Dr. Johnson H.W. Fowler Eric Partridge and Ernest Gowers. The book is full of fascinating anecdote and detail and the introductory chapters cover American nomenclature Scots Irish and Welsh and tables of statistical distribution. As for Mr. Lower's engaging style and unstuffy approach one need only look at his entry for surnames beginning with the letter 'X' where he admits to following the example of a Northern naturalist 'who introduced into his work a chapter entitled 'Concerning Owls in Iceland' the chapter itself consisted of the words 'There are no Owls in Iceland'. Mark Antony Lower's 'Dictionary of Surnames' is a book of endless delight full of both scholarship and surprises." Light browning to pages moderate browning to top and fore-edge of textblock light edge wear minor wrinkling at top of spine. Dust jacket has light edge wrinkling two 3" creases at top of front panel. . Reprint. Hard Cover. Very Good-/Very Good-. Wordsworth Hardcover

Ludtke Melissa
On Our Own: Unmarried Motherhood in America
Random House Inc 1997. Book. Fine. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Fine condition. Stated First Edition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $25.95. NO writing or tears inside book. Tight spine clean pages. 467 pages. Synopsis The U.S. has experienced a dramatic increase in births to unmarried women in recent decades--from 4% of births in 1950 with most of the babies then adopted to more than 30% today. Melissa Ludtke's book is the only in-depth analysis of this radical change in family formation to compare and contrast the lives of these mothers of varying ages and economic circumstances. Publishers Weekly Nearly one-third of U.S. children are now born to single mothers according to Ludtke a former correspondent for Time magazine in this nonjudgmental informative study. The 45-year-old single woman here contrasts the stories of single teenage mothers with older career women who raise children without husbands. Limiting her interviews to several dozen women living near her home in the Cambridge Mass. area Ludtke does not offer a definitive analysis but her skilled anecdotal research buttressed by academic studies gives a human face to a social phenomenon that deserves attention. Because teenage mothers often lack financial resources their daily lives can differ significantly from those of older single mothers. But Ludtke notes similarities as well between the two groups such as the feeling that motherhood will make their lives more meaningful and a concern that their offspring relate to positive male figures. Ludtke argues poignantly that adolescent pregnancy will be prevented only when adults develop "the patience and perseverance to stick with troubled youth across the span of their adolescence." Biography Melissa Ludtke drew national attention in 1978 when as a reporter for Sports Illustrated she took Major League Baseball to court to gain women reporters equal access to athletes' locker rooms. She then became a correspondent for Time where her articles including more than twenty cover stories focused on family and children. While researching and writing this book she had fellowships at Harvard Radcliffe and the Columbia School of Journalism. Ludtke is a graduate of Wellesley College and lives in Cambridge Massachusetts.
