<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>From "Geronimo!" to "holy mackerel!," Dunn and Aragons showcase interjectionslike readers have never seen them before.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>From <i>Geronimo!</i> to <i>gesundheit</i> to <i>haminahamina</i> to <i>holy</i> <i>mackerel</i>, and from <i>abracadabra</i> to <i>zoinks</i>, Mark Dunn and Sergio Aragonés show you interjections like you've never seen them before. <p/>Often thought of as unnecessary verbal fringe or simply linguistic decoration, interjections (<i>ahem</i>, <i>howdy</i>, <i>mamma</i> <i>mia</i>, <i>pshaw</i>, <i> tally-ho</i>, <i> whoop-de-do</i>) may well be the most overlooked part of speech in the English language. <i>ZOUNDS! A Browser's Dictionary of Interjections</i> focuses the spotlight on this most deserving (and sometimes most demented) grammatical group. A light-hearted look at more than 500 interjections, <i>ZOUNDS!</i> explores the origins of these essential words and highlights the contributions of these previously unheralded parts of speech. <p/>Perfect for both word lovers and the casual reader, <i>ZOUNDS! </i>brings together the linguistic talents of Mark Dunn, author of the award-winning novel <i>Ella Minnow Pea</i>, and the graphic hilarity of Sergio Aragonés, the legendary cartoonist and contributor to Mad Magazine, for a delightful romp through grammar, culture, and the English language. <p/>Famous interjections include: <p/>Eureka!<br>-Archimedes <p/> Badabing-badaboom<br>-Tony Soprano <p/>Stuff and nonsense!<br>-Alice, <i>Alice in Wonderland</i> <p/>Bah! Humbug!<br>-Scrooge <p/>Fiddle-dee-dee !<br>-Scarlett O'Hara <p/>Leapin' lizards!<br>-Little Orphan Annie <p/>Nanoo, nanoo<br>-Mork, from Mork & Mindy <p/>Dyn-O-Mite!<br>-Jimmie Walker, Good Times <p/>Bully!<br>-President Theodore Roosevelt</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Mark Dunn</b> is a lifelong word lover and the author of <i>Ella Minnow Pea</i> (nominee for Book Sense Adult Fiction Book of the Year, and winner of the Borders Original Voices Awards for fiction), <i>Welcome to Higby</i> (short listed by <i>Publishers Weekly</i> as one of the best novels of the year), and <i>Ibid: A Life</i>. He makes his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico. <p/><b>Sergio Aragones</b> is a legendary contributor to <i>Mad</i> Magazine, where his work has appeared in every issue since 1963.
