A Little Encyclopaedia of Phonetics
This book is aimed at first-year students of Phonetics. It is based on a book I wrote which was published in 1992. The book, which had the title
Introducing Phonetics, has now been deleted from the publisher's list. The title was misleading: this is not an introduction to Phonetics but a series of short explanations of technical terms used in the subject. I have, in fact, written what I hope is a truly introductory textbook on Phonetics for Oxford University Press in the series
Oxford Introductions to Language Study, edited by Henry Widdowson, which was published in 2001. Its title is
Phonetics.

Fans of Bob Dylan have a multitude of choices when it comes to biographies and retrospectives, but author Michael Gray outdistances them all with this voluminous collection of all things Dylan.
Over the course of 823 pages Gray considers everything from railroad imagery in Dylan's songs to his use of nursery rhymes, covering the topics thoughtfully and thoroughly.
While Gray is certainly a fan, it's this impartiality that fuels the book and gives it weight. Insightful and entertaining, Gray's tome will broaden appreciation of the artist, his influences and his legacy.
Gray offers a detailed volume featuring entries related to Dylan's life, artists who influenced him and were influenced by him, musical styles he created, and background stories of specific Dylan songs and recordings.
Most of the entries are sketches of musicians, although Gray includes actors, authors, and other nonmusicians. These entries provide brief biographies and then explain how the people are connected to Dylan: how they worked with him, influenced or were influenced by him, and which of his songs they performed or recorded.
This makes for unique entries, such as Interviews and the myth of their rarity (in which he claims Dylan actually averaged one interview per month over 40 years) and Dylan being "bored" by his acoustic material 1965-66, the myth of. In fact, the entire book is written in a refreshingly relaxed manner, as befits a music critic and fan.
A Smaller Classical Dictionary of Biography, Mythology, and Geography All names have been inserted which a young person would be likely to meet with at the commencement of his classical studies; and only those have been omitted which occur in later writers, or in works not usually read in schools.
The mythological articles have been illustrated by drawings from ancient works of art.
Care has been taken not to presume too much on the knowledge of the reader.
