Bagels, Bumf, and Buses. A Day in the Life of the English Language, Hardback/Simon Horobin

This book explores the fascinating origins of the words and phrases that we use every day. Simon Horobin takes the reader through a typical day's activities - waking up, eating meals, going to work - and looks at the etymology of the words we use to describe them, as well as how their meanings have changed over time.
