With its unparalleled coverage of English slang of all types (from 18th-century cant to contemporary gay slang), and its uncluttered editorial apparatus, Cassell's Dictionary of Slang was warmly received when its first edition appeared in 1998. 'Brilliant.' said Mark Lawson on BBC2's The Late Review; 'This is a terrific piece of work - learned, entertaining, funny, stimulating' said Jonathan Meades in The Evening Standard.But now the world's best single-volume dictionary of English slang is about to get even better. Jonathon Green has spent the last seven years on a vast project: to research in depth the English slang vocabulary and to hunt down and record written instances of the use of as many slang words as possible.

I pray that this book will touch men and women of all ages and help individuals to focus on their inner beauty, and not their outer beauty. If we live our lives based on what we see, the light bulb would have never been invented. The inventors believed beyond what the physical eyes could see. This is a book about inner beauty, the Holy Spirit God has placed in each one of us as his creation. Man sees the physical physique as attractive and beautiful, while God defines beauty as what is in your heart. My goal is to help deliver someone from depression, despair, and discouragement. My prayer for you is to strive to be more like Christ's character, walking in love. I promise the road will not be easy. There will be roadblocks and challenges along your journey. But God is there with you. He is waiting for you to dedicate and surrender your life to him. Are you up for the challenge?
