SynopsisShallow-Water Dictionary is both a celebration of the richness of our vernacular language and a lament on its passing -- and with it, the passing of the words we need to understand the shallow-water regions, which, once the primary landscape of America, now face extinction, both physical and linguistic. Beautifully written, Shallow-Water Dictionary is a thought-provoking and valuable addition to our knowlege of our changing landscape. Stilgoe's definitions are lyric explanations -- literary, etymological, historical, vernacular -- of more than 25 words and terms whose original meanings have been eroded by time.
