The Superior Person's Field Guide to Deceitful, Deceptive and Downright Dangerous Language
In his Superior Person's Book of Words and its two sequels, the incorrigible Peter Bowler did his best to spread confusion throughout the English-speaking world by encouraging his trusting readers to use obscure, sometimes preposterous, words for no other purpose than to impress (or conveniently befuddle) their peers. But he recently experienced a "Road to Damascus" conversion. Confronted by the damage being inflicted on his beloved Mother Tongue by the pretentious, euphemistic, obfuscatory, and self-aggrandizing cant now running amok in our military, corporate, and academic arenas, he is mounting a one-man campaign to return us to sanity. The Superior Person's Field Guide is a call for the return to simple, straightforward words that say what they mean and mean what they say. Most of us know that "downsizing" means that you're about to be fired, but have you ever heard its business-speak cousins "offshoreable" or "cash-flow episode"? With his customary wit and clear-sightedness, Bowler cuts a swath through the thickets of popular jargon, casting daylight on such linguistic deformities as "interrogate with prejudice" (that is, torture) and "unforeseen geological event" (a mining disaster). Impatient with euphemism, he examines ugly specimens forced into bloom in the interests of political correctness "waitperson," "developmentally challenged" designed to help the squeamish avoid direct confrontation with the simple facts of sex and disability. Here are circumlocutions that make the disagreeable seem agreeable, the unacceptable acceptable, and here is Peter Bowler, as always, trying to set the record, and the English language, straight..

Castro, el desleal (Castro the Deceitful)
This book, which could easily be defined as an authentic political thriller, is in reality, the result of many long years of research into the life of Fidel Castro. Hundreds of interviews and unedited testimonies paint a portrait of Fidels intimate life, uncovering his love affairs ―official as well as the ones he kept secret, leading us to the very core of his hatred towards homosexuals and the social structure of a family. It also covers topics such as Castros ties to the Soviet secret service, his terrifying system of repression, the death of Che Guevara, Cubas role in Chiles coup dÉtat and the death of Allende, and U.S. policies with respect to the island. Description in Spanish: Este libro, que se podría definir como un auténtico thriller político, a medio camino entre la canción de gesta y el realismo mágico, es el resultado de largos años de investigaciones, de cientos de entrevistas y de la recopilación de testimonios inéditos sobre Fidel Castro. El periodista Serge Raffy desvela detalles de su vida personal, de sus amores, tanto los oficiales como los secretos, y rastrea las causas de su odio visceral hacia la familia y los homosexuales. Descubre las relaciones de Castro con los servicios secretos soviéticos, describe su aterrador sistema represivo, su actuación durante la 'crisis de los misiles; no elude hablar del asesinato de Kennedy o la muerte del Che, del papel de Cuba en el golpe de Estado en Chile que acabó con la caída y muerte de Allende, sobre el asunto Ochoa, o el miedo de Gorbachov de morir víctima de un atentado en Cuba, o de los tortuosos manejos de la política estadounidense respecto a la isla..
