America in So Many Words: Words That Have Shaped America by Allan Metcalf (1997-11-01) by David K. Barnhart
Word etymologies fascinate me and this one hits the nail on the head (a fascinating word history all its own).
Il testo, disponibile anche in versione e-book scaricabile da Barnes & Noble (http://www.bn.com), compie un excursus sulle parole americane che hanno arricchito il vocabolario inglese. Copre dal 1555 (Canoe) al 1998 (Millennium Bug) e comprende circa 350 entrate, suddivise in periodi storici e consultabili tramite due indici: uno in ordine cronologico e uno in ordine alfabetico. Interessante.
