Celebrating the centenary of the Concise Oxford English Dictionary
The first edition of the Concise Oxford Dictionary was published in 1911. Edited by the brothers Henry and George Fowler from their cottage in Guernsey, and drawing on the work that had been done for the great historical account of English, the Oxford English Dictionary, the COD was not simply an abridgement: it was a completely different kind of dictionary, one that sought primarily to cover the language of its own time.
A century on, the Concise Oxford English Dictionary remains a bestseller. Look around your home or workplace and you’ll probably see a copy of the Concise. For generations the Concise has been the standard family work of reference. We are publishing the latest, 12th edition of the dictionary on August 18th, 2011, alongside a limited-edition facsimile of the 1911 edition.

Cultural Strategy: Using innovative ideologies to build breakthrough brands
Cultural Strategy provides a step-by-step guide for managers and entrepreneurs to building businesses based upon innovative ideologies: ideas that leverage social change and needs. Holt and Cameron analyse a series of classic cases that relied on these bold, innovative strategies: Nike, Marlboro, Starbucks, Jack Daniels, vitaminwater, and Ben & Jerry's. They then demonstrate how the theory works as an actionable strategy model, drawing upon their consulting work. They show how cultural strategy takes start-up brands into the mass market, overcomes "better mousetraps" wars in a technology driven category, effectively challenges a seemingly insurmountable incumbent, and develops a social innovation.

They are changing the world, these modern nomads, and they are, in many ways, improving it – depending of course on one’s definition of progress.”

The Humans Who Went Extinct: Why Neanderthals died out and we survived, by Clive Finlayson
Why did the Neanderthals go extinct?
Neanderthals – no less than another kind of human – died out in their last outposts 28,000 years ago. Thanks to cartoons and folk accounts, we have a distorted view of these other humans. We think of them as crude and clumsy, driven to extinction by the lithe, smart modern humans that came out of Africa 100,000 years ago.
But was it really as simple as that?

Bible: The Story of the King James Version 1611-20, by Gordon Campbell
In 1604 King James I convened a conference to discuss the grievances of Puritan members of the Church of England. On day two, the proposal was put forward ‘that there might be a new translation of the Bible’ on the grounds that previous translations ‘were corrupt, and not answerable to the truth of the original’. The idea found favour with the King, and so began a colossal 7-year task for 50 of England’s greatest scholars. Their work – a translation authorized ‘to be read in churches’ – has had an unmatched impact of the English-speaking world ever since.
