Multicultural Spanish Dictionary - How everyday Spanish differs from country to country by Agustin Martinez, Editor. Schreiber Publishing, 51 Monroe Street, Suite 101, Rockville, MD 20850. spbooks@aol.com. schreiberNet.com 
"Is Spanish one language?
Yes and no. A grapefruit in Guatemala is una toronja. In Argentina it is un pomelo. A waiter in Mexico is un mesero; in Uruguay, un mozo. In Spain eyeglasses are gafas; in Cuba, espejuelos. The list goes on and on.
This dictionary tells you what all the others don't. It guides you through the many variations of Spanish and helps you identify and use everyday Spanish like a native.

Read Chinese Without Knowing Chinese/A complete guide to Computer-aided Chinese Reading by George Kung. GeorgeKung.com, 31 Justin Street, Lexington, MA 02420. info@georgekung.com. www.GeorgeKung.com 
""Read Chinese Without Knowing Chinese" is the first publication to advocate the idea of reading text in a foreign language without knowing or learning the language.
Chinese written language is extremely difficult to learn. Its text does not consist of alphabetic letters, but is made up of characters built from strokes written in virtual rectangular boxes. One needs to memorize 3,000 characters and over 10,000 commonly used words to read newspapers. This takes native Chinese children 3 to 6 years to learn. For foreigners who do not use Chinese on a daily basis, the time needed is substantially longer.
This book takes another approach. It shows that using the latest translation and OCR (optical character recognition) technologies, with a few other tools and know-how, it is completely feasible for someone with no knowledge of Chinese to read and understand text written in Chinese. Using the techniques described, one can read not only electronic text from websites and emails, but text on printed materials such as magazines, books and newspapers, or even from posters and street signs."

RUSSIAN: Complete Language Guide by Elena Mironova. Telltale Publishing House, 8040 Gilespie St., Las Vegas, NV 89123. books@telltalehouse.com. TellTaleHouse.com 
" "Russian: Complete Language Guide is a trusted language-learning tool. The guide includes a key to the Cyrillic Alphabet, a helpful pronunciation key, and a great deal of useful language instruction. It also features an in-depth, foldout chart that outlines each of the Russian grammatical cases with examples of their usage and their many different conjugations.
Russian: Complete Language Guide can be an effective companion for any Russian language student wishing to develop his or her grasp of the language. The guide also offers a glimpse into the rich Russian culture through its inclusion of folktale-inspired illustrations by artist Ivan Bilibin.
I recommend that the University Bookstore take part in the distribution of this unique and thoughtfully crafted project, in an effort to make it increasingly available to those who will benefit from it."
