The Adventurer’s Glossary takes readers on their own semantic exploration. Through more than 500 terms, sourced from Shakespeare, military and biker jargon, hip hop and surfer slang, and beyond, Joshua Glenn considers meaning and selfhood. This diverting survey, paired with copious illustrations by cartoonist Seth, is introduced by Mark Kingwell.
