    Newsweek hailed the achievement "a brilliant success," while the NY Times declared that the Compact was "something of a miracle...easier to work with than the original...an extraordinary bargain." Since then it has sold over 330,000 copies in the USA alone. But the Compact did not contain the Supplements to the OED which have been appearing at regular intervals since '72. Now, with their completion in '86, all four volumes are being produced in a single micrographically reproduced volume to be called Volume 3 of the Compact OED. So the vital addendum, which transforms the OED into an indispensable tool for the 80s, will be made available for the first time in this convenient format. The Supplement, called the "book of the century" by Phillip Howard in the London Times, contains all the new words that have come into use during the 20th century & includes as well the countless new meanings that have been applied to older words--over 69,000 entries altogether. It includes business terms, "computerese," space-age terminology, colloquialisms & coinages by modern authors ranging from Wm Faulkner & Virginia Woolf to Gore Vidal & Erica Jong. Words like G-man, yuppie, user-friendly, test-tube baby & Zen Buddhism rub shoulders with the most recent additions to subjects like law, medicine & engineering. The wealth of Americanisms in the Supplement also reflects a new direction for the dictionary. As editor Robert Burchfield explains it, "The center of gravity for the English language is no longer Britain. American English is the greatest influence on English everywhere." Volume 3 of the Compact is available in its own jndividual slipcase or combined with Volumes 1-2 in one slipcase. By a process of photoreduction four pages from the original work appear on each page of the Compact edition & both versions include a magnifying glass that makes the reduced type easily readable.

    Secret Teachings in the Art of Japanese Gardens explains the fundamental principles of this tradition and describes how those principles may be applied to a much wider range of environments than exists in Japan.In the first section the author draws on his own experience as an apprentice to a master gardener in Kyoto, as well as his considerable knowledge of Japanese classical texts, to present the garden design process in terms of three primary aesthetic considerations:Scenic effects-reproductions of appealing natural landscape forms.Sensory effects-varieties of scale, framing, rhythm, motion, and spatial quality.Cultural effects-the incorporation of allusions to classical literature, poetry, and painting.The final section comprises a complete translation of a classic gardening manual used by Buddhist monks in medieval Japan. Its rules for planting trees and setting rocks still make good design sense today, and the author includes numerous garden descriptions as examples of how ancient masters practiced their craft.This clear, authoritative work, fully illustrated with diagrams and photographs, elucidates much about the Japanese compositional sense. But at the same time it is a plea for a more holistic approach to landscape design-a recognition that a garden should conform to certain natural principles as well as meet the emotional needs of those who view it.
