Michele Berdy's new book on Russian words and idioms

[Lynn Visson]

Colleagues teaching and studying Russian should thoroughly enjoy Michele
Berdy's new book, "The Russian Word's Worth," just out in Russia,  published
by GLAS and distributed by Northwestern University Press in the US. Nearly
500 pages long, it contains some  five years of Mickey's  "The Word's Worth"
columns, more than 200 of them, from the *Moscow Times *dealing with dozens
of difficulties in Russian for English speakers, and dozens of idioms.  The
book is organized by themes with mini-intros and a  detailed index. Many of
us have been reading these columns for years, and it will be great for
teachers and students to finally have them all in one place.  It's available
on Amazon. (PS -  I have no vested or commercial interest whatever in this
book - just think that it will be invaluable for everyone!)
