A Martian Earthly Dictionery: a Humorous Guide to Words, Phrases and Concepts Behind Human Language Dr Yavar Dehghani First edition

Imagine if some Martians land in the Earth and try to write a dictionary about humans based on their own observation. They would see things differently from humans as they observe it from outside using their own logic. This dictionary is the result of such an observation. This book tries to define the words in a different way from the ordinary dictionaries. It has a humorous and at the same time a criticizing look at the concepts behind each word we use. This dictionary shows the differences in cultures, traditions and rules around the world in a subtle way.
