Description: This issue of Haegele's etymological zine is about "Scientific German," called such because of German's linguistic precision. With one word on each page, Haegele writes the literal meaning of each German word, such as skull: "die Hirnschale," brain + shell and contrasts it with clip art of women in art deco outfits, thereby deconstructing the literal meanings of German words.
Notes: Cover title.
