Recenzii

Astonishingly readable
Perceptive, amusing and intelligent
No one writes about language as clearly as Steven Pinker, and this is his best book yet
Immensely readable and stimulating. Pinker is a master at making complex ideas palatable
Awesome ... Pinker writes lucidly and elegantly, and leavens the text with scores of perfectly judged anecdotes, jokes, cartoons and illustrations
