The Years of Talking Dangerously
Geoffrey Nunberg, Professor, School of Information, UC Berkeley; Senior Researcher, Center for the Study of Language and Information at Stanford University; Author, The Years of Talking Dangerously
Language can inspire and move people. But it can also deceive and deflect. Our new president has often been praised for his ability to use language, while our former president was accused by opponents of "linguistic trickery." Nunberg takes a closer look at our nation's political and social discourse over the past several years, revealing what it says about us.

Cost: $12 members, $18 non-members
Also know: Bookseller: West Portal Books
