Recenzii
Insightful, engaging and based on superb scholarship, lightly worn
Erudite and engaging
He has hit on a marvellous idea and executed it with panache and laconic humour.
It is hard to imagine that anyone with even the slightest interest in science or language will fail to find this book a treat
Perceptive ... insightfully and engagingly written, a masterful mix of intelligence and style. He illuminates an important side of science with academic rigor, but without a trace of academic obfuscation.
