Is it an artifact of our culture or written in our very DNA? In recent years, the leading linguists have seemingly settled the issue: all languages are fundamentally the same and the particular language we speak does not shape our thinking in any significant way. Guy Deutscher says they're wrong. From Homer to Darwin, from Yale to the Amazon, and through a strange and dazzling history of the color blue, Deutscher argues that our mother tongues do indeed shape our experiences of the world. Audacious, delightful, and provocative, \u003ci\u003eThrough the Language Glass\u003c\/i\u003e is destined to become a classic of intellectual discovery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Picador USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/30\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780312610494\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.20w x 1.02d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/02\/2011 pg. 32\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Guy Deutscher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36635928297628,"sku":"9780312610494","price":17.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_0d87a836-e3c1-4214-8719-54e9e80e6a7f.jpg?v=1603840918","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/through-the-language-glass-why-the-world-looks-different-in-other-languages-9780312610494","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
