false <![CDATA[The Years of Talking Dangerously]]> 5817409 2 <DIV><DIV>“There has never been,” Nunberg writes, “an age as wary as ours of the tricks words can play, obscuring distinctions and smoothing over the corrugations of the actual world.... Yet as advertisers and marketers know, our mistrust of words doesn’t inoculate us against them.” These are the years of talking dangerously, and Nunberg is a sure guide to the pitfalls. With illuminating intelligence and devastating humor, Nunberg decodes the changing syntax of <I>Time Magazine</I>, explains why grammar buffs are drawn to sarcasm, and deftly unpacks the telling phrases of our national conversation, from <I>progressive</I> to <I>elite</I> to <I>change</I>—not to mention <I>national conversation</I> itself.</DIV> 5989421 4 5 2009 The Years of Talking Dangerously total:15|5:0|4:7|3:6|2:2|1:0| 15 50 67 6 5817409 1586487450 9781586487454 15 6 The Years of Talking Dangerously 3.33 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5817409.The_Years_of_Talking_Dangerously 3 0 false Tue Jun 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 17 12:44:38 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 23 10:36:17 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5817409 1586487450 9781586487454 15 6 The Years of Talking Dangerously 3.33 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5817409.The_Years_of_Talking_Dangerously 4 0 false Tue Jul 21 21:17:51 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 21 21:18:45 -0700 2009 5817409 1586487450 9781586487454 15 6 The Years of Talking Dangerously 3.33 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5817409.The_Years_of_Talking_Dangerously 3 0 false Wed Jul 08 12:24:21 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 05 10:17:12 -0700 2009
