From the huge response to Lost for Words, it's clear that many of us share John's strong feelings about the use and misuse of the English language. Not because we want to split hairs (or infinitives), but because how we use words reveals so much about the way we see the world.

Questioning our assumptions, puncturing our illusions, and illuminating the way we live now, Beyond Words speaks volumes.
