Blending the spirit of Eats, Shoots & Leaves with the science of The Language Instinct, an original inquiry into the development of that most essential-and mysterious-of human creations: Language
Language is mankind's greatest invention-except, of course, that it was never invented. So begins linguist Guy Deutscher's enthralling investigation into the genesis and evolution of language. If we started off with rudimentary utterances on the level of man throw spear, how did we end up with sophisticated grammars, enormous vocabularies, and intricately nuanced degrees of meaning? Drawing on recent groundbreaking discoveries in modern linguistics, Deutscher exposes the elusive forces of creation at work in human communication, giving us fresh insight into how language emerges, evolves, and decays. He traces the evolution of linguistic complexity from an early Me Tarzan stage to such elaborate single-word constructions as the Turkish sehirlilestiremediklerimizdensiniz (you are one of those whom we couldn't turn into a town dweller). Arguing that destruction and creation in language are intimately entwined, Deutscher shows how these processes are continuously in operation, generating new words, new structures, and new meanings. As entertaining as it is erudite, The Unfolding of Language moves nimbly from ancient Babylonian to American idiom, from the central role of metaphor to the staggering triumph of design that is the Semitic verb, to tell the dramatic story and explain the genius behind a uniquely human faculty.Binding Type: Paperback

Great value; great products
Size: 8.45 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Anua products are great. They are reasonably priced, easy to use and make your skin look and feel lovely. I really enjoy the ease of these and the small amount you use with each application. They're non irritating and leaves your skin feeling moisturized without the heavy oily feeling.

My New Holy Grail! ⟡
Size: 8.45 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Finally Azelaic Acid that don't break me out. I've tried US skincare and they are nothing but harsh to my skin. I've tried korean skin care before but I guess I wasn't buying the product that targets my skin concerns. Now that I'm giving korean skin care a second go, it did not disappoint! I can see my skin improving! ⟡

So glad I finally tried this totally worth it!
Size: 8.45 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 8.45 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love Korean skincare and have been wanting to try Anua for a while, but I always found it a little on the pricier side. I was placing a Black Friday order and snagged this toner for $15, and I’m so glad I did! I originally wanted to try their azelaic acid serum, but since I already use a lot of serums, seeing it in toner form felt perfect — and it really is.
I’ve been using this morning and night, and my skin already looks brighter. I have a lot of acne scarring, and even in the short time I’ve been using this, I’ve noticed visible improvement. It’s super gentle, not harsh at all, and has a light, pleasant scent (which doesn’t seem like added fragrance).
My skin is extremely acne-prone, and this hasn’t broken me out whatsoever. If anything, it feels calming. So far I’ve truly enjoyed this product, and I definitely recommend it if you’re looking for something soothing that actually helps with texture, spots, and overall clarity!
