"Like any other life-sustaining resource," says Marilyn McEntyre, "language can be depleted, polluted, contaminated, eroded, and filled with artificial stimulants." Today more than ever, language needs to be rescued and restored. Drawing on a wide range of sources, both critical and literary, Caring for Words in a Culture of Lies is an engaging address to everyone concerned with preserving the vitality and precision of the spoken and written word.

Bad or no editing
Revisado: 03-09-21
The lack of editing for quality affected my enjoyment of the book. Mispronouncing the names of Yeats and Donne, “casual” instead of “causal”, “booth” instead of “both” are just the errors that I remember. The reading intonation and expression were fine; good editing should have caught the mistakes.
Content of the book is really good and I enjoyed it, despite the distractions that happened throughout.
