Reviews
-
...the book covers a wide scope of issues from economics to politics, from sociology to linguistics, from environmentalism to biology and so forth... It also goes without saying that nature and culture and, generally speaking, all forms of life are inseparably interwoven and that language, on the one hand, also manipulates and even controls it to a certain extent. It is a merit of the book that it makes the readership aware not only of that interdependence but also of the global threat, of the most urgent tasks resulting from it as well as of the role of language therein... This book is a valuable contribution to the discussion of ecology.
