This vital anthology opens a dialogue about language diversity and probes the importance of language in our identity and the ways in which it shapes us. In this collection of deeply personal essays, twenty-six writers explore their connection with language, accents, and vocabularies, and contend with the ways they can be used as both bridge and weapon. Some explore the way power and privilege affect language learning, especially the shame and exclusion often felt by non-native English speakers in a white, settler, colonial nation. Some confront the pain of losing a mother tongue or an ancestral language along with the loss of community and highlight the empowerment that comes with reclamation. Others celebrate the joys of learning a new language and the power of connection. All underscore how language can offer transformation and collective healing to various communities.

Analogies are far more complex than their SAT stereotype and lie at the very core of human cognition and creativity. Once we become aware of this, we start seeing them everywhere-in ads, apps, political debates, legal arguments, logos, and euphemisms, to name just a few. At their very best, analogies inspire new ways of thinking, enable invention, and motivate people to action. Unfortunately, not every analogy that rings true is true. That's why, at their worst, analogies can deceive, manipulate, or mislead us into disaster. The challenge? Spotting the difference before it's too late. Rich with engaging stories, surprising examples, and a practical method to evaluate the truth or effectiveness of any analogy, Shortcut will improve critical thinking, enhance creativity, and offer readers a fresh approach to resolving some of today's most intractable challenges."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://surrey.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S71C652810</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://surrey.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S71C652810</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pollack, John]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2014 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://surrey.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/652810071</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>How Analogies Reveal Connections, Spark Innovation, and Sell Our Greatest Ideas</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781592408498/MC.GIF&amp;client=surreyp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
