Where does language come from? In this witty tour of human language, Steven Pinker shows that it all comes down to a basic human instinct. 'Groundbreaking, exhilarating, fun...Do yourself a favour and read it' -- John Gribbin, Sunday Times
The first ten paperback Penguin books appeared in 1935 costing 6d each (the price of a packet of cigarettes). Since then the Penguin list has developed enormously, but still aims to bring the best writing to the widest possible audience. Penguin Paperbacks now range from Booker Prize-winning contemporary authors, to mass market bestsellers, with successful history, biography and general non-fiction as well.
