DESCRIPTION:
Serious Reading: Attention Span Required! Michael Murry Like some of the other reviewers, I first read S. I. Hayakawa's classic "Language in Action" (later updated to "Language in Thought and Action") before wondering who Alfred Korzybski was and why Hayakawa spoke so highly of him. Eventually I bought "Science and Sanity" from the Institute for General Semantics and read straight through the book in two days.I am over 50 years old, so I learned to read and write well during my high school years, largely because I didn't watch much television.
