The Careful Voter's Handy Guide to Language Pollution

Few books can prepare you better for understanding of the daily flood of announcements and explanations from government officials, corporate executives, and assorted do-gooders and special pleaders; the convolutions of political oratory; and the latest deep thinking from the academic world and other oracular centers.

This new book by James Baar explores the modern phenomena of language pollution that is invading all public discourse; desensitizing rationality with a bath of euphemisms and spintalk, making common sense discourse about the real world impossible.

The Careful Voter's Handy Guide defines more than a dozen epidemic-grade strains of language pollution including bravebabble, willietalk, bizschoolspeak and plastertalk. It also provides a highly-current Language Pollution Dictionary that is a necessary companion for anyone trying to make sense of what passes for serious debate of issues at the end of the 20^th Century.

Price of The Careful Voter's Handy Guide: only $3.00. We will email it to you in the file format of your choice. To order, see Books in our OmegaCatalogue.
