Why our use of language is highly creative yet also constrained We use words and phrases creatively to express ourselves in ever-changing contexts, readily extending language constructions in new ways. Yet native speakers also implicitly know when a creative and easily interpretable formulation—such as “Explain me this” or “She considered to go”—doesn’t sound quite right. In this incisive book, Adele Goldberg explores how these creative but constrained language skills emerge from a combination of general cognitive mechanisms and experience. Shedding critical light on an enduring linguistic paradox, Goldberg demonstrates how words and abstract constructions are generalized and c...
“A great read… Goldberg is an excellent guide.”—Mario Livio, bestselling author of The Golden Ratio Physicist Dave Goldberg speeds across space, time and everything in between showing that our elegant universe—from the Higgs boson to antimatter to the most massive group of galaxies—is shaped by hidden symmetries that have driven all our recent discoveries about the universe and all the ones to come. Why is the sky dark at night? If there is anti-matter, can there be anti-people? Why are past, present, and future our only options? Saluting the brilliant but unsung female mathematician Emmy Noether as well as other giants of physics, Goldberg answers these questions and more, exuberantly demonstrating that symmetry is the big idea—and the key to what lies ahead.

From the hilarious host of The View, Whoopi Goldberg, a book that offers an alternative perspective on marriage and relationships–and why it’s okay if you don’t want the life everyone expects you to have. Marriage isn’t for everyone. Being alone can be satisfying. What’s most important is that you’re happy. Whoopi Goldberg has astonished us with her career as an actor, comedian, singer, author, political activist, and talk show host–now, she’s written a book that is sure to resonate with the millions of folks who struggle with relationship expectations, regardless of sexual orientation and gender. If Someone Says "You Complete Me," RUN! is as funny as it is affirming, written in Whoopi Goldberg’s signature voice.
