We all learn at least one language as children. But what does it take to learn six languages...or seventy? In Babel No More, Michael Erard, "a monolingual with benefits," sets out on a quest to meet language superlearners and make sense of their mental powers.

The amazing story behind the greatest newspaper men to ever live, Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst, lies primarily hidden with their reporters who were in the field.

"In letteratura è come in teologia: valgono le sole domande. O meglio: è l'intelligenza delle domande che costringe a elaborare risposte alla loro altezza. Se chi si appresta a leggere questo libro spera di trovare enunciati regole e precetti più o meno ovvii su come scrivere cosa, allora forse è meglio che abbandoni il libro e l'idea di diventare scrittore. Il talento, l'istinto sono necessari. Vanno educati, certo, ma sono necessari. Uno scrittore autentico i fondamentali li avverte ben prima ancora di elaborarli in concetti."

People do bad things. They misspeak, mislead, and misbehave. They lie, cheat, steal, and kill. Often, afterward, they apologize. But what makes a successful apology? Why does Joe Biden's 2007 apology for referring to Barack Obama as "articulate and bright" succeed, whereas Mel Gibson's 2006 apology for his anti-Semitic tirade fails? Naturally, the effectiveness of an apology depends on the language used, as well as the conditions under which we offer our regrets.
