Language is a vital part of everybody's life, and nearly everybody is interested in knowing more about it. It's all too easy for people to lose interest, though, when the answers to their questions turn out to be long and technically challenging. "The Five-Minute Linguist: Bite-sized Essays on Language and Languages" takes a new approach to making accurate and up-to-date knowledge about language accessible in a non-academic way. It consists of 60 short chapters adapted from the weekly scripts of a popular U.S. public radio series on language. The scripts, contributed by a cross-section of leading professional linguists in America and abroad, address popular questions like "How many languages are there in the world?" "Is elementary school too early to teach foreign languages?" and "How good is machine translation?" They are written with a light touch that has been highly successful in reaching an audience of intelligent non-specialists. The book preserves that light touch while adding such features as an index (to help readers connect topics touched on in more than one chapter) and suggestions for follow-up reading.

« Amateur de sciences » comme on dit « amateur d’art », Bruno Latour a rédigé chaque mois pour la revue La Recherche son journal de passion en nous parlant de la science en train de se faire, du travail des disciplines, de la profession de chercheur, mais aussi de politique des sciences, de controverses, de vaches folles, de momie… D'un ton vif, tantôt allègre et tantôt polémique, ces courtes chroniques très imagées sont une initiation plaisante et synthétique pour ceux qui voudraient goûter à cette nouvelle approche des sciences sociales, la sociologie de la traduction, qui remet en cause l’ennuyeuse distinction entre « littéraire » et « matheux ».
