The Language Hoax by John McWhorter (2014, hardcover, mint)

John McWhorter takes aim at one of the most seductive ideas in modern linguistics: the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, which holds that the language you speak shapes the very way you perceive reality. Do Russian speakers really see color differently because their language distinguishes light and dark blue?.
