Review of 'This Language, A River' on 'Goodreads'

Our language is in flux and has ever been. Smith demonstrates its historical change and then--in the best section--surveys the language's polymorphism across the globe, citing examples for each case. My one complaint is the text provided is not naturally searchable because it is scanned PDF. What a hassle.
