Yes, that looks like it. Thanks! this from the review strikes me ~ His answer to the second question is the more interesting. He is sure the loss represents a disaster for humanity. It isn’t merely a reduction in diversity (like the loss of plant and animal species that is occurring at the same time and often for similar commercial reasons), or the destruction of culture that goes with destruction of language, but that we lose something more fundamental: the ways of looking at the world that each language represents. That's a lot of what drew me to the book. As we explore further reaches of the physical universe our internal universe seems to contracting. I don't see how we can expand and grow and language grows smaller, the expression of our spirit comes through in language and art. And art seems to be contracting, also, as more and more is deemed unacceptable and those who express through pictures are either shunted aside or go along with acceptable expressions.
