Pilgrim in the Palace of Words

Some 6,000 languages are still spoken on the planet today, and author Glenn Dixon – an expert in socio-linguistics and a tireless adventurer – has travelled to the four corners of the earth to explore the way these languages create and mould societies.

With wit and humour, Dixon provides readers with a view in to his adventures from “Climbing the Tower of Babel” to searching “The Lost World of the Maya” as he moves toward a real understanding of how and why we communicate the way we do in the Global Village.
