TALK TALK TALK, An Investigation Into The Mystery of Speech, by Jay Ingram, discusses the sociology of the dynamics of conversation, how men and women have different propensities for interrupting, and even the proper use of "you know." And he delves into the mystery-riddled physiology of "talking".
While we now know that certain areas of the brain seem to control specific aspects of speech—from articulating words to creating meaningful sentences—how do scientists explain the extraordinary case of the young stroke victim who lost only the words for fruits and vegetables? Is it possible that the ability to talk is actually encoded in our genes, as some scientists believe? Impeccably researched, lively and accessible, Talk, Talk, Talk is a book you won't be able to keep quiet about!
