Moran's One Word Work
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
In our modern age of technological sophistication and media-fed rapidly deteriorating attention spans, Gabe Moran's "A Grammar of Responsibility" is a breath of fresh air. Not forgetting (as many of his contemporaries have) that brevity is the soul of wit, not necessarily education, Moran does the unthinkable (at least from a editor's point of view). He writes an entire book on the history and usage of the word "Responsibility". From its use in political pillowfights (I accept full responsibility), to its role in our view of the natural world (all rights must accompany responsiblities, Moran leaves no semantic stone unturned. In a world where the entire Vietnam war is condensed often into less than 20 pages, an in depth look at an often used and rarely pondered part of our vocabulary is a refreshing change. One which Moran has done exceedingly well
