The author approaches his subjects from an interdisciplinary perspective, articulating his positions with insights from history, economics, linguistics, and philosophy. The result is a set of views that creates novel platforms for conversation and serves as a counter-push from the pull of the mainstream. (Source: http://books.google.com.ph/books) ER -
