"Who’s vetting Amazon’s site? Hugh Hefner?"


A friend emailed me about a search she did, looking for works on the Native American language Central Pomo. Here's what came up in Amazon!!!

    That should increase interest in California languages!

    Actually, this came up in the context of Paul newman's book on fieldwork that is the top find on the Amazon page. I wonder what he thinks of this.
    I hope the unintended consequence of this is a renewed interest in studying the indigenous languages of Northern California.

  5. A clear case of sexing up the evidence! We know all about that in UK after the Iraq war.
