Far From the Madding Gerund is a collection of some of the more interesting posts from the language-oriented blog, written mostly by Mark Liberman, a phonetics professor at the University of Pennsylvania, and Geoff Pullum, a linguistics professor at the University of California-Santa Cruz. With its witty, stylish writing and a title that sounds like Thomas Hardy does sci-fi, the book is even better than I thought it would be. <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/entertainment/books/15260217.htm" target="blank">www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/entertainment/books/15260217.htm</a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
