Words

The book is devoted to what are at once simple and infinite: words and language. In five booklets, authors describe first words, explore how words endure, divide us, reveal how we think and reflect a changing society.

In five booklets, the authors describe first words, words that have survived against all odds, words that create ‘we’ and ‘them’, words that open doors to understanding of how we actually think, and words that show how society is changing.

Every year, an overarching theme is explored based on the research supported by the foundation. The yearbook consists of standalone booklets that are compiled into a box.
