Summary
This collection explores language and argues that all words are inescapably loaded - that is, highly charged, explosive, substantial, intoxicating, fruitful, and overbrimming - and that such loading is what makes language matter. The author casts her eye over terms from knowledge, belief, madness, interruption, genius, and celebrity to the humanities, general education, and academia.
