Imagine a village where everyone "speaks" sign language. Just such a village -- an isolated Bedouin community in Israel with an unusually high rate of deafness -- is at the heart of Talking Hands: What Sign Language Reveals About the Mind. There, an indigenous sign language has sprung up, used by deaf and hearing villagers alike. It is a language no outsider has been able to decode, until now. A New York Times reporter trained as a linguist, Margalit Fox is the only Western journalist to have set foot in this remarkable village. In Talking Hands, she follows an international team of scientists that is unraveling this mysterious language. Because the sign language of the village has arisen completely on its own, outside the influence of any other language, it is a living demonstration of the "language instinct," man's inborn capacity to create language. If the researchers can decode this language, they will have helped isolate ingredients essential to all human language, signed and spoken. But as Talking Hands grippingly shows, their work in the village is also a race against time, because the unique language of the village may already be endangered. Talking Hands offers a fascinating introduction to the signed languages of the world -- languages as beautiful, vital and emphatically human as any other -- explaining why they are now furnishing cognitive scientists with long-sought keys to understanding how language works in the mind. Written in lyrical, accessible prose, Talking Hands will captivate anyone interested in language, the human mind and journeys to exotic places.Binding Type: Paperback

perfect fit for my CRV
Size: 26"+17"+B12", Style: J-HOOK
These wiper blades fit my Honda CR-V exactly as described. All three sizes were correct and clipped right onto the U/J hook arms without any hassle. Installation was quick and straightforward, even if you are not very handy.
Once installed, they wipe evenly with no streaks or skipping. They are quiet and make good contact with the windshield, even during heavier rain. The rear wiper works just as well as the front ones, which is a nice bonus since some sets overlook that.
Overall, this set feels like a solid OEM-style replacement at a good value. Works great and looks clean on the car. Very satisfied with this purchase.

Wipe away the tears of Mother Nature with these easy to install wipers
Size: 26"/16"/12", Style: J-HOOK
Great quality, they were easy to install and look like factory grade but seem more durable. No noise when wiping away the tears of mother nature. So yea, they resist rain and snow the tough kind from Maine. They work as they should and look great on my car. They haven't flung off yet so I say they're safe and you should buy them. Installed on a 2016 Subaru Crosstrek.
