They Have a Word for it

They Have a Word for it by Howard Rheingold is a 2000 Arts & Creativity book written by TED speaker Howard Rheingold, paired here with the talk they gave.

They Have a Word for It takes the reader to the far corners of the globe to discover words and phrases for which there are not equivalents in English. From the North Pole to New Guinea, from Easter Island to Tibet, Howard Rheingold explores more than forty familiar and obscure languages to discover genuinely useful (rather than simply odd) words that can open up new ways of understanding and experiencing life. --Sarabande Books.
