Does Science Need a Global Language?

Scott L. Montgomery, CENTRAL, 501.4 M788d 2013

A fascinating book, about the spread of English around the world, and its dominance in science since WW2.

p103 Author meets Australian Aboriginal man Roger in Timber Creek. Both have two sons. Abo sons speak school English, Kriol, Warumungu, and Warimajarri. Montgomery's sons speak only English, "studying another in school". Roger gave me a humorous but pitying look. "Got to do better, mate! One never enough!"
