Since 2002, readers all over the world have been enjoying and learning from Michele A. Berdy`s column "The Word`s Worth" in The Moscow limes. In this quirky, opinionated, sometimes hilarious yet always thoughtful and authoritative guide, Berdy looks at Russia`s changing culture, social scene and everyday life through language and the art of translation. She discusses colloquialisms and youth slang, the language of politics, the workplace, and the often comical struggle of expats to feel at home in a foreign idiom and culture. The Russian Word`s Worth is essential reading for students and teachers of Russian, translators, Russia-watchers, expats, and anyone who wants to understand Russia today.

When this proposal first came across my desk, I was really excited. And even now that we’ve poured every ounce of blood, sweat, and tears we have into this book, I still have plenty of energy to jump for joy and scream at the top of my lungs. It’s just that good.
