Judy Mann /; , The Washington Post "Tannen has a marvelous ear for the way real people express themselves, and a scientist's command of the inner structures of speech and humán relationship[s] A chatty, earnest and endearing book that promises here-andnöw rewards for taking the trouble to listen more carefully to what others are saying-and to be nfiore sensitive to what others are hearing." jonathan Kirsch Los Angeles Times "This book-written by a linguistics expert so you have to believe she knows what she s talking about-could be the Rosetta Stóne that at last deciphers the miscommunication between the sexes." Ruthe Stein -:>: ! San Francisco Chronicle "In You Just Don't Understand, Dr. Tannen, offers her readers something that resembles a fine Berlitz guidebook, one that explains the language and customs of the opposite gender. Anyone who wants to understand what that stranger pn the opposite side of the bed is actually saying certainly should consult this witty and sophisticated work." 1 Maggie Scarf Vissza
