The Pun Also Rises: How the Humble Pun Revolutionized Language, Changed History, and Made Wordplay More Than Some Antics, by author John Pollack, is a funny, provocative and satirical examination of the words that we use, and the ways in which we use them. John Pollack, former World Pun Champion, and speechwriter for President Bill Clinton, clearly, and simply explains why puns are so important to our language and communication. Puns fundamentally changed the ways we use language, and directly led to the creation of modern society and culture. The reprinted edition was released on April 12, 2012, and published by Avery Books.
