ReviewsSuch a delightful work... overflowing with good nature and good will towards the humblest and most friendless of our race., When I first became interested in cultural evolution, cognitive revolutionaries would say that Noam Chomsky had proved that an innate language acquisition device was the key to linguistics. Daniel Everett is a leader of the counterrevolution that is putting culture and cultural evolution back at the center of linguistics, and cognition more generally, where I think it belongs. How Language Began is an accessible account of the case for a culture-centered theory of language., The story sings from end to end like a happy man going home.... It is lyric and exclamatory, from the first exclamatory words of it. It is strictly a Christmas Carol., I like and admire... the exquisite scenes about the clerk and Tiny [Tim]; I thank the writer in my heart of hearts for them., Very few books on the biological and cultural origin of humanity can be ranked as classics. I believe that Daniel L. Everett's How Language Began will be one of them., Who can listen to objections regarding such a book as this? It seems to me a national benefit, and to every man or woman who reads it, a personal kindness., An ambitious text.... Everett's amiable tone, and especially his captivating anecdotes from his field studies in the Amazonian rain forests, will help the neophyte get along. It's worth it in the end to get a glimpse of conversation through his eyes, as humanity's most impressive collective invention.

Christmas Carol----Historically detailed !
Wow!!! I'm a Dickens fan and a founding member of the Cleveland, Ohio chapter of the Dickens Fellowship. I thoroughly enjoyed reading/studying/examining this volume as it has provided me with numerous details, specific references, "background" explanations to enhance my understanding and appreciation of Mr. Dickens' "Christmas Ghost story" . I highly recommend this book for anyone who seeks more than superficial knowledge of Mr. Scrooge, et al !!!!!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Must read for Dickens fans
If you like Charles Dickens and the literature of his era, you will love this book. Archaic terms used in the original manuscript, as well as the historical perspective in which it was written, are all key components of this volume. A must read!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
