Mankind has a distinct advantage over other terrestrial species: we talk to one another. But how did we acquire the most advanced form of communication on Earth? Daniel L. Everett, a "bombshell" linguist and "instant folk hero" (Tom Wolfe, Harper's), provides in this sweeping history a comprehensive examination of the evolutionary story of language, from the earliest speaking attempts by hominids to the more than seven thousand languages that exist today. Although fossil hunters and linguists have brought us closer to unearthing the true origins of language, Daniel Everett's...

ISBN: 9788378865018 / Polski / Twarda / 2020 / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 1-3 dni roboczych. Pasjonująca relacja ze zdumiewających doświadczeń i odkryć językoznawcy Daniela Everetta, w czasie gdy żył on wśród Piraha, niewielkiego plemienia Indian Amazońskich w centralnej Brazylii. Daniel Everett znalazł się wśród Piraha wraz żoną i trójką małych dzieci w nadziei, że nawróci ich na chrześcijaństwo, szybko jednak porzucił ten pomysł i wkrótce zaczął mieć obsesję na punkcie ich języka oraz jego kulturowych i językoznawczych konsekwencji. Książka jest swoistym apelem Everetta o zachowanie języków mniejszości. Uważa on język jako narzędzie kultury...

The Collapse of the Three Story Universe: Christianity in an Age of Science
ISBN: 9781484016732 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 126 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The purpose of this book is to try and present a series of images that will allow us to understand how it is indeed possible for an invisible being, God, to be part of our material reality, the universe, in an manner that is both significant and consistent with what we currently understand about that reality. This work is organized along theological lines, using theological categories from the Christian faith as a framework on which to paint this new image. This exploration also relies on contemplative practice and teachings as a method for examining reality, as the spiritual tradition will...

Language: The Cultural Tool
ISBN: 9780307473806 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "The most important--and provocative--anthropological fieldwork ever undertaken." --Tom Wolfe For years, the prevailing opinion among academics has been that language is embedded in our genes, existing as an innate and instinctual part of us. In this bold and provocative study, linguist Daniel Everett argues that, like other tools, language was invented by humans and can be reinvented or lost. He shows how the evolution of different language forms--that is, different grammar--reflects how language is influenced by human societies and experiences, and how it expresses their great variety....

Dark Matter of the Mind: The Culturally Articulated Unconscious
ISBN: 9780226526782 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 394 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Is it in our nature to be altruistic, or evil, to make art, use tools, or create language? Is it in our nature to think in any particular way? For Daniel L. Everett, the answer is a resounding no: it isn't in our nature to do any of these things because human nature does not exist--at least not as we usually think of it. Flying in the face of major trends in Evolutionary Psychology and related fields, he offers a provocative and compelling argument in this book that the only thing humans are hardwired for is freedom: freedom from evolutionary instinct and freedom to adapt to a variety of...
