WW Norton & Co How Language Began: The Story of Humanity's
Book SynopsisAt the time of its publication, How Language Began received high acclaim for capturing the fascinating history of mankind’s most incredible creation. Deemed a “bombshell” linguist and “instant folk hero” by Tom Wolfe (Harper’s), Daniel L. Everett posits that the near- 7,000 languages that exist today are not only the product of one million years of evolution but also have allowed us to become Earth’s apex predator. Tracing 60,000 generations, Everett debunks long- held theories across a spectrum of disciplines to affi rm the idea that we are not born with an instinct for language. Woven with anecdotes of his nearly forty years of fi eldwork amongst Amazonian hunter- gatherers, this is a “completely enthralling” (Spectator) exploration of our humanity and a landmark study of what makes us human. “[An] ambitious text. . . . Everett’s amiable tone, and especially his captivating anecdotes . . . , will help the neophyte along.”— New York Times Book Review

St Augustine's Press A Study in Wittgenstein's Tractatus
Book SynopsisThe series, "Wittgenstein Studies", collects together many of the major texts of recent years, making available books that have proved relevant to the study of Wittgenstein. This title is from the second collection in the series. In this study of Wittgenstein's "Tractatus", Alexander Maslow tries to clarify some of its more obscure pronouncements and interpret the philosophy underlying the work as a whole. Influenced by the logical positivism of Mortiz Schlick, and by Russell and Ramsey, the author's interpretation is that Wittgenstein's basic philosophy is a kind of Kantian phenomenology. He also examines Wittgenstein's solipsism and mysticism.Trade Review"One of the earliest, most neglected, and most thorough works covering several important aspects of the Tractatus." - Plochmann and Lawson, 'Terms in their Propositional Contexts in Wittgenstein's Tractatus'
