I don't know about this book. More than 1/3 was a defense of why his views of the Pirahã language doesn't fit with the theories of Chomsky Linguistics. Mostly over my head. The parts of the Pirahã themselves were very interesting, but it's probably best this didn't make it...
Very useful post, Jerry. Tell me, please. Are the two part distinct enough so that a poor soul can just read the parts of the Pirahã themselves by themselves?

Some time linguistics can have adverse effects on my complexion.
