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 7,000 languages that exist today.

Fascinating
Revisado: 11-26-18
This book changed how I think about language. The performance was very engaging, and I think a good job was done of presenting multiple sides to an argument though he always does so prove his own point. Over all I learned a ton and want to dig deeper into topics brought up.

China. Korea. Japan. Southeast Asia. How did Eastern civilization develop? What do we know about the history, politics, governments, art, science, and technology of these countries? And how does the story of Eastern civilization play out in today's world of business, politics, and international exchange?

Fantastic Lecture Series!
Revisado: 02-23-17
This course was a fantastic find, I enjoyed everything about it. The course was engaging and dis a great job of tying overall themes from the very beginning to the very end. I learned a ton listening to this and I can't wait to listen to more series through the Great Courses and Audible.
