Daniel Everett's Language: The Cultural ToolEverett is putting out a challenge to Chomsky's theory of Universal Grammar.
Started reading Everett's book yesterday, looking forward to discussing with other voters!I hope the nominating/voting format returns after August's featured book.

Don't worry, the regular format will certainly return. August's featured book just provides an excellent opportunity to interact with an author. The alternative would be to have a featured book and one drawn from group members. While that's an attractive option, I'm aware of the possibility of over-burdening members with reading material.

Oh I think it's a great idea to have authors involved so I'm by no means suggesting an either/or situation ;)
May I recommend "The Forest Unseen" by David George Haskell. I did a review on my book list.
