Don't Sleep, There are Snakes: Life and Language in the Amazonian Jungle
Everett, Daniel (Dean of Arts and Sciences at Bentley University)
Although the author was a missionary, far from converting the Pirahas, they converted him. This title shows the slow, meticulous steps by which he gradually mastered their language and his gradual realisation that its unusual nature closely reflected its speakers' startlingly original perceptions of the world.
