Bücher von Daniel Nettle

Suggests links between disappearing linguistic diversity and environmental issues. The authors argue that it is part of the larger picture of the world's collapsing ecosystem, and that the causes of language death, like those of ecological destruction, lie at the crossroad of ecology and politics.

Writing for the general reader, Daniel Nettle tackles the question of why madness exists. He shows that there is, as long suspected, a link between madness and creative genius. He thus argues that the traits that lie behind madness have evolved because they have psychological benefits as well as psychological costs.
