Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Amazon Basin is arguably both one of the least-known and the most complex linguistic regions in the world. It is the home of some 300 languages belonging to around twenty language families, plus more than a dozen genetic isolates, and many of these languages (often incompletely documented and mostly endangered) show properties that constitute exceptions to received ideas about linguistic universals. This book provides an overview in a single volume of this rich and exciting linguistic area. The editors and contributors have sought to make their descriptions as clear and accessible as possible, in order to provide a basis for further research on the structural characteristics of Amazonian languages and their genetic and areal relationships, as well as a point of entry to important cross-linguistic data for the wider constituency of theoretical linguists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first English translation makes avail­able to English-speaking readers a power­ful modern Mexican novel, first published in 1961. Fernando Benítez, well-known Mexican author, journalist, and winner of Mexico's 1968 best-book award, exploits a true but little-known incident by build­ing it into a tightly structured, tense, and tragic novel of social protest. The incident on which the novel is based is a bloody rebellion against the village feudal master touched off by joking comment on the "poisoning" of the water as one of Don Ulises's men is pushed into the plaza fountain. Feed­ing on itself, the rumor spreads that the "boss" has poisoned the local spring, and rebellion follows, with its violent and unforeseen consequences. The result is a frightening look at one of Mexico's major social problems and glaring ironies--that over fifty years after a revolution fought by the peasant and for the peasant, most rural groups are still living below the national economic standard.

Book excerpt: QUISIERA yo que, como me han mandado y dado larga licencia para que escriba el modo de oraci�n y las mercedes que el Se�or me ha hecho, me la dieran para que muy por menudo y con claridad dijera mis grandes pecados y ruin vida. Di�rame gran consuelo, mas no han querido, antes at�dome mucho en este caso; y por esto pido, por amor del Se�or, tenga delante de los ojos quien este discurso de mi vida leyere, que ha sido tan ruin, y que no he hallado santo, de los que se tomaron a Dios, con quien me consolar. Porque considero, que, despu�s que el Se�or los llamaba, no le tornaban a ofender: yo no s�lo tornaba a ser peor, sino que parece tra�a estudio a resistir las mercedes que su Majestad me hac�a, como quien se v�a obligar a servir m�s, y entend�a de s� no pod�a pagar lo menos de lo que deb�a. Sea bendito por siempre, que tanto me esper�, a quien con todo mi coraz�n suplico, me d� gracia, para que con toda claridad y verdad yo haga esta relaci�n, que mis confesores me mandan (y aun el Se�or, s� yo, lo quiere muchos d�as ha, sino que yo no me he atrevido) y que sea para gloria y alabanza suya, y para que de aqu� adelante, conoci�ndome ellos mejor, ayuden a mi flaqueza, para que pueda servir algo de lo que debo al Se�or, a quien siempre alaben todas las cosas. Am�n.
