This Folio Society volume presents Steven Pinker’s foundational work on linguistics and cognitive science, The Language Instinct. The text argues that language is a human biological adaptation rather than a cultural creation, blending cognitive neurobiology with evolutionary anthropology.
A history of the female convicts transported from England to Van Diemen's Land aboard the Duchess of Northumberland in 1852–1853 — the last convict ship to bring female prisoners to Tasmania before transportation to the colony ended. The book documents the women themselves — who they were, what brought them to transportation, and what happened to them after arrival in a colony where convict transportation was already winding down.
Little more than 70 years after the British settled Van Diemen's Land (later Tasmania) in 1803, the indigenous community had been virtually wiped out.
