Heir to the Enlightenment tradition, Chomsky has introduced new perspectives on language, the creative individual and the nature of human freedom in society.

Introducing Chomsky

They say human life is the most precious thing. The Collector doesn't agree. When world renowned archaeologist Philip Carlton suddenly and unexpectedly commits suicide, the police are called to investigate. Heading up the investigation is Detective Lucy O'Hara, a Forensic Linguist - and she immediately sees something is wrong with the suicide note. In her gut, she knows this was cold-blooded murder. Battling sceptical superiors and the Irish establishment, Lucy digs for the truth and begins to uncover a shadowy trade in ancient artifacts led by a mysterious figure known only as 'The Collector'. As Lucy works to uncover his identity, she soon realises she is up against a ruthless mastermind who is systematically eliminating anyone who might lead her to him. But Lucy won't give up and soon The Collector turns his attention to her... The Collector - the first in a gripping new series featuring Detective Lucy O'Hara.

Can it be that the human brain possesses an in-built faculty for language? Noam Chomsky, one of the most brilliant linguists of the 20th century, believes that it does- that there exists a 'universal grammar' common to all languages. Around the world children learn, in very similar ways, languages that seem entirely different. This is possible, Chomsky argues, because all human languages and their grammatical structures are linked in the human brain. Chomsky is controversial and yet highly influential, both in his pioneering work in linguistics and in his unrelenting critique of international power and his commitment to freedom and justice. These two 'Chomskys' are heirs to the Enlightenment tradition, and this book is the ideal introduction to them both.

In the autumn of 1849, Dr. John Drew, a Protestant minister and scholar, is struggling in his Irish rectory to complete the translation of a six-line cuneiform text from Persepolis. His wife Eliza is visiting her sister in London. Neither Eliza nor John Drew have been able, up to this point, to come to terms with the terrible loss of their son Edward. Now, isolated from one another, the past floods in. It becomes a question of how they will deal with this new reality when they meet again.
