The Korowai of Irian Jaya
Just another wordy language study book. It might be useful for language teachers(!), as it provides detailed information on how to study language, but for learners the book is de trop and gets overwhelming. It is better to spend time studying the new language, than to go into a detailed study about studying languages. It is also getting less relevant today, as it is written in the age of CD-ROMs.
