A riveting account of the astonishing experiences and discoveries made by linguist Daniel Everett while he lived with the Pirah , a small tribe of Amazonian Indians in central Brazil. Daniel Everett arrived among the Pirah with his wife and three young children hoping to convert the tribe to Christianity. Everett quickly became obsessed with their language and its cultural and linguistic implications. The Pirah have no counting system, no fixed terms for color, no concept of war, and no personal property. Everett was so impressed with their peaceful way of life that he eventually lost faith in the God he'd hoped to introduce to them, and instead devoted his life to the science of linguistics. Part passionate memoir, part scientific exploration, Everett's life-changing tale is riveting look into the nature of language, thought, and life itself.

Highly recommended / Great Product
Color: White
I’m genuinely impressed with this trimmer, especially for the price. The design feels sleek and comfortable to hold, and the cordless charging dock is really convenient. I’ve used it for multiple areas and it works smoothly without pulling or irritating my skin. The ceramic blades feel gentle but still trim effectively, which is a huge plus for sensitive areas. I also like that it comes with different attachments and guard combs so you can customize the length depending on what you want. The waterproof feature makes it easy to use in the shower and cleanup is quick afterward. Battery life has been great so far and it charges fast. Overall, this is a versatile, beginner-friendly trimmer that’s easy to use, lightweight, and surprisingly high quality. Great value and definitely worth trying if you want something painless and convenient for everyday grooming.

Powerful little trimmer. It works on my husband's face, my crotch and any place you need a little less hair.

Doesn't always turn on
Color: Black
Sometimes I press the button, the light blinks once, and nothing happens. Then after several tries to turns on. Only the one button and it doesn't work.

Clean good
I was pleasantly surprised by how easy this trimmer is to handle. The design feels lightweight in my hand, and the gray color actually looks really sleek on my counter. The blades work smoothly without pulling, and it gives a neat trim without irritation. I like that it’s simple to clean and doesn’t take up much space in my drawer. The noise level is low enough that it doesn’t feel distracting, and the on/off button is placed in a way that makes it comfortable to use. It’s a straightforward tool that does exactly what I need, and it’s made my routine a lot quicker and more convenient.
