AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Steven Pinker, How the Mind Works, The Folio Society, 2013
Introduction
Steven Pinker’s How the Mind Works is an influential, highly readable introduction to cognitive science and evolutionary psychology, asking why the mind has the features it does and what those features are for.
It is written for the intelligent general reader and ranges across perception, emotion, reasoning, social behaviour and meaning, aiming to connect everyday experience with modern scientific explanations.
Content
The book explores the mind as a set of specialised systems shaped by evolution, rather than a single general-purpose “blank slate” mechanism. Themes include how we see and think, why emotions and urges exist, how social life and family life shape behaviour, and how humans search for meaning.
Features
Hardback in slipcase; quarter-bound in buckram with Modigliani paper sides, set in Granjon, with colour illustrations, as described for this Folio Society production.
This copy includes the publisher’s slipcase and shows the Folio Society imprint and illustration credit in the photos. Still partly shrink wrapped.
Condition
Fine as new condition: clean page block and fresh interior shown, with no obvious markings or wear visible in the photographs. Slipcase present and still sealed in shrink-wrap.
Shipping
Will be shipped well protected with tracked shipping
