  • On Second Thoughtby Wray Herbert

    Crown Publishing Group 2010; US$ 11.99

    Our lives are composed of millions of choices, ranging from trivial to life-changing and momentous. Luckily, our brains have evolved a number of mental shortcuts, biases, and tricks that allow us to quickly negotiate this endless array of decisions. We don’t want to rationally deliberate every choice we make, and thanks to these cognitive rules of thumb, we don’t need to.    Yet these hard-wired shortcuts, mental wonders though they may be, can also be perilous.   They can distort our thinking in ways that are often invisible to us, leading us to make poor decisions, to be easy targets for manipulators…and they can even cost us our lives.    The truth is, despite all the buzz about the power... more...

  • The Symbolic Foundations of Conditioned Behaviorby Charles R. Gallistel

    Lawrence Erlbaum Associates 2002; US$ 62.50

    Amidst intense discussions among researchers in animal learning about the decline of behavioralism and rise of cognitivism, Gallistel (Rutgers U.) and Gibbon (Columbia U.) argue that the two approaches complement each other.

  • Extraordinary Knowingby Elizabeth Lloyd Mayer

    Bantam Books 2007; US$ 11.99

    In 1991, when her daughter’s rare, hand-carved harp was stolen, Lisby Mayer’s familiar world of science and rational thinking turned upside down. After the police failed to turn up any leads, a friend suggested she call a dowser—a man who specialized in finding lost objects. With nothing to lose—and almost as a joke—Dr. Mayer agreed. Within two days, and without leaving his Arkansas home, the dowser located the exact California street coordinates where the harp was found. Deeply shaken, yet driven to understand what had happened, Mayer began the fourteen-year journey of discovery that she recounts in this mind-opening, brilliantly readable book. Her first surprise: the dozens of colleagues who’d been keeping... more...

  • Competition and Variation in Natural Languagesby Mengistu Amberber; Helen de Hoop

    Elsevier 2005; US$ 114.00

    This volume combines different perspectives on case-marking: (1) typological and descriptive approaches of various types and instances of case-marking in the languages of the world as well as comparison with languages that express similar types of relations without morphological case-marking; (2) formal analyses in different theoretical frameworks of the syntactic, semantic, and morphological properties of case-marking; (3) a historical approach of case-marking; (4) a psycholinguistic approach of case-marking. Although there are a number of publications on case related issues, there is no volume such as the present one, which exclusively looks at case marking, competition and variation from a cross-linguistic perspective and within the context... more...

  • Experimental Pragmaticsby Ira A. Noveck; Dan Sperber

    Palgrave Macmillan Ltd. 2004; US$ 110.00

    How does our knowledge of the language on the one hand, and of the context on the other, permit us to understand what we are told, to resolve ambiguities, to grasp both explicit and implicit content, to appreciate metaphor and irony? These issues have been studied in two disciplines: Linguistic pragmatics and psycholinguistics, with only. more...
