HOW THE MIND WORKS

‘A model of scientific writing: erudite, witty and clear. An excellent book’
Steve Jones, New York Review of Books

‘A witty, erudite, stimulating and provocative book that throws much
new light on the machinery of the mind. An important book’
Kenan Malik, Independent on Sunday

‘He has a great deal to say, much of it ground-breaking, some of it
highly controversial … a primer in remarkable science writing’
Simon Garfield, Mail on Sunday

‘As lengthy as it is, it will produce a book in the reader’s head
that is even longer. For it alters completely the way one thinks
about thinking, and its unforseen consequences probably
can’t be contained by a book’ Christopher Lehmann-Haupt,
The New York Times

‘A landmark in popular science … A major public asset’
Marek Kohn, Independent

‘The humour, breadth and clarity of thought … make this work
essential reading for anyone curious about the human mind’
