Ooh… a new book is out by Steven Pinker. Say what you will about evolutionary psychology or Pinker himself, but i have to give the man props for making a set of scientific concepts accessible to the public in a readable form. In fact, i utterly enjoy reading his books, even when i disagree with approaches, because they are written in a way that allows me to mentally argue with them, even while sitting on a train; i don’t have to find a focused environment to deconstruct the simplest of ideas from obscure language. Hell, even in interviews he’s comprehensible.
