 Steven Pinker
Steven Pinker Steven Pinker discusses The Stuff of Thought. One of the world's leading cognitive scientists, Steven Pinker asks audacious questions about the human mind... then boldly sets out to answer them. Recently named one of TIME magazine's 100 Most Influential People in The World, he is enormously popular in the media and highly respected in scientific circles. Known for his verve, his wit, and his profound ideas -- many of them explained by referencing pop culture -- Pinker is a brilliant speaker who helps non-specialists understand the science behind human thought and action. His latest book, The Stuff of Thought, shows how our words reflect the thoughts we think, the emotions we feel, and the relationship we hold. (jlelliott)… (more)

Steven Pinker for The Stuff of Thought Steven Pinker , The Stuff of Thought. Author: Steven Pinker, Bestselling Author of The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial of Human Nature, appeared on The Colbert Report and here is a hyperlink so that you can watch it. Steven Pinker is the Johnstone Family Professor of Psychology and Harvard College Professor at Harvard University. He is the author of seven books, including The Language Instinct, How the Mind Works, Words and Rules, and The Blank Slate. He lives in Boston and Truro, Massachusetts.
www.ComedyCentral.com/videos/index.jhtml?videoId=81914 Title: The Stuff of Thought: Language as a Window Into Human Nature, $16.00 Softcover, ISBN 9780143114246, On Sale Date: September 01, 2008. The Stuff of Thought marries the two topics of Steven Pinker’s earlier Bestsellers: language (The Language Instinct, Words and Rules) and human nature (How the Mind Works, The Blank Slate). It presents entirely new material, while written in the style that made those books famous: lucid explanations of deep and powerful ideas, presented with irreverent wit, elegant style, and a deft use of examples from popular culture and everyday life. It is a brilliantly crafted and highly readable work that will appeal to readers of everything from The Selfish Gene and Blink to Eat, Shoots & Leaves. Steven Pinker, a Harvard professor and one of TIME magazine’s “100 Most Influential People in the World Today,” sealed his reputation as a great explainer when he was asked on “The Colbert Report” to explain how the brain works in five words or less —and did it.* Now, in his latest New York Times Bestseller, the two-time finalist for the Pulitzer Prize shows off this gift again in a book that explains the mysteries of human nature in a completely new way—by exploring how we use words. *Brain cells fire in patterns. What: Steven Pinker will talk about his new book, his life, his work, answer audience questions and he will autograph copies of his new book purchased from Rainy Day Books, on our website and / or at our Author Event. When: Tuesday, September 09, 2008, 7:00 PM Where: A Rainy Day Books and
