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.
