1. The Stuff of Thought The Stuff of Thought
from Viking
Price: $9.99

Customer Review:
I am a Pinker fan and I enjoyed this book but it is closely written with much detailed linguistic background to support Pinker's ideas on the relation between cognition and language. Entertaining sections include the one on dirty words and his critique of Fodor's "Extreme Nativism":
"Fodor is a... more info

from Harper Perennial Modern Classics
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:
I found this book to be an interesting and informative read. While I am interested in linguistics (and thus was probably a bit more excited about the topic than the average person), I think this book would also be enjoyable for anyone. Pinker writes in an understandable manner, mostly avoiding... more info

A must read! Throughout this book, Pinker shows a thorough knowledge of a wide variety of fields, covering from neuroscience to politics to philosophy and much more.

4. How the Mind Works How the Mind Works
from Allen Lane The Penguin Press

Customer Review:
In the spirit of brevity, Pinker completely reiterates Robert Wright in every sense of the word "reiterates." I won't bore anyone with arbitrary citations.
If you are a reader.
Read Pinker's "How the Mind Works" and then read Robert Wright's "The Moral Animal," I think anyone will... more info

This book is definitely fascinating, and Pinker weaves his sense of humor throughout explanations of why verbs, regular and irregular, are the way they are.

9. Language Learnability (Cognitive Science Series) Language Learnability (Cognitive Science Series)
from Harvard University Press

Customer Review:
At first glance, this appeared to be a more formidable effort than "The Language Instinct", which seemed aimed at a very wide (and perhaps more credulous) audience.

However, the argument seems fairly simple:

1. A grammar can be abstracted from speech (in this case, English speech) based on... more info

from Houghton Mifflin
Price: $11.90

Customer Review:
I was originally introduced to this book because I was told to read "caring for your introvert", which is a hiliariously bitter essay by a self-professed introvert. I then read the rest of the book, and was overall very impressed.
As is in all of science and nature study, there are some essays... more info
