    <![CDATA[In this extraordinary bestseller, Steven Pinker, one of the   world's leading cognitive scientists, does for the rest of the mind what   he did for language in his 1994 book, The Language Instinct. He explains   what the mind is, how it evolved, and how it allows us to see, think,   feel, laugh, interact, enjoy the arts, and ponder the mysteries of life.   And he does it with the wit that prompted Mark Ridley to write in the New   York Times Book Review, &quot;No other science writer makes me laugh so much.   . . . [Pinker] deserves the superlatives that are lavished on him.&quot; The   arguments in the book are as bold as its title. Pinker rehabilitates some   unfashionable ideas, such as that the mind is a computer and that human   nature was shaped by natural selection, and challenges fashionable ones,   such as that passionate emotions are irrational, that parents socialize   their children, and that nature is good and modern society corrupting.]]>
