The Tangled Wing
Biological Constraints on the Human Spirit
Melvin Konner
Holt Paperbacks
"It is rare to find an author with a depth of knowledge in both the biological and social sciences, combined with superb writing skills sufficient to provide readers with a breathtaking new understanding of human behavior. Mel Konner did that twenty years ago in the first edition of
The Tangled Wing.
The updated and revised edition of this book is an even greater achievement . . .
The Tangled Wing
is sure to be among the most important books published in the first decade of the new millennium."—

The Thinking Life
How to Thrive in the Age of Distraction
P. M. Forni
St. Martin's Press
"
The Thinking Life
is the most provocative and useful book I’ve read in years. As I traveled through it, Professor Forni gave me ideas about how to become more thoughtful, made me feel guilty, annoyed me with his grumpiness, and inspired me with his wit and optimism. You probably won’t agree with everything in this book, but that is part of its brilliance: Forni’s compels you to live
The Thinking Life
as you devour his little gem."—

This Changes Everything
The Relational Revolution in Psychology
Christina Robb
Picador
"Robb . . . opens by describing how Harvard psychologist Carol Gilligan came to write her groundbreaking
In a Different Voice,
which argued that for women the idea of the self is intimately bound up in a network of close relationships. Robb goes on to describe how other women psychologists and psychiatrists . . . arrived at similar findings. Disseminating their ideas via consciousness-raising groups in the Boston area, these women regarded gender differences as 'systemic rather than essential' . . . they dramatically revised notions of childhood development, incest, posttraumatic stress and sexual pleasure. Drawing on interviews, Robb mingles her subjects' personal and professional histories with case histories that illustrate their theories, and with the commentaries of other experts in related fields . . ."

Time
Big Ideas, Small Books
Eva Hoffman
Picador
“Hoffman examines this philosophically fraught subject in unpretentious, clear chapters: asking how time affects our bodies, our minds, our cultures, and, finally, how time has accelerated and changed with the advent of the concept of 'immediacy'—or, as she puts it, 'what pace and density of stimulus we need in order to feel that something ‘interesting’ is happening.'”—
