The Language Instinct: How the Mind Creates Language (P.S.)

Steven Pinker

Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2007

Great book
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 linguistic jargon and always explaining complex topics in a generally understandable way. ...

Gotham, 2008

If it makes a scratch golfer better, it will help you!!!
Let me start off with a little information on myself. I am a scratch golfer playing for a Division 1 college. I averaged 32.1 putts per round last year with a scoring average of 74.1 in 13 tournaments. I was dissatisfied with length putting and the clutch 4-10 footers for par saves. This book makes so much sense it just isn't funny. I was skeptical before buying it, but followed Eric Alpenfels ...

what a surprise
When a member of our book club picked this for our discussion, I was less than enthusiastic. Oh, another one of those, I thought. Then, as a loyal member, I started to read and was amazed. Well documented scientifically, extremely well written and eye-openning. The Instinct to Heal is an invitation to a way of looking at alternative ways of managing both physical and mental health that even ...

The Math Instinct: Why You're a Mathematical Genius (Along with Lobsters, Birds, Cats, and Dogs)

6 reviews
Keith Devlin

Basic Books, 2006

Animal Instinct and Human Psychology
Although the word "math" appears in the title, this book is mainly about instinct and psychology. About half the book contains discussions on how animals instinctively do certain things that have some foundation in math. The other half of the book looks at how humans perceive and behave in math-related situations - from infancy to adulthood. The book is very well-written, very clear and easy to ...

Mother Nature: Maternal Instincts and How They Shape the Human Species

34 reviews
Sarah Hrdy

Ballantine Books, 2000

A must read for any evolutionary psychologist
So many great little factoids. My favorite topics include family planning (abortion, infanticide), maternal bonding, the adaptiveness of menopause, females in social structure, and lots of other tidbits I wish more authors would cover. The most fascinating thing is that these topics come up in the animal kingdom, not just with us. Only complaint might be that it's a dense read, and doesn't have a ...

By Force of Instinct: A Pride & Prejudice Variation

22 reviews
Abigail Reynolds

Intertidal Press, 2007

A great, fun read!
I'm a P&P addict! So of course, the characters of Darcy and Elizabeth are "sacred" to me. But I really, really liked this book! It's kind of like Jane Austen meets Sandra Brown, Jenny Crusie, and Linda Howard. Not as long and not quite as "spicey hot" as Berdoll's first book--although it is definitely hot (but believable) in places. It bogs down just a little in so very many misunderstandings ...

The Puzzle Instinct: The Meaning of Puzzles in Human Life

Marcel Danesi

Indiana University Press, 2004

The Puzzle Is: Why Puzzles?
Twenty-five years ago, there was a boom in sales of a fist-sized ingenious contraption of plastic, a fractured cube of multi-colored sides, the pieces of which could be twisted so that all the six faces had different colors (easy) or back to the one configuration where each face had only its own color (hard). The ubiquitous Rubik's Cube came and went (well, it is a puzzle classic in its ...

Beyond Revenge: The Evolution of the Forgiveness Instinct

8 reviews
Michael McCullough

Jossey-Bass, 2008

A call to compassion and caring, a better world
Revenge and forgiveness are two behaviors that get lots of attention in modern society. On one end, popular movies and books (at least from Western cultures) glorify vengeful behavior. Protagonists succeed by using violence that is morally justifiable. On the other hand, there is much public interest in forgiving others and living the good life. This is a common topic in the realm of talk shows ...

MaryRose Occhino

Atria, 2008

Say I LOVE YOU to seven people
I have read all of Mary's books and have enjoyed them all. I loved when Mary gave the advise to say I LOVE YOU to seven people each day. I started saying it to people I wouldn't normally say it to, but felt love for, and it felt so good to say it out loud. Mary gives her love and advice so freely and easily she is a good example to follow for so many. I know I am a better person from taking her ...

Base Instincts: What Makes Killers Kill?

6 reviews
Jonathan H. Pincus

W. W. Norton & Company, 2002

A Very Fine Effort
The point of this fairly slim volume is to convince the reader that many (perhaps the vast majority) of our most dangerous criminals have neurologic impairments, and that brain dysfunction, along with child abuse and paranoid thinking, is at the heart of much violent behavior. This is not an entirely new message, but it is one Pincus approaches with a great deal of authority -- he's a professor ...

McGraw-Hill Professional, 1998

Just One Builder's Opinion
As a residential designer and builder I read a lot of how-to books and this is the first and only one of its kind - informative as well as entertaining. I picked it up after dinner one evening and when I next looked up it was four in the morning! Homing Instinct seems to have it all - stick building, timber framing, log homes, straw bales....even geodesic domes. It covers the foundation ...
